Provide an appropriate response.The following contingency table provides a joint frequency distribution for a group of retired people by career and age at retirement. Age at Retirement Suppose one of these people is selected at random. Find the probability that the person selected was an attorney. Then find the probability that the person selected was an attorney given that the person retired between 61 and 65. Are the events "attorney" and "retirement between 61 and 65" independent? How can you tell?

What will be an ideal response?


P(Attorney) = 0.241; P(Attorney|retired between 61 and 65) = 0.246
No; P(Attorney) ? P(Attorney|retired between 61 and 65)

Solve the problem.The "equilibrium constant" for a chemical reaction is often used to calculate the amounts of chemical substances that are present in a system. For a particular reaction, the equilibrium constant K is given by the formula  where A, B, and C are the amounts (in arbitrary units) of chemicals a, b, and c. Calculate the equilibrium constant if A = 5, B = 4, and C = 6. Round your answer to three decimal places when necessary.
