A red die, a blue die, and a yellow die (all six sided) are rolled. We are interested in the probability that the number appearing on the blue die is less than that appearing on the yellow die, which is less than that appearing on the red die. That is, with B, Y, and R denoting, respectively, the number appearing on the blue, yellow, and red die, we are interested in P(B < Y < R).

(a) What is the probability that no two of the dice land on the same number?

(b) Given that no two of the dice land on the same number, what is the conditional probability that B < Y < R?

(c) What is P(B < Y < R)?

a.Probability that no two dice have same outcome=59=0.55

role="math" localid="1647620052349" b.Probability that value of blue die is less than value of yellow die islessthanvalue of red die=554=0.092

c.Probability that value of blue die is less than value of yellow die is lessthan value of red die=554=0.092

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Three 6-sided, a blue, a yellow, a red dices are given.

The value on the blue dice is less than the value on the yellow dice is less than the value on the red dice.

02

Formula used

Number of ways of selectingrdistinct objects out ofpdistinct objects ispr

Number of ways of arrangingrdistinct objects isr!

Probability of an event with discrete outcomes=Number of favorable outcomesNumber of total outcomes

03

Calculation (Part a)

Sample space is all the possible combinations of values on three dice 63=216

For no two values to be equal, selecting the value on the first dice in 61ways, then selecting the value for the second dice in 51ways and selecting value for the third dice in 41ways.

Hence, total number of possible outcomes so that no two values of dice are equal 6×5×4

Probability that no two dice are equal=6×5×463=59=0.55

A total of 46 percent of the voters in a certain city classify themselves as Independents, whereas 30 percent classify themselves as Liberals and 24 percent say that they are Conservatives. In a recent local election, 35 percent of the Independents, 62 percent of the Liberals, and 58 percent of the Conservatives voted. A voter is chosen at random. Given that this person voted in the local election, what is the probability that he or she is

(a) an Independent?

(b) a Liberal?

(c) a Conservative?

(d) What percent of voters participated in the local election?

A simplified model for the movement of the price of a stock supposes that on each day the stock’s price either moves up 1unit with probabilitypor moves down 1unit with probability 1−p.The changes on different days are assumed to be independent.

(a) What is the probability that after2days the stock will be at its original price?

(b) What is the probability that after 3days the stock’s price will have increased by 1 unit?

(c) Given that after 3days the stock’s price has increased by 1 unit, what is the probability that it went up on the first day?

Consider3urns. An urn Acontains2white and 4red balls, an urn Bcontains 8white and 4 red balls and urn Ccontains 1white and 3red balls. If 1ball is selected from each urn, what is the probability that the ball chosen from urn Awas white given that exactly 2white balls were selected?

A ball is in any one of nboxes and is in the ith box with probability Pi. If the ball is in box i, a search of that box will uncover it with probability αi. Show that the conditional probability that the ball is in box j, given that a search of box idid not uncover it, is

Pj1-αiPiifj≠i

1-αiPi1-αiPiifj=i
