Exclusive Or The exclusive or means either one or the other events occurs, but not both.

a. For the formal addition rule, rewrite the formula for P(A or B) assuming that the addition rule uses the exclusive or instead of the inclusive or.

b. Repeat Exercise 11 鈥淔ast Food Drive-Thru Accuracy鈥 using the exclusive or instead of the inclusive or.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The new formula of PAorBconsidering the exclusive or rule is

PAorB=PA+PB-2PAandB

b. The probability of getting an order from 惭肠顿辞苍补濒诲鈥檚 or getting an accurate order using the exclusive or rule is equal to 0.618.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The formal addition rule of probability uses the inclusive or rule. It is required to transform the formula using the exclusive or rule.

02

Addition rule of probability 

  • Inclusive or: It includes either of the two events and both events.

The formal rule has the following expression:

PAorB=PA+PB-PAandB

This describes the probability of occurrence of either A or B, or both.

  • Exclusive or: It includes either of the two events only, not both.

Under this, the probability of occurrence of either A or B, but not both, needs to be expressed.

03

Express the formula for exclusive or condition

a.

The original formula of additional rule (inclusive or) is as follows:

PAorB=PA+PB-PAandB

Here, the probabilities of events A and B include the event where A and B both occur.

To completely remove the probability of occurrence of both A and B from the expression to make it exclusive or, the following expression is devised:

PAorB=PA+PB-2PAandB

Thus, the new exclusive or additional rule of probability becomes:

PAorB=PA+PB-2PAandB

04

Compute the probability from Exercise 11

b.

The following table is considered for all calculations (as in Exercise 11)

Let E be the event of getting a food order from 惭肠顿辞苍补濒诲鈥檚.

Let F be the event of getting an accurate food order.

The total number of food orders is equal to 1118.

The number of food orders from 惭肠顿辞苍补濒诲鈥檚 is calculated as shown below:

329+33=362

PE=3621118

The number of accurate food orders is calculated as shown below:

329+264+249+145=987

PF=9871118

The number of accurate food orders from 惭肠顿辞苍补濒诲鈥檚 is calculated as shown below:

PEandF=3291118

Now, the probability (E or F) using exclusive or becomes:

PEorF=PE+PF-2PEandF=3621118+9871118-23291118=6911118=0.618

Therefore, the probability of getting a food order from 惭肠顿辞苍补濒诲鈥檚 or getting an accurate food order using the exclusive or rule is equal to 0.618.

Most popular questions from this chapter

In Exercises 25鈥32, find the probability and answer the questions.

X-Linked Genetic Disease Men have XY (or YX) chromosomes and women have XX chromosomes. X-linked recessive genetic diseases (such as juvenile retinoschisis) occur when there is a defective X chromosome that occurs without a paired X chromosome that is not defective. In the following, represent a defective X chromosome with lowercase x, so a child with the xY or Yx pair of chromosomes will have the disease and a child with XX or XY or YX or xX or Xx will not have the disease. Each parent contributes one of the chromosomes to the child.

a. If a father has the defective x chromosome and the mother has good XX chromosomes, what is the probability that a son will inherit the disease?

b. If a father has the defective x chromosome and the mother has good XX chromosomes, what is the probability that a daughter will inherit the disease? c. If a mother has one defective x chromosome and one good X chromosome and the father has good XY chromosomes, what is the probability that a son will inherit the disease?

d. If a mother has one defective x chromosome and one good X chromosome and the father has good XY chromosomes, what is the probability that a daughter will inherit the disease?

At Least One. In Exercises 5鈥12, find the probability.

Three Girls Find the probability that when a couple has three children, at least one of them is a girl. (Assume that boys and girls are equally likely.)

Denomination Effect. In Exercises 13鈥16, use the data in the following table. In an experiment to study the effects of using four quarters or a \(1 bill, college students were given either four quarters or a \)1 bill and they could either keep the money or spend it on gum. The results are summarized in the table (based on data from 鈥淭he Denomination Effect,鈥 by Priya Raghubir and Joydeep Srivastava, Journal of Consumer Research, Vol. 36).

a. Find the probability of randomly selecting a student who spent the money, given that the student was given four quarters.

b. Find the probability of randomly selecting a student who kept the money, given that the student was given four quarters.

c. What do the preceding results suggest?

In Exercises 21鈥24, refer to the sample data in Table 4-1, which is included with the Chapter Problem. Assume that 1 of the 555 subjects included in Table 4-1 is randomly selected.

Drug Testing Job Applicants Find the probability of selecting someone who does not use drugs. Does the result appear to be reasonable as an estimate of the proportion of the adult population that does not use drugs?

At Least One. In Exercises 5鈥12, find the probability.

Births in China In China, where many couples were allowed to have only one child, the probability of a baby being a boy was 0.545. Among six randomly selected births in China, what is the probability that at least one of them is a girl? Could this system continue to work indefinitely? (Phasing out of this policy was begun in 2015.)
