11 Section 5.4 - Conditional Probability P27. Look again at the Titanic data in Display 5.39. Make a tree diagram to illustrate this situation, this time branching first on whether the person survived. Write these probabilities as unreduced fractions.

15 Section 5.4 - Conditional Probability P28. Use the Multiplication Rule to find the probability that if you draw two cards from a deck without replacing the first before drawing the second, both cards will be hearts. What is the probability if you replace the first card before drawing the replacement?

23 Section 5.4 - Conditional Probability P32. Suppose you know that, in a class of 30 students, 10 students have blue eyes and 20 students have brown eyes. Twenty-four of the students are right-handed, and 6 are left- handed. Of the left-handers, 2 have blue eyes. Make a two- way table showing this situation. Then use the definition of conditional probability to find the probability that a student randomly selected from this class is right-handed, given that the student has brown eyes.

25 Section 5.4 - Conditional Probability P33. As of July 1 of a recent season, the L.A. Dodgers had won 53% of their games. 18% of their games had been played against left-handed starting pitchers. The Dodgers won 36% of the games played against left-handed starting pitchers. What percentage of their games against right-handed starting pitchers did they win?

The Dodgers won 36% of the games played against left-handed starting pitchers. What percentage of their games against right-handed starting pitchers did they win? For a typical set of 100 games, the W-L record would look approximately like the following table: Right-Handed PitcherLeft-Handed PitcherTotal Won46.526.48 =.36 x 1853 Lost35.4811.5247 Total8218100
