Question

Answers to a question on the legalization of marijuana in the 2006 General Social Survey indicated that there were 1044 females who answered the question, 336 females who favored making marijuana legal, and 672 men and women together who favored marking marijuana legal. With the entire number of males and females who answered the question being 1828, find the probability that a person is
a) Female and not in favor of legalization;
b) Not in favor of legalization;
c) Female or in favor of legalization
(Hints: Draw two circles that overlap in the middle one denoting females and the other denoting favoring legalization respectively.) @satellite73

Answer 1

if 672 combined favoured getting stoned, and 336 of them were women, how many were men?

Answer 2

672-336=336

Answer 3

ok so lets see if we can figure out all

Answer 4

i assume the statement
"336 females who favored making marijuana legal," means
"336 females favored making marijuana legal," or
"there were 336 females who favored making marijuana legal,"

Answer 5

yep

Answer 6

it is not really clear

Answer 7

oh they want you to draw a venn diagram?

Answer 8

now there are 1044 women total so we can continue with \(1044-336=708\) to fill in the outside of the "women" circle

Answer 9

outside of the circle are the men who are not in favor of the noble weed, we have accounted for \(708+336+336=1380\) of the \(1828\) who responded, leaving \(1828-1380=448\) outside
