Suppose a customer is selected át random from the 1160 particilpating customers. Let us use the fol S = sale, N = no sale. So, P(A) is the probability that an aggressive approach was used, and so on. (a) Compute P(S), P(S | A), and P(S | Pa). (Enter your answers as fractions.) P(S) = P(S | A) = P(S | Pa) = (b) Are the events S = sale and Pa = passive approach independent? Explain. O Yes. The two events can occur together. O No. P(S) ± P(S | Pa). O Yes. P(S) = P(S | Pa). O No. The two events cannot occur together. (c) Compute P(A and S) and P(Pa and S). (Enter your answers as fractions.) P(A and S) = P(Pa and S) = (d) Compute P(N) and P(N | A). (Enter your answers as fractions.)
