However, after combing through his entire sales records, he actually sold more diet cola than regular cola.

A survey asked 1,000 people which magazine they preferred, given three choices. The table below breaks the votes down by magazine and age group.
Age Below 40 Age 40 and Above
The National Journal 104 200
Newsday 120 230
The Month 240 106
If a survey is selected at random, what is the probability that the person voted for "Newsday" and is also age 40 or older? Answer choices are rounded to the hundredths place.

RATIONALE
If we want the probability of people who voted for "Newsday" and are also age 40 and over, we just need to look at the box that is associated with both categories, or 230. To calculate the probability, we can use the following formula:

Sarah throws a fair die multiple times, recording the total number of "2"s she throws and then calculating the proportion of "2"s she has thrown so far after each throw. She then constructs a graph to visualize her results.
Which of the following statements is FALSE?
The probability distribution for the possible number of outcomes changes as the total number of throws increases.
The theoretical probability of getting a 2 is 0.167 for each throw.
The relative frequency of "2"s thrown changes as Sarah throws the die more.
This is an example of the law of large numbers.

A basketball player makes 60% of his free throws. We set him on the free throw line and asked him to shoot free throws until he misses. Let the random variable X be the number of free throws taken by the player until he misses.
Assuming that his shots are independent, find the probability that he will miss the shot on his 6th throw.
