Question 1. Canada conducts a census every ?ve years. Federal, provincial, and local governments use census data to shape public policy. In 2006, Canada tried something no other country had ever tried - census questionnaires that could be completed online.

Nineteen percent of households responded online ; sixteen percent of households responded on time and online
Question 2. Part one - Seventy-six percent of Ottawans speak English only when they're at home, 10% speak only French, 11% speak a non-o?cial language, and the remainder speak more than one language. You are conducting a poll by calling Ottawans at random. In your ?rst three calls, what is the probability you talk to :
Part two - Sixty percent of Ottawans drive their own vehicles to work, 7% ride as passengers in someone else's vehicle, 22% take public transit, 10% walk or cycle, and the remainder get to work some other way.

Question 4. Elizabeth if ?ying from Moncton to Vancouver with a connection in Montreal. The probability that her ?rst ?ight leaves on time is 0.15. If the ?ight is on time, the probability that her luggage will make the connecting ?ight in Montreal is 0.95, but if the ?rst ?ight is delayed, the probability that the luggage will make it is only 0.65.
