  Yes No Totals
Women 94 154 248
Men 108 144 252
Totals 202 298 500
(a)
Develop the joint probability table for these data and use it to answer the following questions.
  Yes No Totals
Women      
Men      
Totals      
(b)
What are the marginal probabilities?
P(18- to 34-year-old woman)
=
P(18- to 34-year-old man)
=
P(responded yes)
=
P(responded no)
=
(c)
What is the probability of living with family given you are an 18- to 34-year-old woman in this country? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
 
(d)
What is the probability of living with family given you are an 18- to 34-year-old man in this country? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
 
(e)
What is the probability of an 18- to 34-year-old in this country living with family?
 
(f)
If, in this country, 50.6% of 18- to 34-year-olds are male, do you consider this a good representative sample? Why?
Since 
P(18- to 34-year-old man) = 
 in this sample, this  ---Select--- seems does not seem like a good representative sample based on gender.
