. Suppose an individual is randomly selected from the population of all adult males living in the
USA. Let A be the event that the selected individual is over 6 ft in height, and let B be the event
that the selected individual is a professional basketball player. Which do you think is larger,
P(A|B) or P(B|A)? Why?
. Return to the credit card scenario of Exercise 14, where A ¼ {Visa}, B ¼ {MasterCard},
P(A) ¼ .5, P(B) ¼ .4, and P(A \ B) ¼ .25. Calculate and interpret each of the following
probabilities (a Venn diagram might help).
(a) P(B|A)
(b) P(B0|A)
(c) P(A|B)
(d) P(A0|B)
(e) Given that the selected individual has at least one card, what is the probability that he or
she has a Visa card?
