Jurors. From 10 men and 8 women in a pool of potential jurors 12 are chosen at random to constitute a jury. Suppose that you observe the number of men who are chosen for the jury. Let A be the event that at least half of the 12 jurors are men, and let B be the event that at least half of the 8 women are on the jury.
Part (a) Determine the sample space for this experiment
Part (b) Find (A or B) ,(A & B) and (A &(not B)), listing all the outcomes for each of those three events
Part (c) Are events A and B are mutually exclusive.? are events A and (not B)? are events (not A) and (not B)? Explain.
Playing Cards. An ordinary deck of playing cards has 52 cards. There are four suits-spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs- with 13 cards in each suit. Spades and clubs are black; hearts and diamonds are red. If one of these cards is selected at random, what is the probability that it is
(a). a spade? (b). red? (c). not a club?
In Exercise 5.129 - 5.132, We have provided the probability distributions of the random variables considered in Exercise 5.109 - 5.112 of section 5.4 For each exercise, do the following tasks.
Part (a) Find the mean of the random variable.
Part (b) Obtain the standard deviation of the random variable by using one of the formulas given in definition 5.10.

Under what three conditions are repeated trials of an experiment called Bernoulli trials?
The probability is 0.667 that the favorite in a horse race will finish in the money (first, second, or third place). In 500 horse races, roughly how many times will the favorite finish in the money?
