Rain As the author is creating this exercise, a weather reporter stated that there is a 20% chance of rain tomorrow. What is the probability of no rain tomorrow?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability of no rain tomorrow is 0.8.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The chances that it would rain are 20%.

02

Describe the probability of any event

A value that measures the chances of occurrence of a specific event is termed as the probability corresponding to the event.

For any event E, the probability can be mathematically formulated as:

PE=NumberoffavourableoutcomesTotalnumberofoutcomes

The value of a defined event always lies between 0 to 1.

03

Properties of the probability of an event

The probability value can be obtained from the percentage value by dividing it by 100.

The probability of the event and its complement is always 1.

PE+PE=1

04

Define the event and compute the probability

Consider event A as the event that it rains tomorrow.

Complementary to this, the event that it does not rain tomorrow is satisfied as the occurrence of rain may or may not occur.

Thus, A is defined as the event that there will be no rain tomorrow.

Using the properties, the probability that there will be no rain tomorrow is given as:

PA=1-PA=1-0.20=0.8

Thus, the probability of no rain tomorrow is 0.8.

Probability from a Sample Space. In Exercises 33鈥36, use the given sample space or construct the required sample space to find the indicated probability.

Three Children Using the same sample space and assumption from Exercise 33, find the probability that when a couple has three children, there are exactly two girls.

In Exercises 17鈥20, refer to the accompanying table showing results from a Chembio test for hepatitis C among HIV-infected patients (based on data from a variety of sources).

False Positive Find the probability of selecting a subject with a positive test result, given that the subject does not have hepatitis C. Why is this case problematic for test subjects?

In Exercises 29 and 30, find the probabilities and indicate when the 鈥5% guideline for cumbersome calculations鈥 is used.

Medical Helicopters In a study of helicopter usage and patient survival, results were obtained from 47,637 patients transported by helicopter and 111,874 patients transported by ground (based on data from 鈥淎ssociation Between Helicopter vs Ground Emergency Medical Services and Survival for Adults with Major Trauma,鈥 by Galvagno et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 307, No. 15).

a. If 1 of the 159,511 patients in the study is randomly selected, what is the probability that the subject was transported by helicopter?

b. If 5 of the subjects in the study are randomly selected without replacement, what is the probability that all of them were transported by helicopter

In Exercises 25鈥32, find the probability and answer the questions. XSORT Gender Selection MicroSort鈥檚 XSORT gender selection technique was designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a girl. At one point before clinical trials of the XSORT gender selection technique were discontinued, 945 births consisted of 879 baby girls and 66 baby boys (based on data from the Genetics & IVF Institute). Based on these results, what is the probability of a girl born to a couple using MicroSort鈥檚 XSORT method? Does it appear that the technique is effective in increasing the likelihood that a baby will be a girl?

In Exercises 9鈥12, assume that 50 births are randomly selected. Use subjective judgment to describe the given number of girls as (a) significantly low, (b) significantly high, or (c) neither significantly low nor significantly high.

47 girls.
