question 38

Essay

An Australian snake, the diamond python, is about 3 feet long as an adult. In a study of the habitats of these creatures, micro transmitters were attached to their bodies and their locations were monitored. The following table displays the locations of these snakes by season of the year and habitat. The "other" category includes trees, logs, rocks, open ground, and under filtering cover (shrubs). Suppose these habitat locations are representative of diamond python behavior in the different seasons. Calculate the estimated probability that:
a)A randomly selected diamond back would be located in a building, given that it is spring.
b)A randomly selected diamond back would be located other than in a building given that it is spring or summer.
c)A randomly selected diamond back is observed in a building or in the summer.
