Question

Color blindness is an inherited characteristic that is more common in males than in females. If M represents male and C represents red-green color blindness, using the relative frequencies of the incidences of males and red-green color blindness as probabilities results in the values below. P(C)=0.042, P ( M intersect C)=0.022, P ( M union C)=0.412What is the probability that a randomly selected person is not color blind?

Answer 1

The probability that a randomly selected person is not color blind is 0.958

Explanation:

Given,

C represents red-green color blindness,

Also, the probability that a randomly selected person is color blind,

P(C) = 0.042,

Thus, probability that a randomly selected person is not color blind,

P(C') = 1 - P(C) = 1 - 0.042 = 0.958
