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

Use Equation (2.1)to compute in a hand of bridge the conditional probability that East has 3spades given that North and South have a combined total of 8 spades.

Two percent of women age 45 who participate in routine screening have breast cancer. Ninety percent of those with breast cancer have positive mammographies. Eight percent of the women who do not have breast cancer will also have positive mammographies. Given that a woman has positive mammography, what is the probability she has breast cancer?

The color of a person’s eyes is determined by a single pair of genes. If they are both blue-eyed genes, then the person will have blue eyes; if they are both brown-eyed genes, then the person will have brown eyes; and if one of them is a blue-eyed gene and the other a brown-eyed gene, then the person will have brown eyes. (Because of the latter fact, we say that the brown-eyed gene is dominant over the blue-eyed one.) A newborn child independently receives one eye gene from each of its parents, and the gene it receives from a parent is equally likely to be either of the two eye genes of that parent. Suppose that Smith and both of his parents have brown eyes, but Smith’s sister has blue eyes.

(a) What is the probability that Smith possesses a blue eyed gene?

(b) Suppose that Smith’s wife has blue eyes. What is the probability that their first child will have blue eyes?

(c) If their first child has brown eyes, what is the probability that their next child will also have brown eyes?

In a class, there are 4 first-year boys, 6 first-year girls, and 6 sophomore boys. How many sophomore girls must be present if sex and class are to be independent when a student is selected at random?
