    In a sales effectiveness seminar, a group of sales representatives tried two approaches to selling a customer a new
    automobile: the aggressive approach and the passive approach. For 1,160 customers, the following record was kept:
    Suppose a customer is selected at random from the 1,160 participating customers. Let us use the following notation for
    events: A= aggressive approach, Pa= passive approach, S= sale, N= no sale. So, P(A) is the probability that an
    aggressive approach was used, and so on.
    (a) Compute P(S),P(S|A), and P(S|Pa). (Enter your answers as fractions.)
    P(S)=
    P(S|A)=
    P(S|Pa)=
    (b) Are the events S= sale and Pa= passive approach independent? Explain.
    No. The two events cannot occur together.
    Yes. P(S)=P(S|Pa).
    No. P(S)P(S|Pa).
    Yes. The two events can occur together.
    (c) Compute and S and and S. (Enter your answers as fractions.)
    P(A and S)=
    P(Pa and S)=
    (d) Compute P(N) and P(N|A). (Enter your answers as fractions.)
    P(N)=
    P(N|A)=
    (e) Are the events N= no sale and A aggressive approach independent? Explain.
    Yes. The two events can occur together.
    No. P(N)P(N|A).
    No. The two events cannot occur together.
    Yes. P(N)=P(N|A)
    (f) Compute or S. (Enter your answer as a fraction.)
    P(A or S)=
