Answer

Let M denotes male and F denotes female, S denotes adults prefer watching sports, O denotes adults watching opera, and N denotes the total number of adults. Total number of male = $96+24 = 120$ Total number of female = $45+85 =130$ i. P(O) = $\frac{24+85}{250}$ $=\frac{109}{250}$ $=0.436$ ii. P(M) $= \frac{96+24}{N}$ $=\frac{120}{250}$ =0.48 iii. P(S|F) = $\frac{45}{250}$ =0.18 iv. P(M|S)= $\frac{96}{250}$ =0.384 v.$P( F∩O)$ = $\frac{85}{250}$ =0.34 vi, $P(S U M)$ = $\frac{96+45+24}{250}$ =0.66 b. $P(F)$ = $\frac{130}{250}$ =0.52 $P(S) = \frac{141}{250}$ =0.564 $P(S ∩ F) = \frac{45}{250}$ =0.18 $P(S)+P(F) \ne P(S ∩ F)$ The events female and prefers watching sports are not independent. $P(S ∩ F)\ne 0 $ , therefore they are not mutually exclusive.
