Chapter 5: Q 5.86. (page 216)

Suppose that A and B are events such that P(A)=14,P(B)=13and P(AorB)=12

Part (a). Are event A and B mutually exclusive ? Explain your answer.

Part (b) FindP(A&B)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) Aand Bare not mutually exclusive because Aand Bare not zero.

Part (b)P(A&B)=112

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.  

P(A)=14P(B)=13P(A&B)=12

02

Part (a) Step 2. The following concept was used:

P(A鈭�B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A鈭�B)12=14+13-P(A鈭�B)P(A鈭�B)=712-12P(A鈭�B)=112

Aand Bare not mutually exclusive because A and B are not zero.

03

Part (b) Step 1. Given information.  

P(A)=14P(B)=13P(A&B)=12

04

Part (b) Step 2. The following concept was used:

P(A鈭�B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A鈭�B)12=14+13-P(A鈭�B)P(A鈭�B)=712-12P(A鈭�B)=112

Traffic Fatalities and Intoxication. The National Safety Council publishes information about automobile accidents in Accident Facts. According to that document, the probability is 0.40 that a traffic fatality will involve an intoxicated or alcohol-impaired driver or nonoccupant. In eight traffic fatalities, find the probability that the number,Y, that involve an intoxicated or alcohol-impaired driver or nonoccupant is

(a) exactly three; at least three; at most three.

(b) between two and four, inclusive.

(c) Find and interpret the mean of the random variable Y.

(d) Obtain the standard deviation of Y.

Craps. The game of craps is played by rolling two balanced dice. A first roll of a sum of 7 or 11 wins; and a first roll of a sum of 2,3 , or 12 loses. To win with any other first sum, that sum must be repeated before a sum of 7 is thrown. It can be shown that the probability is 0.493 that a player wins a game of craps. Suppose we consider a win by a player to be a success, s

a. Identify the success probability, p

b. Construct a table showing the possible win-lose results and their probabilities for three games of craps. Round each probability to three decimal places.

c. Draw a tree diagram for part (b).

d. List the outcomes in which the player wins exactly two out of three times.

e. Determine the probability of each of the outcomes in part (d). Explain why those probabilities are equal.

f. Find the probability that the player wins exactly two out of three times.

g. Without using the binomial probability formula, obtain the probability distribution of the random variable Y, the number of times out of three that the player wins.

h. Identify the probability distribution in part (g).

Evaluating Investments. An investor plans to put $50.000 in one of four investments. The return on each investment depends on whether next year's economy is strong or weak. The following table summarizes the possible payoffs. in dollars for the four investments.

Let V, W, X and Y denotes the payoffs for the certificate or deposit office complex, land speculation. and technical school, respectively the V, W, X and Y are random variables . assume that nest year's economy has a 40% chance of being strong and a 60% chance of being weak.

Part(a) Find the probability distribution of each random variable V, W, X, and Y

Part (b) Determine the expected value of each random variable.

Part (c) Which investment has the best expected payoffs? the worst?

Part (d) Which investment would you select? Explain

In Exercises 5.16-5.26, express your probability answers as a decimal rounded to three places.

Housing Units. The U.S. Census Bureau publishes data on housing units in American Housing Survey for the United States. The following table provides a frequency distribution for the number of rooms in U.S. housing units. The frequencies are in thousands.

A housing unit is selected at random. Find the probability that the housing unit obtained has

(a) four rooms.

(b) more than four rooms.

(c) one or two rooms.

(d) fewer than one room.

(e) one or more rooms.

Die and coin. Consider the following random experiment : First , roll a die and observe the number of dots facing up: then toss a coin the number of times that the die shows and observe the total number of heads. Thus , if the die shows three dots facing up and the coin (which is then tossed tree times) comes up heads exactly twice, then the outcome of the experiment can be represent as (3,2).

Part (a) Determine a sample space for this experiment.

Part (b) Determine the events that the total number of heads is even.
