For one of these series selected at random.

A = event that the NBA Finals was decided in five games

B = event that the NBA Finals was decided in at most five games

C = event that the NBA Finals was decided in at least five games

Describe the following event in words, and determine the number of outcome (NBA Finals) that constitute each event.

Part (a) (B & C)

Part (b) (B or C)

Part (c) (not A)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) Number of outcomes=15

Part (b) Number of outcomes=63

Part (c) Number of outcomes=48

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

From 1950 through 2012, the number of NBA finals series decided in four, five, six, or seven games is listed in the table below:

GamesFrequency
48
515
624
716

A = event that the NBA Finals was decided in five games

B = event that the NBA Finals was decided in at most five games

C = event that the NBA Finals was decided in at least five games

02

Part (a) Step 2.  In words, the event (B & C) and the number of outcomes that make up the event.

(B & C) refers to the NBA finals, which were determined in five games.

Number of outcome.

(B&C)=15

03

Part (b) Step 1. Given information.

From 1950 through 2012, the number of NBA finals series decided in four, five, six, or seven games is listed in the table below:

GamesFrequency
48
515
624
716

A = event that the NBA Finals was decided in five games

B = event that the NBA Finals was decided in at most five games

C = event that the NBA Finals was decided in at least five games

04

Part (b) Step 2.  In words, the event (B & C) and the number of outcomes that make up the event.

The NBA Finals were decided in four, five, six, or seven games (B OR C).

Number of outcome

(BorC)=8+15+24+16(BorC)=63

05

Part (c) Step 1. Given information.

From 1950 through 2012, the number of NBA finals series decided in four, five, six, or seven games is listed in the table below:

GamesFrequency
48
515
624
716

A = event that the NBA Finals was decided in five games

B = event that the NBA Finals was decided in at most five games

C = event that the NBA Finals was decided in at least five games

06

Part (c) Step 2.  In words, the event (not A) and the number of outcomes that make up the event.

The NBA Finals were determined in four, six, or seven games (not A).

Number of outcome

(notA)=8+24+16(notA)=48

Coin Tossing. When a dime is tossed four times , there are the following 16 possible outcomes.

Here, for example, HTTH represents the outcomes that the first toss is heads, the next two tosses are tails, and the fourth toss is heads. List the outcomes constituting each of the following four events.

A = event exactly two heads are tossed,

B = event the first two tosses are tails,

C = event the first toss is heads,

D = event all four tosses come up the same.

Oklahoma State Officials. Refer to Table 5.1 on page 196.

(a). List the possible samples without replacement of size 3 that can be obtained from the population of five officials. (Hint: There are 10 possible samples.)

If a simple random sample without replacement of three officials is taken from the five officials, determine the probability that

(b). the governor, attorney general, and treasurer are obtained.

(c). the governor and treasurer are included in the sample.

(d). the governor is included in the sample.

Suppose that A, B, C are three events that cannot all occur simultaneously. Does this condition necessarily imply that A, B, and C are mutually exclusive ? Justify your answer and illustrate it with a venn diagram.

An experiment has 20 possible outcomes, all equally likely. An event can occur in five ways. The probability that the event occurs is .
