e) a military veteran status.
f) a favorable opinion of capital punishment given that they have a military veteran status.
g) Is there an apparent relationship between one’s military veteran status and opinion of capital punishment? Provide evidence and describe any relationship.
a) P ( VS given F ) = 37 / ( 37 + 192) = 37/ 229
b) P ( VS and F) = 37/700
c) P ( VS or F) = P(VS) + P (F) - P (VS ∩ F) =
(37 + 22 + 11) /700 + (37 + 192)/700 - 37/700 =
[ 70 + 229 - 37 ] / 700 =
262/700 = 131 / 350
d) P ( F) = (37 + 192) / 700 = 229 / 700
e) P (VS) = (37 + 22 + 11) /700 = 70 /700 = 1/10
f) P ( F given VS ) = 37 / 70
g) Apparently.....those with military veteran status have a more favorable view of capital punishment than those without veteran military status
Those with military status have a probability of 37/70 = about 53% of favoring capital punishment
Thos without military veteran status have a probability of 192 / (192 + 204 + 234) = 192/630 = only about 30% of favoring capital punishment
