Craps. In the game of craps, a player rolls two balanced dice. thirty six equally likely outcome are possible.

A = event the sum of the dice is 7

B = event the sum of the dice is 11

C = event the sum of the dice is 2

D = event the sum of the dice is 3

E = event the sum of the dice is 12

F = event the sum of the dice is 8

G = event double are rolled.

Part (a) Compute the probability of each of the seven events.

Part (b) The player wins on the first roll if the sum of the dice 2,3 or 12. Find the probability of that event by using the special addition rule and your answer from part (a).

Part (c) The player loses on the first roll if the sum of the dice 7 or 11. Find the probability of that event by using the special addition rule and your answer from part (a).

Part (d) Compute the probability that either the sum of the dice is 8 or double are rolled without using the general addition rule.

Part (e) Compute the probability that either the sum of the dice is 8 or double are rolled without using the general addition rule. and compare your answer to the you obtained in part (d)

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

A = event the sum of the dice is 7

B = event the sum of the dice is 11

C = event the sum of the dice is 2

D = event the sum of the dice is 3

E = event the sum of the dice is 12

F = event the sum of the dice is 8

G = event double are rolled.

02

Part (a) Step 2.  Compute the probability of each the seven events.

Let A be the occurrence in which the sum of the dice equals 7.

(1,6),(2,5),(3,4),(4,3),(5,2),(6,1) is the sample space for event.

There are six favourable scenarios for occurrence A.

The likelihood of incident A is,

P(A)=P(A)NP(A)=636P(A)=16P(A)=0.167

Let B be the occurrence in which the sum of the dice equals 11.

(5,6),(6,5) is the sample space for event.

There are two favourable scenarios for occurrence B.

The likelihood of incident B is

P(B)=P(B)NP(B)=236P(B)=118P(B)=0.056

Let C be the occurrence in which the sum of the dice equals 2.

(1,1) is the sample space for event.

There are one favourable scenarios for occurrence C.

The likelihood of incident C is

P(C)=P(C)NP(C)=136P(C)=0.028

Let D be the occurrence in which the sum of the dice equals 3.

(1,2),(2,1) is the sample space for event.

There are two favourable scenarios for occurrence D.

The likelihood of incident D is

P(D)=P(D)NP(D)=236P(D)=0.056

Let E be the occurrence in which the sum of the dice equals 12.

(6,6) is the sample space for event.

There are one favourable scenarios for occurrence E.

The likelihood of incident E is

P(E)=P(E)NP(E)=136P(E)=0.028

Let F be the occurrence in which the sum of the dice equals 8.

(6,2), (2,6), (4,4),(5,3),(3,5) is the sample space for event.

There are one favourable scenarios for occurrence F.

The likelihood of incident F is

P(F)=P(F)NP(F)=536P(F)=0.139

Let G be the event of the double roll dice = 8.

The sample space for event G is {(1,l),(2,2).(3,3),(4,4),(S,S),(6,6)}.

The number of favorable cases for event G is 5.

The probability of event G is,

P(G)=P(G)NP(G)=636P(G)=0.167

03

Part (b) Step 1. Determine whether the sum of the dice is 7 or 11.

The sum of the dice has a probability of 7 = 0.167.

The sum of the dice has a probability of 11 = 0.056.

The probability of the sum of the dice being 7 or 11 are,

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)P(A∪B)=0.167+0.056P(A∪B)=0.223

As a result, 0.223 is the required probability.

04

Part (c) Step 1. Determine whether the sum of the dice is 2,3 or 12.

The sum of the dice has a probability of 2 = 0.028.

The sum of the dice has a probability of 3 = 0.056.

The sum of the dice has a probability of 11 = 0.056.

The probability of the sum of the dice being 2, 3 or 11 are,

P(C∪D∪B)=P(C)+P(D)+P(B)P(C∪D∪B)=0.028+0.056+0.028P(C∪D∪B)=0.112

As a result, 0.112 is the required probability.

05

Part (d) Step 1. probability that the sum of the dice will be 8 or that doubles will be rolled.

Let F be the occurrence in which the sum of the dice equals 8.

Assume that G is the event in which doubles are rolled.

For event F or G, the sample space is

(2,6),(3,5),(6,2),(5,3),(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(5,5),(6,6)

There are ten cases that are favourable.

If the total of the dice is 8, or if doubles are thrown, the probability is

P(F∪G)=N(F∪G)NP(F∪G)=1036P(F∪G)=0.278

06

Part (e) Step 1. probability that the sum of the dice will be 8 or that doubles will be rolled.

Let F be the occurrence in which the sum of the dice equals 8.

Assume that G is the event in which doubles are rolled.

The following are the probability values:

P(F)=536P(G)=136P(F∩G)=136

The probability of rolling an 8 of doubles on either side of the dice is

P(F∪G)=P(F)+P(G)-P(F∩G)P(F∪G)=536+16-136P(F∪G)=1036P(F∪G)=0.278

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.

Bilingual and Trilingual. At a certain university in the United States, 62 % of the students are at least bilingual - speaking English and at least one other language. Of these students, 80 % speak Spanish and, of the 80 % who speak Spanish, 10 % also speak French. Determine the probability that a randomly selected student at this university

(a) does not speak Spanish.

(b) speaks Spanish and French.

Suppose that a simple random sample is taken from a finite population in which each member is classified as either having or not having a specified attribute. Fill in the following blanks.

(a) If sampling is with replacement, the probability distribution of the number of members sampled that have the specified attribute is a distribution.

(b) If sampling is without replacement, the probability distribution of the number of members sampled that have the specified attribute is a distribution.

(c) If sampling is without replacement and the sample size does not exceed % of the population size, the probability distribution of the number of members sampled that have the specified attribute can be approximated by a distribution.
