Public Policy and Political Science As a result of decreasing revenue, economic conditions, and deep budget deficits, many states have tried to legalize gambling or, in states where gambling is already legal, expand casino operations. For example, Washington state and Pennsylvania have joined multistate lotteries, several states have raised taxes on receipts from riverboat gambling, and at least four states have had ballot questions about starting new types of games.17 To measure public opinion in Kansas, a random sample of residents was selected and each response was categorized according to revenue preference and age. The results are given in the following two-way table.
Assume this table is representative of the entire state's population and suppose a resident is randomly selected.
a. What is the probability that the resident is in favor of legalized gambling?
b. Suppose the person is in favor of state-owned liquor stores. What is the probability that the person is 30-45 years old?
c. Suppose the person selected is under 21. What is the probability that the person is in favor of some other option?
d. Suppose the resident is not in favor of legalized gambling. What is the probability that the respondent is 21-30 years old?
e. If the person selected is under 21 or at least 45, what is the probability that this resident is in favor of state-owned liquor stores?
