Open Ended

Choose an American adult at random.
Define two events: 

A = the person has high cholesterol: 240
milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dl)
or above 

B = the person has borderline high
cholesterol: 200 to < 240 mg/dl 


According to the American Heart Association, P(A) = 0.16 and P(B) = 0.29. 

1.  Explain why events A and B are mutually exclusive.

Multiple Choice

What is the general addition rule for two events A and B?

1

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

2

P(A or B) = P(A) * P(B)

3

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)

4

P(A or B) = P(A) - P(B)

Multiple Choice

What is the general addition rule for two events A and B?

1

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) + P(A ∩ B)

2

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

3

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) - P(B) + P(A ∩ B)

4

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) - P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

Draw

In a large apartment complex, 30% of residents read USA Today, 25% read the New York Times, and 15% read both papers. Suppose we select a resident of the apartment complex at random and record which of the two papers the person reads. 


Make a Venn diagram to display
the sample space of this chance
process using the events A: reads
USA Today and B: reads New York
Times.
