In a study of 380 diabetics and non-diabetics, patients were classified as underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese according to their diabetes status. The probability of being normal weight is 0.31, and the probability of having diabetes is 0.39. If you select two individuals from the population, the probability of being diabetic and normal weight is 0.09. What is the probability that either of the two randomly selected individuals (or both) will be diabetic or normal weight? a. Pr (diabetic ∩ normal weight) = 0.09 b. Pr (diabetic ∪ normal weight) = 0.61 c. Pr (diabetic | normal weight) = 0.29 d. It is not possible to calculate with the given information

According to the American Diabetes Association (2013), 8.3% of the U.S. population have diabetes. a) Suppose that you take a random of 80 Americans, what is the probability that 7% or less of these 80 people have diabetes? b) Suppose that you take a random of 120 Americans, what is the probability that 8% or more of these 120 people have diabetes?

00:01 So there was a study of 380 diabetics and non -diabetics.
00:05 The probability of picking someone at random and them having normal weight was 0 .31.
00:17 The probability of them having diabetes, if you just pick somebody at random, is 0 .39.
00:25 The probability of both, so we'll just put n for normal weight and diabetes, was not only 0 .09.
00:35 What is the probability that one or both will be diabetic or normal weight? okay, so this is complicated by having two individuals here.
00:49 So we want the probability either of them is diabetic or normal weight.
00:55 So the key to this is going to be the union.
00:58 I see there are a couple of symbols in your answers here.
01:01 This one means intersection.
01:05 It means you have to have one and the other, both.
01:09 This one means union, x or y or both...
