Wild Card Lottery The Wild Card lottery is run in the states of Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. You must select five different numbers between 1 and 33, then you must select one of the picture cards (Ace, King, Queen, Jack), and then you must select one of the four suits (club, heart, diamond, spade). Express all answers as fractions.

a. What is the probability of selecting the correct five numbers between 1 and 33?

b. What is the probability of selecting the correct picture card?

c. What is the probability of selecting the correct suit?

d. What is the probability of selecting the correct five numbers, the correct picture card, and the correct suit?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The probability of selecting the correct five numbers is 1237,336 .

b. The probability of selecting the correct picture card is 14 .

c. The probability of selecting the correct suit is 14 .

d. The probability of selecting the correct five numbers, the correct picture card, and, the correct suit is 13,797,376 .

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Fiver numbers are to be selected from 1 to 33.

One each from picture cards and suit cards is to be selected from four.

02

Define the probability of an event

The probability of an event is defined as:

PA=NumberoffavorableoutcomesTotalnumberofoutcomes

Favorable outcomes would support the occurrence of event A out of the total number of outcomes.

03

Define combination 

Combination is the measure to compute the number of ways to pick a certain number of items from a set of values.

The formula to select r items from n using the combination rule is:

Crn=n!n-r!r!

04

Compute the probability of the correct five numbers

a.

The number of ways in which five numbers can be chosen from 1 to 33 is:

33C5=33!33-5!5!=237336

Thus, the number of ways to pick five number cards from 1 to 33 is 237336.

The number of correct combinations is 1.

The probability of event E, i.e., selecting the correct five numbers from 1 to 33 is:

PE=1237336

Thus, the probability of selecting the correct five numbers is 1237336 .

05

Compute the probability of correct picture card

b.

The number of cards that is correct is 1.

The total number of picture cards is 4.

The probability of event F, i.e., selecting the correct picture card is:

PF=14

Thus, the probability of selecting the correct picture card is 14.

06

Compute the probability of the correct suit card

c.

The number of suit cards that are correct is 1.

The total number of suit cards is 4.

The probability of event G, i.e., selecting the correct suit card is:

PG=14

Thus, the probability of selecting the correct suit card is 14.

07

 Step 7: Compute the probability of the occurrence of all events together

d.

When multiple events occur together, the probability of co-occurrence is computed as the product of all these events. This is stated as the multiplication rule.

The probability of selecting a five number card, picture card, and suit card is computed as follows:

PEandFandG=PEPFPG=12373361414=13797376

Thus, the probability of selecting a five number card, picture card, and suit card is 13797376.

a. = (0.95)(0.95)(0.95) = 0.857

b. P(A) = 1 - (0.95)(0.95)(0.95) = 0.143

Predicting Gender A study addressed the issue of whether pregnant women can correctly predict the gender of their baby. Among 104 pregnant women, 57 correctly predicted the gender of their baby (based on data from 鈥淎re Women Carrying 鈥楤asketballs鈥. . . ,鈥 by Perry, DiPietro, Constigan, Birth, Vol. 26, No. 3). If pregnant women have no such ability, there is a 0.327 probability of getting such sample results by chance. What do you conclude?
