The following cross-tabulation shows the joint distribution of family structure with self-report delinquent status:                                        Family Structure Delinquent No mother figure single mother two parents Total No 3254 1300 346 4900 Yes 3006 1524 570 5100 Total 6260 2824 916 10000     a) What is the probability that a person lives with a single mother? b) What is the probability that someone is a delinquent? c) What is the probability that someone lives with no mother parent or a single mother? d) P (delinquent | no mother parent) e) What is the probability that someone is a delinquent or lives with no mother figure? f) What is the probability that someone is a delinquent and lives with no mother figure? g) P (no mother parent| delinquent)

 Your job as the research director in the Alabama Department of Youth Services is to advise the Director which policies to follow. In the past, you have heard that some institutions have had as many as 80 disturbances in a year.  The average number of disturbances (riots, stabbings, fights, etc.) per year per institution, though, is 33, with a standard deviation of 5.  The distribution is normal.  Answer the following questions.   a) What is the z-score for an institution that had 40 disturbances in one year?  What does this z-score indicate?   b) You want to give raises to the wardens in the prisons that have disturbances in the bottom 13% of the distribution, and fire the wardens in prisons in the top 13%.  What number of disturbances will be the cut-off for each of these decisions?   c) What is the probability that an institution would have 40 or more disturbances?   d) What is the probability that an institution would have 36 or fewer disturbances?
