- Working Women A survey has shown that 52 of the women in a certain community work outside the home. Of these women, 64 are married, while 86 of the women who do not work outside the home are married. Find the probabilities that a woman in that community can be categorized as follows. a. Married b. A single women working outside the homearrow_forwarda What is meant by the conditional probability of E given F? How is this probability calculated? b What are independent events? c If E and F are independent events, what is the probability of E and F occurring? What if E and F are not independent? d A jar contains 3 white and 7 black balls. Let E be the event the first ball drawn is black and let F be the event the second ball drawn is black. i Find P(EF) if the balls are drawn with replacement. ii Find P(EF) if the balls are drawn without replacement.arrow_forward
