QuestionA survey on the spending habits of a sample of
households finds that two of the most common monthly expenses for
households in the sample are mortgages (home loans) and car loans.
The findings from the survey are presented in the Venn diagram
below.
A Venn diagram with an unlabeled universal set contains
two intersecting circles labeled Mortgages and Car loans that
divides the universal set into four regions labeled as follows,
where the label is given first and the content is given second:
Mortgages only, 11; Mortgages and Car loans only, 85; Car loans
only 24; outside the circles only, 9.
Given that a random household from the sample does not have a
mortgage, what is the probability that the household has a car
loan?
Provide the final answer as a simplified fraction.
QuestionA group of high school students reports who has a job

and the content is given second: Job only, 20; Job and Sports only,
8; Sports only, 16; Outside the circles only, 24.

QuestionThe probability that a debt holder has student loan
debt, given that they also have credit card debt is 2242. If we
know that 33 people in a sample of debt holders have student loan
debt and 42 people have credit card debt, fill in the Venn diagram
below with the number of debt holders to reflect this probability.

weight exercises regularly, given that they are also on a diet is
515. If we know that 25 people who exercise regularly and 15 people
who are on a diet are all trying to lose weight, fill in the Venn
diagram below with the number of people to reflect this
probability.
Let Event A represent the people who exercise regularly, and
Event B represent the people who diet.
QuestionThe probability that a high school athlete is offered
admissions to a college, given that they were also involved in
music, is 715. If we know that 25 athletes and 15 musicians were
offered admission, fill in the Venn diagram below with the number
of students to reflect this probability.
Let Event A represent the athletes offered admission, and
Event B represent the musicians offered admission.
QuestionThe following Venn diagram shows the percent of
people who own a cat and own a dog.
A Venn diagram with an unlabeled universal set contains
two intersecting circles labeled Has a dog and Has a cat that
divide the universal set into four regions labeled as follows,
where the label is given first and the content is given second: Has
a dog only, 35 percent; Has a dog and has a cat only, 10 percent;
Has a cat only, 15 percent; outside the circles only, 40 percent.
Given that a randomly selected person has a cat, what is the
probability that the person also has a dog?
Give your answer as a decimal without any percent signs.
Round to two decimal places.

QuestionA class of eighth graders reports who plays music and
who plays sports. They present the information in the following
Venn diagram.
A normal curve is over a horizontal axis and is
centered on 0.00. Two points are labeled on the horizontal axis,
one at negative 0.76 and another at 0.76. The area under the curve
to the left of negative 0.76 and right of 0.76 is shaded.
Given that a random student does not play music, what is the
probability that the student does not play sports?

QuestionA survey of a sample of recent hires at major tech
companies aims to investigate which applicants are most likely to
be hired for positions in data science. The findings of the survey
are presented in the Venn diagram below.
A Venn diagram with an unlabeled universal set contains
two intersecting circles labeled Graduate degree and 10+ years
experience that divides the universal set into four regions labeled
as follows, where the label is given first and the content is given
second: Graduate degree only, 16; Graduate degree and 10+ years
experience only, 4; 10+ years experience only 20; outside the
circles only, 7.
Given that a random data scientist from the sample has
less than ten years of experience in the industry, what is the
probability that they have a graduate degree in a relevant
discipline?

QuestionA fish fry is offering two types of fish tonight:
Halibut (H) and Tilapia (T). Halibut is offered only one way, and
the tilapia is offered four ways. A married couple eats dinner at
the fish fry, and each person orders a single fish option. The tree
diagram below shows the probabilities of the different outcomes.
A tree diagram has a root that splits into 2 branches
labeled H and T. Each primary branch splits into 2 secondary
branches, labeled H and T. Each branch has the following
probability: H, StartFraction 1 Over 5 EndFraction; T,
StartFraction 4 Over 5 EndFraction; H H, StartFraction 1 Over 5
EndFraction; H T, StartFraction 4 Over 5 EndFraction; T H,
StartFraction 1 Over 5 EndFraction; T T, StartFraction 4 Over 5
EndFraction.

ordering both tilapia and halibut.
