Simple event: Has a goal of getting rich.
Joint event: Has a goal of getting rich and is between 18-25 years old.
P(Has a goal of getting rich) = 715/1000 = 0.715
P(Has a goal of getting rich and is in the 26-40 year old group) = 310/1000 =
0.31
P(Has a goal of getting rich | in the 26-40 year old group) = 310/500 = 0.62
Since P(Has a goal of getting rich | in the 26-40 year old group) P(Has a goal
of getting rich), the events age group and has getting rich as a goal are not
statistically independent.

Distribution A: Because the mean of 1 is greater than the median of 0, the
distribution is right-skewed.
Distribution B: Because the mean of 3 is less than the median of 4, the
distribution is left-skewed.
The means are different but the variances are the same.
Based on the fact that the odds of winning are expressed out with a base of
31,478, you will think that the automobile dealership sent out 31,478 fliers.
