    1. Table below describes the distribution of a random sample S of 100 individuals, organized by gender and whether they are right- or left-handed.

    Right-handed

    Left-handed

    Males

    43

    9

    Females

    44

    4

    Let’s denote the events M = the subject is male, F = the subject is female, R = the subject is right-handed, L=the subject is left-handed. Compute the following probabilities:

    1. P(M)
    1. P(F)
    1. P(R)
    1. P(L)
    1. P(M AND R)
    1. P(F AND L)
    1. P(M OR F)
    1. P(M OR R)
    1. P(F OR L)
    1. P(M')
    1. P(R|M)
    1. P(F|L)
    1. P(L|F)
