the result of the survey:
Male Female

(a) Find the probability that an interviewee chooses ‘Eco Trip’.
(b) Find the probability that a male interviewee chooses ’Shopping Tour’.
(c) In the group of interviewees choosing ‘Shopping Tour’, find the proportion of female.
(d) An interviewee does not choose “River Cruise”. What is the probability that this person is a female?

Sagot :

Using the probability concept, it is found that:

a) There is a 0.1485 = 14.85% probability that an interviewee chooses ‘Eco Trip’.

b) There is a 0.3261 = 32.61% probability that a male interviewee chooses ’Shopping Tour’.

c) The proportion of females is of 0.7059 = 70.59%.

d) There is a 0.6061 = 60.61% probability that this person is a female.

e) There is a 0.3953 = 39.53% probability that she chooses “River Cruise”.

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Item a:

  • Total of 20 + 14 + 15 + 36 + 11 + 5 = 101 interviewees.
  • 11 + 4 = 15 choose Eco Trip.

Hence:

[tex]p = \frac{15}{101} = 0.1485[/tex]

0.1485 = 14.85% probability that an interviewee chooses ‘Eco Trip’.

Item b:

20 + 15 + 11 = 46 male interviewees, 15 choose Shopping Tour, hence:

[tex]p = \frac{15}{46} = 0.3261[/tex]

0.3261 = 32.61% probability that a male interviewee chooses ’Shopping Tour’.

Item c:

15 + 36 = 51 interviewees choose Shopping Tour, 36 are female, hence:

[tex]p = \frac{36}{51} = 0.7059[/tex]

The proportion of females is of 0.7059 = 70.59%.

Item d:

15 + 36 + 11 + 4 = 66 interviewees do not choose River Cruise, 36 + 4 = 40 are female, hence:

[tex]p = \frac{40}{66} = 0.6061[/tex]

0.6061 = 60.61% probability that this person is a female.

Item e:

101 - 15 = 86 people do not choose Eco Trip, of those, 34 choose River Cruise, hence:

[tex]p = \frac{34}{86} = 0.3953[/tex]

0.3953 = 39.53% probability that she chooses “River Cruise”.
