Question: A U.S. Census American Housing Survey studied how U.S. homeowners get to work ("How People Get to Work." USA Today Snapshot, February 25, 2003, 1A). Suppose that the survey consisted of a sample of 1,000 homeowners and 1,000 renters.
A contingency table revealed the following results.
Drives to work Homeowner Renter Total
Yes 824 681 1,505
No 176 319 495
Total 1,000 1,000 2,000
- What is the probability of selecting a respondent that drives to work or is a homeowner? What rule of probability applies here? (0.25 point)
- Given that the respondent is a homeowner, what then is the probability that he or she drives to work? What rule of probability applies here?(0.25 point)
