    bayes' theorem

    P(A ^ B) ≥ P(A) [^is the intersection]

    a. True

    b. False

    If A and B are independent events, then P(A^B) = P(A)P(B).

    b. False

    P(A|B) = 1 − P(B|A) for all events A and B.

    a. True
    b. False

    If A and B are independent events with P(A) = 0.1 and P(B) = 0.5, then P(A B) = .6.

    a. True

    b. False

    If 50 of 250 people contacted make a donation to the city symphony, then the relative frequency
    method assigns a probability of .2 to the outcome of making a donation.

    a. True

    b. False

    An automobile dealership is waiting to take delivery of nine new cars. Today, anywhere from zero to all
    nine cars might be delivered. It is appropriate to use the classical method to assign a probability of 1/10
    to each of the possible numbers that could be delivered.

    a. True

    b. False

    P(A|B) + P(A|Bc) = 1 for all events A and B.

    Bc= complement

    a. True

    b. False

    If P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B), then A and B are mutually exclusive.

    a. True

    b. False

    ...

    If A and B are mutually exclusive events, then P(A | B) = 0.

    a. True

    b. False

    When the results of experimentation or historical data are used to assign probability values, the method
    used to assign probabilities is referred to as the

    relative frequency method

    A joint probability can have a value greater than 1. T/F

    False

    If 50 of 250 people contacted make a donation to the city symphony, then the relative frequency
    method assigns a probability of .2 to the outcome of making a donation. T/F

    True

    The probability of an event

    is the sum of the probabilities of the sample points in the event.

    The range of probability is

    zero to one.
