42.

1. 8
2. 8

3. False – that is unknown.
4. False – 50% of the data are four or less.

45.

1. False – J and K are independent so they are not mutually exclusive which would imply dependency (meaning P ( J AND K ) is not 0).
2. False – see answer c.
3. True – P ( J OR K ) = P ( J ) + P ( K ) – P ( J AND K ) = P ( J ) + P ( K ) – P ( J ) P ( K ) = 0.3 + 0.6 – (0.3)(0.6) = 0.72. Note the P ( J AND K ) = P ( J ) P ( K ) because J and K are independent.
4. False – J and K are independent so P ( J ) = P ( J | K )
