Color blindness is an inherited characteristic that is more common in males than in females. If M represents male and C represents red-green color blindness, we use the relative frequencies of the incidence s of males and red-green color blindness as probabilities to get

P (C) = 0.039, P (M∩C) = 0.035, P (M∪C) = 0.491. P (C) = 0.039, P (M∩C) = 0.035,

P (M∪C) = 0.491.

Find the following probabilities

(a) P (C′)

(b) P (M)

(c) P (M′)

(d) P (M′∩C′)

(e) P (C∩M′)

(f) P (C∪M′)

Step-by-step explanation:

P (C) = 0.039, P (M∩C) = 0.035, P (M∪C) = 0.491

(a) P (C′) = 1 - P (C) = 1 -.039 =.961

b) P (M) =.487

c) P (M′) = 1-.487 =.513

d) P (M′∩C′) = 1 - (P (M∪C) = 1-.491 =.509

e) P (C∩M′) = P (C) - P (M∩C) =.004

f) P (C∪M′) =.452.
