Probability: Homework is part of the collection col10555 written by Barbara Illowsky and Susan Dean and provides a number of homework exercises related to Probability with contributions from Roberta Bloom.

Suppose that you have 8 cards. 5 are green and 3 are yellow. The 5 green cards are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The 3 yellow cards are numbered 1, 2, and 3. The cards are well shuffled. You randomly draw one card.

  • G = card drawn is green
  • E = card drawn is even-numbered
  • List the sample space.
  • P(G) =
  • P(G|E) =
  • P(G AND E) =
  • P(G OR E) =
  • Are G and E mutually exclusive? Justify your answer numerically.
  • {G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, Y1, Y2, Y3}
  • 5 8
  • 2 3
  • 2 8 size 12{ { { size 8{2} } over { size 8{8} } } } {}
  • 6 8 size 12{ { { size 8{6} } over { size 8{8} } } } {}
  • No

Refer to the previous problem. Suppose that this time you randomly draw two cards, one at a time, and with replacement .

  • G 1 = first card is green
  • G 2 = second card is green
  • Draw a tree diagram of the situation.
  • P ( G 1  AND  G 2 ) = size 12{P \( G rSub { size 8{1} } " and "G rSub { size 8{2} } \) ={}} {}
  • P ( at least one green ) = size 12{P \( "at least one green" \) ={}} {}
  • P ( G 2 G 1 ) = size 12{P \( G rSub { size 8{2} } \lline G rSub { size 8{1} } \) ={}} {}
  • Are G 2 size 12{G rSub { size 8{2} } } {} and G 1 size 12{G rSub { size 8{1} } } {} independent events? Explain why or why not.

  • List the sample space.
  • Let A be the event that either a 3 or 4 is rolled first, followed by an even number. Find P(A) .
  • Let B be the event that the sum of the two rolls is at most 7. Find P(B) .
  • In words, explain what “ P(A|B) ” represents. Find P(A|B) .
  • Are A and B mutually exclusive events? Explain your answer in 1 - 3 complete sentences, including numerical justification.

A special deck of cards has 10 cards. Four are green, three are blue, and three are red. When a card is picked, the color of it is recorded. An experiment consists of first picking a card and then tossing a coin.

  • List the sample space.
  • Let A be the event that a blue card is picked first, followed by landing a head on the coin toss. Find P(A) .
  • Let B be the event that a red or green is picked, followed by landing a head on the coin toss. Are the events A and B mutually exclusive? Explain your answer in 1 - 3 complete sentences, including numerical justification.
  • Let C be the event that a red or blue is picked, followed by landing a head on the coin toss. Are the events A and C mutually exclusive? Explain your answer in 1 - 3 complete sentences, including numerical justification.
