Freelance reporter Irwin Fletcher is examining the historical voting records of members of the U.S. Congress. For 175 representatives, Irwin has collected the voting record (yes or no) on 16 pieces of legislation. To examine the relationship between representatives' votes on different issues, Irwin has conducted an association rules analysis with a minimum support of \( 40 \% \) and a minimum confidence of \( 90 \% \). The data included the following bills: - Budget: approve federal budget resolution - Contras: aid for Nicaraguan contra rebels - El_Salvador: aid to El Salvador - Missile: funding for \( M-X \) missile program - Physician: freeze physician fees - Religious: equal access to all religious groups at schools - Satellite: ban on anti-satellite weapons testing The following table shows the top five rules with respect to lift ratio. The table displays representatives' decisions in a "bill-vote" format. For example, "Contras-y" indicates that the representative voted yes on a bill to support the Nicaraguan Contra rebels and "Physician-n" indicates a no vote on a bill to freeze physician fees. (a) Interpret the lift ratio of the first rule in the table. The lift ratio of the first rule in the table means that it is \( \quad \% \quad \) likely that a representative votes no on the El Salvador bill given that he or she on the Contras bill, no on the Physician bill, and yes on the Satellite bill than a randomly selected representative. (b) What is the probability that a representative votes no on El Salvador aid given that they vote yes to aid to Nicaraguan Contra rebels and yes to the M-X missile program? Round your answer to two decimal places. - Kel?g?us: equal access to all relig?ous groups at schools - Satellite: ban on anti-satellite weapons testing Noted yes on a bill to support the Nicaraguan Contra rebels and "Physician- \( n \) " indicates a no vote on a bill to freeze physician fees.
