A box has two balls, one white and one red. We select one ball, put it back in the box, and select a second ball (sampling with replacement). Let T be the event of getting the white ball twice, F the event of picking the white ball first, S the event of picking the white ball in the second drawing.

a. Compute P(T).

b. Compute P(T|F).

c. Are T and F independent?.

d. Are F and S mutually exclusive?

e. Are F and S independent?

Use the following information to answer the next two exercises. You are rolling a fair, six-sided number cube. Let E = the event that it lands on an even number. Let M = the event that it lands on a multiple of three.

What does P(E|M) mean in words?

Use the following information to answer the next four exercises. Table 3.15shows a random sample of musicians and how they learned to play their instruments.

Are the events 鈥渂eing a female musician鈥� and 鈥渓earning music in school鈥� mutually exclusive events?

Answer these questions using probability rules. Do NOT use the contingency table. Three thousand fifty-nine cases of AIDS had been reported in Santa Clara County, CA, through a certain date. Those cases will be our population. Of those cases, 6.4% obtained the disease through heterosexual contact and 7.4% are female. Out of the females with the disease, 53.3% got the disease from heterosexual contact.

a. Find P(Person is female).

b. Find P(Person obtained the disease through heterosexual contact).

c. Find P(Person is female GIVEN person got the disease from heterosexual contact)

d. Construct a Venn diagram representing this situation. Make one group females and the other group heterosexual contact. Fill in all values as probabilities.

Use the following information to answer the next six exercises. There are 23 countries in North America, 12 countries in South America, 47 countries in Europe, 44 countries in Asia, 54 countries in Africa, and 14 in Oceania (Pacific Ocean

region).

Let A = the event that a country is in Asia.

Let E = the event that a country is in Europe.

Let F = the event that a country is in Africa.

Let N = the event that a country is in North America.

Let O = the event that a country is in Oceania.

Let S = the event that a country is in South America.

Find P(N).
