1) In a recent survey of college freshman, 42% of students checked the box next to “exercise regularly”, 45% checked the box next to “eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day”, and 21% checked the box “neither.” Use the appropriate probability notation in your answers to each question.
First, put student responses in the appropriate boxes of our two-way relative frequency table:
Exercise (E)
Totals
Eats fruit and veggies (Fv)
Totals
100%
Use the appropriate probability notation in your answers to each question.
a) What is the joint probability of randomly selecting a surveyed freshman who exercises and eats 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day?
b) What is the probability of selecting a freshman who exercises regularly or eats 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day?
c) What is the probability of a student not eating fruits or vegetables?
d) What is the probability of a freshman not exercising regularly and not eating 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day?
e) Complete this conditional relative frequency table rounding to the whole nearest percentage (e.g. 12%).
Exercise (E)
Eats fruit and veggies (Fv)
f) Is there an association between eating fruits and vegetables and exercise? Explain fully.
2) In Canada 85% of households have televisions (T). 61% of households have televisions and internet (I) access. 9% have neither.
