Find the probability that the subject answered “No.” Show this answer as a fraction. Do not attempt to reduce the fraction.
Survey Method NO YES TOTAL

I’m not necessarily looking for the answers, but if someone could give me a “helpful” explanation on how to solve them, I would really appreciate it!!

Best answer:

Answer by M3
Survey Method NO YES TOTAL
Anonymous … 576 224 800
Personal ……. 600 200 800
Phone ………. 632 168 800
Total ……….. 1808 592 2400

Probability = favorable outcomes / sample space

1. P(no) =1808/2400
2. P(yes) =592/2400
3. P(anonymous | yes) = 224/592

btw, why did you make such a long q out of it when the data & prelim are common ?
