3. The probability that a person picked at random is over 65 years old is 0.12. If two people are picked at random, find the probability that:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let X=event that a person is over 65
\n" ); document.write( "Let Y=event that another person is over 65
\n" ); document.write( "Let notX=event that person is under 65
\n" ); document.write( "Let notY= event that another person is under 65
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "a. they are both over 65
\n" ); document.write( "P(X and Y)=P(X)*P(Y)=\"0.12%5E2=0.144\"
\n" ); document.write( "assuming X nd Y are independent
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "b. neither is over 65
\n" ); document.write( "P(notX and notY)=P(notX)*P(notY)=\"%281-0.12%29%5E2=0.774\"
\n" ); document.write( "assuming notX and notY are independent
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "c. at least one is over 65
\n" ); document.write( "=1-P(neither is over 65)=1-0.774=0.226\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
