Problem set
1. when an avocado is selected at random from those delivered to a food store, the probability that it is ripe is 0.12, the probability that it is bruised is 0.054, and the probability that
it is ripe and bruised is 0.019.
a. rounding your answers to the nearest thousandth where necessary, find the probability that an avocado randomly selected from those delivered to the store is
i. not bruised.
ii. ripe given that it is bruised.
iii. bruised given that it is ripe.
b. which is larger, the probability that a randomly selected avocado is bruised given that it is ripe or the probability that a randomly selected avocado is bruised?
explain in words what this tells you.
