\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a. Find the probability a randomly selected family has a cell phone.
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: 75/100
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "b. Find the probability a randomly selected family has a cell phone, given that they own a computer.
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: 37/46
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "c. Are the events of owning a computer and having a cell phone independent or dependent events?
\n" ); document.write( "Check:: P(have cell)*P(own computer) = P(have cell and own computer)
\n" ); document.write( "(75/100)(37/100) = 37/100
\n" ); document.write( "That is false.
\n" ); document.write( "So those events are dependent.
