Respuesta :

A. The probability that a student who has chores also has a curfew.

The total number of students that have chores is 75.

Out of these 75, 51 also have a curfew.

So, the probability that a student who has chores also has a curfew is;

[tex]\frac{51}{75}[/tex]

B. The probability that a student who has a curfew also has chores.

The total number of students that have a curfew is 81.

Out of these 75, 51 also have chores.

So, the probability that a student who has a curfew also has chores is;

[tex]\frac{51}{81}[/tex]

C. To check for independence between the 2 events (chores and curfew), we perform a p-test of independence.

The square is a 2 x 2 square, therefore, the degree of freedom is (2-1)(2-1)=1

The chi-square value is;

[tex]\chi^2=0.149[/tex]

We obtain the p-value as;

[tex]p=0.6999[/tex]

Since p > 0.05, the events chores and curfew are independent.
