Half of all males prefer Brand A Two-thirds of all females prefer Brand E From this we know that brand preference and gender are: A) independent because P(Prefer Brand A | Male)-P(Prefer Brand A and Male) B) not independent because P(Gender | Brand Preferred) -P(Gender) for all brand, gender combinations. C) independent because more males prefer Brand A and more females prefer Brand B D) not independent because P(Prefer Brand A | Female) f P(Prefer Brand A)

Explanation / Answer

1)P(Brand A and female) =P(Brand A)-P(brand A and male) =0.4-0.7*0.5=0.05

therefore P(female|brand A) =P(Brand A and female)/P(brand A) =0.05/0.4 =0.125

option B is correct

2)option D is correct ; not independent,........

3)

hence probability of  run out of walnut pastries on every one of the Saturdays =(0.2266)4 =0.0026

option A is correct

for normal distribution z score =(X-?)/? here mean=       ?= 30 std deviation   =?= 8
