Chapter 3: Q. 111 (page 228)

Use the following information to answer the next two exercises. The table of data obtained from www.baseball-almanac.com shows hit information for four well known baseball players. Suppose that one hit from the table is randomly selected.

Find P(hit was made by Ty Cobb|The hit was a Home Run).

a.418912351

b.1141720

C.17204189

d.11412351

Short Answer

Expert verified

Probability is17204189,option c is correct.

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

Probability of total hits by Ty Cobb is 4189.

Probability of hit was a home run is 1720.

02

Calculation for probability

Probability is,

P(hitwasmadebyTyCobb|ThehitwasaHomerun)=totalhitofTyCobbTotalhitofhomerun

=17204189

Three professors at George Washington University did an experiment to determine if economists are more selfish than other people. They dropped 64stamped, addressed envelopes with $10cash in different classrooms on the George Washington campus. 44%were returned overall. From the economics classes 56%of the envelopes were returned. From the business, psychology, and history classes 31%were returned.

Let:R = money returned;E = economics classes; O = other classes

a. Write a probability statement for the overall percent of money returned.

b. Write a probability statement for the percent of money returned out of the economics classes.

c. Write a probability statement for the percent of money returned out of the other classes.

d. Is money being returned independent of the class? Justify your answer numerically and explain it.

e. Based upon this study, do you think that economists are more selfish than other people? Explain why or why not. Include numbers to justify your answer.

Write the symbols for the probability that a player is an infielder or is not a great hitter.

Let event A = learning Spanish. Let event B = learning German. Then A AND B = learning Spanish and German.Suppose P(A) = 0.4 and P(B) = 0.2. P(A AND B) = 0.08. Are events A and B independent? Hint: You must show ONE of the following:

鈥� P(A|B) = P(A)

鈥� P(B|A) = P(B)

鈥� P(A AND B) = P(A)P(B)

A box is filled with several party favors. It contains 12

hats, 15 noisemakers, ten finger traps, and five bags of confetti.

Let H = the event of getting a hat.

Let N = the event of getting a noisemaker.

Let F = the event of getting a finger trap.

Let C = the event of getting a bag of confetti.

Find P(C).
