Section 4.2

[1] "4.2.7-4.2.10, 4.2.27, 4.2.36"

4.2.7-4.2.10

7 Events, E7 has twice the probability.

Events 1-6 have probability x, E7 has probability 2x

\[ P(E_1) + P(E_2) + P(E_3) + P(E_4) + P(E_5) + P(E_6) + P(E_7) = 1 \]

\[ x + x + x +x +x +x + 2x = 1 = 8x \]

\[ x = \frac{1}{8} \]

4.2.7

\[ x + x +x = \frac{3}{8} \]

4.2.8

\[ x + x + x + 2x = \frac{5}{8} \]

4.2.9

\[ x + x = \frac{2}{8} \]

4.2.10

All three are not possible - therefore probability = 0

4.2.27

Part a:

Total must some to 1 therefore

\[ 1 = .49 + .21 + .09 + ? \]

Remaining probability = 0.21

Part b:

\[ .49 + .21 + .21 = .91 = 1 - .09 \]

Section 4.3

4.3.1

\(10 \times 8 = 80\)

4.3.2

\(4 \times 7 \times 3 = 84\)

4.3.5-12

  • 4.3.5: 60

  • 4.3.6: 3628800

  • 4.3.7: 720

  • 4.3.8: 20

  • 4.3.9: 10

  • 4.3.10: 10

  • 4.3.11: 1

  • 4.3.12: 20

4.3.13

\[ P^8_5 = 6720 \]

4.3.16

\[ 4 \times 12 \times 4 = 192 \]

4.3.19

Part A: - 3 stages with n = 52 for each: - \(52 \times 52 \times 52 = 140,608\)

Part B:

  • 3 stages with n = 52, 51, and 50, respectively
  • \(52 \times 51 \times 50 = 132,600\)

Part C: - 1st stage - pick any card = 52 - 2nd stage - 1 option same card as the previous person - 3rd stage - 1 option - same card as previous

  • Total options from part A
  • Probability of same card = \(52/140608 = 0.00037\)

Part D

  • Probability that all three students pick different cards:
  • Part B/Part A = \(132600/140608 = 0.943\)

4.3.21

  • Part A: order does not matter - \(C^{52}_5 = \frac{52!}{(52 - 5)!5!} = 2,598,960\)

  • Part B: Only 4 different combinations

  • Part C: 4/2598960 = 0.00000154

4.3.24

Part A

  • \(C^5_2 = 30\)

Part B:

  • 1/30

4.3.24

4.3.26

  • Part A: \(4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 24\)

  • Part B: If Dave wins sprint there are \(1 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6\) total ways he can win. Probability = 6/24

  • Part C: \(1 \times 1 \times 2 \times 1 = 2\), Probability = 2/24

  • Part D: There are 3 options for first (any but Ed), 2 options for second (not and and not first), 1 option for 3rd left and Ed for fourth. Prob = 6/24

4.3.28

  • Step 1 - how many ways can 5 problems go on the exam from 10 questions?
    • \(C^{10}_5 = 252\)
  • Step 2 - howmany ways can you choose 5 problems from 6 questions?
    • \(C^6_5 = 6\)

Probability of all 5 being questions she knows is 6/252 = 0.024.

4.3.29

Total ways to draw the shapes: \(12! = 479,001,600\)

How many ways to group them when drawing them? \(12 \times 2 \times 1 \times 9 \times 2 \times 1 \times 6 \times 2 \times 1 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 31,104\)

Probability = \(31,104/479,001,600 = 0.00006494 = \frac{4!(3!)^4}{12!}\)

4.5.2

\[ P(S_1|A) = \frac{P(A|S_1)P(S_1)}{P(A)} = \frac{.2 * .7}{.23} = 0.61 \]

  • \(P(D|M^c) = .03\)

  • \(P(M) = .9\)

\[ P(D) = P(D|M)P(M) + P(D|M^c)P(M^c) . = .01*.9 + .03*(1-.9) = 0.012 \]

4.5.15

Part C

  • note that answers are different at 5th decimal point because of rounding in part A

\[ P(D|N) = P(D\cap N)/P(N) = .02/.87 = 0.023 \]

Part D

\[ P(P|D^c) = .05/(.05 + .85) = 0.056 \]

Part E
