Question

In Akutan, Alaska, men are 77% of the population. It is also known 11.3% of

Akutan males smoke cigars while 2.1% of Akutan females smoke cigars. One

member of the population is selected at random for a survey involving cell

phone carriers.


Find the probability that the selected subject is not male.

Answer 1

Answer: 0.23

Explanation:

Given that:

Percentage population of males = 77% = 0.77

Hence,

Percentage that aren't male = ( 1 - 0.77) = 0.23

P(males) = 0.77

Hence,

P(non-males) = 1 - 0.77 = 0.23
