    For question (a), "she" refers to the "person", which is a feminin noun in French. If you find this confusing, then simply replace "she" by "the person".

    nice explanation, but the gender mixup is utterly confusing.

      Geoffrey Woodland Substituting "she" by "the person" should clear up any confusion.

    I cant tell you how long i have struggled with understanding this. I have had numerous meetings with my professor. told her i am struggling. she explained ideas but never mentioned there was a formula. the study material is so hard to navigate that i cant find what i need to learn. i applied the formula you used and now i know what is going on! all this time wasted on struggling and you cleared it up in 8 minutes. thank you!

      When you think of a probability as the ratio of the "size" of an event versus the "size" of the sample space, everything becomes much simpler. :-)

      The "she" refers to "the person", which is a feminine noun in French. (French is my first language.) If you find it confusing, replace "she" in this case by "the person". Cheers!

    • @chrisallen9509
      @chrisallen9509 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The set of all males and the set of all females are disjoint, or they have no common elements. Thus the probability of being male and female is the intersection of two disjoint sets, or the empty set, which is 0. This assumes someone doesn't identify as both genders...

    P(M n R) = P(M) * P(R | M) = 0.49 * 0.41 A tree diagram would justify this. I think your calculation that P(M n R) = 0.41 is incorrect.

      Hi
      In reply to your comment, the number you have for P(R | M) is incorrect. This figure should be (0.41/0.49), as it represents the probability that the person chosen is right handed, given that they are male.
      Explaining it another way, if we pretended that the survey was of 100 people, and so multiplying the numbers in the table by 100 gives actual numbers of people instead of percentages - Then P(R | M) represents "what is the probability that a randomly selected person is right handed, given that they are male". There are 49 males, and 41 of them are right handed, so P(R | M) = 41/49.
      Going back to what the video states - that P(M n R) = 0.41 - this information comes from the table. P(M n R) means the probability that a person is male and right handed. Using my sample size of 100 scenario again, there are 41 people in this category, out of a total 100.
      I think the confusion has come from the similar notations used in probability, namely - P(R | M) vs P(R n M), where:
      P(R | M) = prob. of R (GIVEN) M, and
      P(R n M) = prob. of R (AND) M.
      At the risk of repeating myself, with conditional probabilities, like P(R | M), the sample size changes. It changes to be the sample size of the condition being applied, in this case M (Male). With probability of intersecting events, like P(M n R), the sample size is the entire population.
      As a final comment, with your statement regarding a tree diagram, I think that your calculated number "0.49*0.41" represents the intersection of (M) with (M n R), or rewriting your whole statement correctly, it would read:
      P(M n (M n R)) = P(M) * P(M n R) = 0.49 * 0.41
      As a Venn diagram, this would be represented by a larger circle (M) fully containing a smaller circle (M n R), where (M n R) = 0.41, and M = 0.49, with 0.08 outside the smaller circle, which is of course the males who are left handed.
