Two Basic Rules of Probability · Exercise 1
Forty-eight percent of all voters of a certain state prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first-degree murder. Among Latino registered voters in this state, 55 percent prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first-degree murder. Of all citizens in this state, 37.6 percent are Latino.
In this problem, let
• C = citizens of a certain state (registered voters) preferring life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first-degree murder.
• L = registered voters of the state who are Latino.
Suppose that one citizen is randomly selected.
Find P(C).
