A poll concerning credit cards found that 35 percent of respondents use a credit card that gives them one mile of air travel for every dollar they charge. Thirty percent of the respondents charge more than $2000 per month. Of those respondents who charge more than $2000, 80 percent use a credit card that gives them one mile of air travel for every dollar they charge. What is the probability that a randomly selected respondent expected to spend more than $2000 AND use a credit card that gives them a mile of air travel for every dollar they charge?

• A

  (0.80)(0.35)

• B

  (0.80)(0.30)

• C

  (0.30)(0.35)

• D

  0.80

• B

  P(J OR K) = 0

• C

  P(J) does not equal P(J|K).

• D

  P(J OR K) = 0.72

When sampling WITHOUT replacement, the second pick is

A poll concerning credit cards found that 35 percent of respondents use a credit card that gives them one mile of air travel for every dollar they charge. Thirty percent of the respondents charge more than $2000 per month. Of those respondents who charge more than $2000, 80 percent use a credit card that gives them one mile of air travel for every dollar they charge. What does 0.80 represent?

• A

  P(air miles AND charge over $2000 per month)

• B

  P(charge over $2000 per month | air miles)

• C

  P(air miles OR charge over $2000 per month)

• D

  P(air miles | charge over $2000 per month)
