38. Find the probability that the girl has black hair GIVEN that she wears a ponytail.

39. Find the probability that the girl wears her hair plain OR has brown hair.

1. Twenty-five percent of the data are at most five.
2. There is about the same amount of data from 4–5 as there is from 5–7.
3. There are no data values of three.
4. Fifty percent of the data are four.

44. If P ( G | H ) = P ( G ), then which of the following is correct?

1. G and H are mutually exclusive events.
2. P ( G ) = P ( H )
3. Knowing that H has occurred will affect the chance that G will happen.
4. G and H are independent events.

45. If P ( J ) = 0.3, P ( K ) = 0.63, and J and K are independent events, then explain which are correct and which are incorrect.

1. P ( J AND K ) = 0
2. P ( J OR K ) = 0.9
3. P ( J OR K ) = 0.72
4. P ( J ) ≠ P ( J | K )

46. On average, five students from each high school class get full scholarships to four-year colleges. Assume that most high school classes have about 500 students. X = the number of students from a high school class that get full scholarships to four-year schools. Which of the following is the distribution of X ?

Chapter 7

Use the following information to answer the next three exercises: Richard’s Furniture Company delivers furniture from 10 A.M. to 2 P.M. continuously and uniformly. We are interested in how long (in hours) past the 10 A.M. start time that individuals wait for their delivery.

47. X ~ _________

1. U (0, 4)
2. U (10, 20)
3. Exp (2)

48. The average wait time is:

1. 1 hour.
2. 2 hours.
3. 2.5 hours.
4. 4 hours.

49. Suppose that it is now past noon on a delivery day. The probability that a person must wait at least 1.5 more hours is:

1. $\frac{1}{4}$
2. $\frac{1}{2}$
3. $\frac{3}{4}$
4. $\frac{3}{8}$

50. Given: X ~ Exp $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$
