Die A has 4 red and 2 white faces, whereas die B has

2 red and 4 white faces. A fair coin is flipped once. If it

lands on heads, the game continues with die A; if it lands on tails, then die B is to be used.

(a) Show that the probability of red at any throw is 12

(b) If the first two throws result in red, what is the probability of red at the third throw?

(c) If red turns up at the first two throws, what is the probability

that it is die A that is being used?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(A).The probability of red at any throw is 12

(B).The probability of red at the third gamble if the first two throws result in red is35

(C).The probability that die A is used if red turns up at the first two throws 45

Step by step solution

01

Calculation (Part a)

Given:

It is given that a bones A has 2 white and 4 red faces, and another bones B has 2 red and 4 white faces.

A show is coin is flipped formerly. .

If it lands on heads, the game continues with A.

If it lands on tail, the game continues with B.

Calculation:

Let the events:

A=dieAis chosen

Ac=bones Ais not chosen =dieBis chosen

Qi=ithbones roll result in red

it is known that coin is fair and after flip of coin, the bones is chosen,

P(A)=12

PAc=P(B)=12

If the number of red sides are to be noted down,

For every i,

PQiA=46=23PQiB=26=13

Now,

To calculate the probability of red at any throw,PQi=PQiAP(A)+PQiBP(B)=23×12+13×12=13+16=2+16=36=12

Conclusion:

The probability of red at any throw is 12.

02

 Calculation (Part b)

To calculate the probability of red at the third gamble if the first two gamble result in red,

PQ1Q1Q2=PQ1Q2Q11P(A)+PQ1Q2Q3DP(B)PQ1Q2AP(A)+PQ1Q2AP(B)

So,

PQ1Q2Q2A=PQnAPQ2APQ2A=233=B27PQ1Q2Q3B=PQ1BPQ2BPQ3B=133PQ1O2A=PQ1APQ2A=232=49PQ1O2B=PQ1BPQ2B=232=19

So,

PQhQ1Q2=ππ×12+12×1I4π×12+π4×12

=33+1444+1x

=93316

=934×185

=35

Conclusion:

The probability of red at the third gamble if the first two throws result in red is35

03

Calculation (Part c) 

To calculate the probability that die A is used if red turns up at the first two gamble,

That is,

PAQ1O2

So,

localid="1646729510868" PQ5Q1O2=PQ5QO21PQQ1Q2+PQ5BO1O2PRQ1O2

It is given that Q1,Q2and Q3are independent given A,

It means that PO5AQ1Q2=PQ2A

So,

PQ1Q1O2=PQ4APQQ1Q2PAQ1O2+PQ4RPRQ1(h235=23PAQ1O2+13PRQ1Q2

So,

PBQ1Q2=PA2Q142=1-PAO1O2

So,

35=23PAQhQ2+13PBQhQ235=23PAQ1C2+131-PAQ1(h)35=13+13PAQ1Q213PAQhQ2=35-1313PAQ1Q2=9-51513PAR1R2=415PAQ1O2=415×31PAQ1Qh=45

Conclusion:

The probability that die A is used if red turns up at the first two throws =45

Most popular questions from this chapter

Suppose we have 10 coins such that if the ith coin is flipped, heads will appear with probability i/10, i = 1, 2, ..., 10. When one of the coins is randomly selected and flipped, it shows heads. What is the conditional probability that it was the fifth coin

In Example 3f, suppose that the new evidence is subject to different possible interpretations and in fact shows only that it is 90 percent likely that the criminal possesses the characteristic in question. In this case, how likely would it be that the suspect is guilty (assuming, as before, that he has the characteristic)?

Consider a sample of size 3drawn in the following manner: We start with an urn containing 5white and 7red balls. At each stage, a ball is drawn and its color is noted. The ball is then returned to the urn, along with an additional ball of the same color. Find the probability that the sample will contain exactly

(a) 0white balls;

(b) 1white ball;

(c) 3white balls;

(d) 2white balls.

Genes relating to albinism are denoted by A and a. Only those people who receive the a gene from both parents will be albino. Persons having the gene pair A, a are normal in appearance and, because they can pass on the trait to their offspring, are called carriers. Suppose that a normal couple has two children, exactly one of whom is an albino. Suppose that the non albino child mates with a person who is known to be a carrier for albinism.

(a) What is the probability that their first offspring is an albino?

(b) What is the conditional probability that their second offspring is an albino given that their firstborn is not?

Let S = {1, 2, . . . , n} and suppose that A and B are, independently, equally likely to be any of the 2n subsets (including the null set and S itself) of S.

(a) Show that

P{A ⊂B} =34n

Hint: Let N(B) denote the number of elements in B. Use

P{A ⊂B} =∑i=0nP{A (⊂B|N(B) = i}P{N(B) = i}

Show that P{AB = Ø} =34n
