B = individual purchased the product
S = Individiual recalls seeing the advertisement
B∩S = individual purchased the product and recalls seeing the advertisement
The probabilities assigned were ,P(B) = 0.20, P(S) = 0.40 and P(B∩S) = 0.12

Final answer:

The provided information lacks the specific data required to calculate the probabilities for product usage frequency or demographics, making it impossible to provide the probabilities without additional context.

Step-by-step explanation:

To address the various elements of the question posed by the student, we need to interpret probabilities and events related to product usage and demographic characteristics (ethnicity). However, the information provided to answer questions 60, 61, and 62 isn't complete, and specific probabilities for these events are not given. Without additional data or context, we cannot provide the exact probabilities requested. Generally, to find the probability of a specific event like an individual using a product a certain number of times per day or belonging to a specific ethnic group, we would divide the number of individuals fulfilling the condition by the total number of individuals surveyed.

Similarly, for compound events, we need to know the joint probability which might require additional data on intersections of these events.For instance, if we have the number of Japanese Americans who use the product 21 to 30 times per day and the total number of people surveyed, we could use that information to find the required probability.
