Newspaper confusion and statistics.

78 Views Asked by At

As part of my new university course I am taking I need to do some statistics so I decided to do some practice. As I said I am new to statistics and I am currently very stuck on the following question:

And so far I have handled the question like this but I am not sure if I am doing it properly..

i)

Mon - ($150+140+110=400$)

Tue – ($70+80+65=215$)

Wed – ($20+18+21=59$)

Thu – ($25+22+16=63$)

Fri - ($35+30+35=100$)

$$\text{Total} = 400+215+59+63+100 = 837$$ $$p(Mon) = 400/837 = 0.47\%$$

ii)

$$\text{Ananova}/\text{Tuesday} = 70/(70+80+65)=70/215= 0.32%$$

iii)

No clue.

iv)

Didn't get to it. But cant really think of a way how to distribute the values using Bayes law.

The questions a bit weird but it would be lovely if someone can help me out on this issue.
