Provide an appropriate response.The table below describes the smoking habits of a group of asthma sufferers.
If one of the 1038 subjects is randomly selected, find P(N), the probability that the person is a nonsmoker. Then find P(N|W), the probability that the person chosen is a nonsmoker given that the person is a woman. Are the events "being a nonsmoker" and "being a woman" independent? How can you tell?
What will be an ideal response?
P(N) = 0.671; P(N|W) = 0.660
No; P(N) ? P(N|W)
