Question 8. Using the Marijuana by Gender table from Module 4b which is replicated below, What is the probability that a user will be female given chronic usage, i.e. P(Female|Chronic)?

In Module 4b, we saw that males and females were proportionally the same in having never used marijuana and occasionally used marijuana, but that females had nearly twice the rate of chronic usage than males, 6.7% to 3.6%? What other factors might explain the gender difference in chronic marijuana usage? Do you think this result might be due to chance alone? Why or why not?

Question 10. You’re a representative of local police union. The current starting wage for rookie police officer is $45,000.
