Suppose that A and B are events such that P(A)=0.84P(B)=0.46and P(A&D)=0.30Determine P(AorB).

Short Answer

Expert verified

P(A∪B)=0.92

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.  

P(A)=0.84P(B)=0.46P(A&B)=0.38

02

Step 2. Calculate the probability in the following manner.

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)P(A∪B)=0.84+0.46-.0.38P(A∪B)=0.92

Coin Tossing. A balanced dime is tossed three times. The possible outcomes can be represented as follows.

Here, for example. HHT means that the first two tosses come up heads and the third tails. Find the probability that

(a) exactly two of the three tosses come up heads.

(b) the last two tosses come up tails.

(c) all three tosses come up the same.

(d) the second toss comes up heads.

Occupations in Seoul. The population of Seoul was studied in an article by B. Lee and J. McDonald, "Determinants of Commuting Time and Distance for Seoul Residents: The Impact of Family Status on the Commuting of Women" (Urban Studies, Vol. 40, No. 7, pp. 1283-1302). The authors examined the different occupations for males and females in Seoul. The table at the top of the next page is a frequency distribution of occupation type for males taking part in a survey. (Note: M = manufacturing, N = nonmanufacturing.)

If one of these males is selected at random, find the probability that his occupation is

(a) service.

(b) administrative.

(c) manufacturing.

(d) not manufacturing.
