The following contingency table provides data from a sample of 6,224 individuals who were exposed to smallpox in Boston.
| Inoculated | Not Inoculated | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lived | 238 | 5136 | 5374 |
| Died | 6 | 844 | 850 |
| Total | 244 | 5980 | 6224 |
What is the probability that a person was inoculated?
What is the probability that a person lived?
What is the probability that a person died or was inoculated?
What is the probability that a person died given they were inoculated?
What is the probability that a person died given they were not inoculated?
Does it appear that survival depended on if a person were inoculated? Or are they independent? Use probability to support your claim.
