The accompanying dartboard is a square whose sides are of length 6.

The three circles are all centered at the center of the board and are of radii 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Darts landing within the circle of radius 1 score 30 points, those landing outside this circle, but within the circle of radius 2, are worth 20 points, and those landing outside the circle of radius 2, but within the circle of radius 3, are worth 10 points. Darts that do not land within the circle of radius 3 do not score any points. Assuming that each dart that you throw will, independently of what occurred on your previous throws, land on a point uniformly distributed in the square, find the probabilities of the accompanying events:

(a) You score 20 on a throw of the dart.

(b) You score at least 20 on a throw of the dart.

(c) You score 0 on a throw of the dart.

(d) The expected value of your score on a throw of the dart.

(e) Both of your first two throws score at least 10.

(f) Your total score after two throws is 30.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) For scoring 20 isP=13

b) For scoring at least 20 isP=23

c) For scoring zero is 0

d) Expected value of the score is 20

e) For scoring at least 10 is P=23

f) The score of 30 after 2 throws isP=29

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) - Step 1: To find

The probability of scoring 20 on a throw of the dart.

02

Part (a) - Step 2: Explanation

Given: Three circles, each with a radius of 1,2,3, are located in the centre of a board.

The circle of radius 1 scoring points =30.

The circle of radius 2 scoring points =20.

The circle of radius 3 scoring points =10.

Calculation:

P(1)=13,P(2)=13,P(3)=13

Let A}be the score 20 on a throw of a dart P(A)=13

03

Part (b) - Step 3: To find

The probability of scoring at least 20 on a throw of the dart.

04

Part (b) - Step 4: Explanation

Given : P(1)=13,P(2)=13,P(3)=13

Calculation:

Let B be the score at least 20 on a throw of a dart

P(B)=P(2)+P(3)=13+13P(B)=23

05

Part (c) - Step 5: To find

The probability of scoring 0 on a throw of a dart.

06

Part(c) - Step 6: Explanation

Given: P(1)=13,P(2)=13,P(3)=13

Calculation:

Let C be the score 0 on a throw of a dart

P(C)=03=0

07

Part (d) - Step 7: To find

The expected value of a score on a throw of a dart.

08

Part (d) - Step 8: Explanation

Given: P(1)=13,P(2)=13,P(3)=13

Calculation:

Let D be the expected value of a score on a throw of a dart

E(D)=sum of total pointsnumber of throw=10+20+303=603=20

Hence E(D)=20

09

Part (e) - Step 9: To find

The first two throw score at least 10 .

10

Part (d) - Step 10: Explanation

Given: P(1)=13,P(2)=13,P(3)=13

Calculation: Let E be first two throw score at least 10 .
P(E)=(P(1)P(2))+(P(1)P(3))+(P(2)P(1))+(P(2)P(3))+(P(3)P(1))+(P(3)P(2))+(P(1)P(0))+(P(3)P(0))+(P(2)P(0)+(P(0)P(3))+(P(0)P(2))+(P(0)P(1))=13×13+13×13+13×13+13×13+13×13+13×13+13×0)+13×0+13+0+13×0+13×0+13×0=19+19+19+19+19+19+0+0+0+0+0+0=69=23

Hence P(E)=23

11

Part (f) - Step 11: To find

To calculate total score after two throw is 30.

12

Part (f) - Step 12: Explanation

Given :P(1)=13,P(2)=13,P(3)=13

Calculation: Let F be the score after two throw 30

P(F)=(P(1)P(2))+(P(3)+P(0))+(P(2)P(1))+(P(0)+P(3))=13×13+13×0+13×13+13×0=19+0+19+0=29

HenceP(F)=29

An ambulance travels back and forth at a constant speed along a road of length L. At a certain moment of time, an accident occurs at a point uniformly distributed on the road. [That is, the distance of the point from one of the fixed ends of the road is uniformly distributed over (0, L).] Assuming that the ambulance’s location at the moment of the accident is also uniformly distributed, and assuming independence of the variables, compute the distribution of the distance of the ambulance from the accident.

Derive the distribution of the range of a sample of size 2 from a distribution having density function f(x)=2x,0<x<1.

A model proposed for NBA basketball supposes that when two teams with roughly the same record play each other, the number of points scored in a quarter by the home team minus the number scored by the visiting team is approximately a normal random variable with mean 1.5 and variance 6. In addition, the model supposes that the point differentials for the four quarters are independent. Assume that this model is correct.

(a) What is the probability that the home team wins?

(b) What is the conditional probability that the home team wins, given that it is behind by 5 points at halftime?

(c) What is the conditional probability that the home team wins, given that it is ahead by 5 points at the end of the first quarter?
