Question 75

A survey of university students found that 310\displaystyle \frac{3}{10}103​ of respondents play a competitive sport. When asked about their sleep patterns, 34\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}43​ stated they get at least 8 hours of sleep per night. Of those who get at least 8 hours of sleep, it was found that 1150\displaystyle \frac{11}{50}5011​ also play a competitive sport.

Find the probability that a randomly selected student from this survey:

a.

Gets at least 8 hours of sleep and plays a competitive sport.

[2]
b.

Does not get at least 8 hours of sleep and does not play a competitive sport.

[3]
c.

Determine, giving your reason, whether or not getting at least 8 hours of sleep and playing a competitive sport are statistically independent.
