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.

Short Answer

(a) the probability that the sample will contain exactly 0white ball is 313.

(b) The probability that the sample will contain exactly 1white ball is 513.

(c) The probability that the sample will contain exactly 3white ball is 552.

(d) The probability that the sample will contain exactly 2white ball is 1552.

Step by step solution

01

Given information (Part a)

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.

Condition is0white ball.

R is red ball

W is white ball

02

Solution (Part a)

The solution is given below,

0white(R,R,R)

p=712813914

=313

03

Final answer (Part a)

The probability that the sample will contain exactly0white ball is313.

04

Given information (part b)

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.

Condition is 1white ball.

R is red ball

W is white ball

05

Solution (Part b)

The solution is given below,

1White(W,R,R)+(R,W,R)+(R,R,W)

p=512713814+712513814+712813514

=3512713814

=513

06

Final answer (Part b)

The probability that the sample will contain exactly1white ball is513.

07

Given information (Part c)

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.

Condition is 3white balls.

R is red ball

W is white ball

08

Solution (Part c)

The solution is given below,

3White(W,W,W)

p=512613714

=552

09

Final answer (Part c)

The probability that the sample will contain exactly3white ball is552.

10

Given information (Part d)

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.

Condition is 2white balls

R is red ball

W is white ball

11

Solution (Part d)

The solution is given below,

2white balls

(W,W,R)+(W,R,W)+(R,W,W)

p=512613714+512713614+712513614

=3512613714

=1552

12

Final answer (Part d)

The probability that the sample will contain exactly 2 white ball is 1552.

The probability of the closing of the ith relay in the circuits shown in Figure 3.4 is given by pi,i=1,2,3,4,5. If all relays function independently, what is the probability that a current flows between A and B for the respective circuits?

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)?

Suppose that an ordinary deck of 52cards is shuffled and the cards are then turned over one at a time until the first ace appears. Given that the first ace is the role="math" localid="1647784076635" 20thcard to appear, what is the conditional probability that the card following it is the

  1. ace of spades?
  2. two of the clubs?

Aand Bare involved in a duel. The rules of the duel are that they are to pick up their guns and shoot at each other simultaneously. If one or both are hit, then the duel is over. If both shots miss, then they repeat the process. Suppose that the results of the shots are independent and that each shot of Awill hit Bwith probability pA, and each shot of Bwill hit Awith probability pB. What is

(a) the probability that Ais not hit?

(b) the probability that both duelists are hit? (c) the probability that the duel ends after the nth round of shots

(d) the conditional probability that the duel ends after the nth round of shots given that Ais not hit?

(e) the conditional probability that the duel ends after the nth round of shots given that both duelists are hit?

Fifty-two percent of the students at a certain college are females. Five percent of the students in this college are majoring in computer science. Two percent of the students are women majoring in computer science. If a student is selected at random, 铿乶d the conditional probability that
