In a large city, two newspapers are published, the Sun and the Post. The circulation departments report than 22% of the city's households have a subscription to the Sun and 35% subscribe to the Post.
1. What is the probability of a household subscribing to both the Sun and the Post?
2. What is the probability of a household subscribing to either the Sun or the Post?
1) considering independence:
probability of a household subscribing to both the Sun and the Post
=P(subs to Sun)*P(subs to Post)=0.22*0.35=0.0770
2)
probability of a household subscribing to either the Sun or the Post
=P(Sun)+P(Post)-P(both)=0.22+0.35-0.0770=0.4930
In a large city, two newspapers are published, the Sun and the Post. The circulation departments...

Two equal-sized newspapers have an overlap circulation of 10% (10% of the subscribers subscribe to both newspapers). Advertisers are willing to pay $16 to advertise in one newspaper but only $30 to advertise in both, because they're unwilling to pay twice to reach the same subscriber. Suppose the advertisers bargain by telling each newspaper that they're going to reach agreement with the other newspaper, whereby they pay the other newspaper $14 to advertise. According to the nonstrategic view of bargaining,...

A city ballot includes a local initiative that would legalize gambling. The issue is hotly contested, and two groups decide to conduct polls to predict the outcome. The local newspaper finds that 53% of 1600 randomly selected voters plan to vote "yes," while a college Statistics class finds 54% of 350 randomly selected voters in support. Both groups will create 95% confidence intervals. Assume that all voters know how they intend to vote and that the initiative requires a majority...
