Two eards are randomly selected from a deck of 52 playing cards. (a) What is the probability they constitute a pair (that is, that they are of the same denomination)? (b) What is the conditional probability they constitute a pair given that they are of different suits?
An urn contains \(b\) black balls and \(r\) red balls. One of the balls is drawn at random, but when it is put back in the urn \(c\) additional balls of the same color are put in with it. Now suppose that we draw another ball. Show that the probability that the first ball drawn was black given that the second ball drawn was red is \(b /(b+r+c)\).
A coin is to be tossed until a head appears twice in a row. What is the sample space for this experiment? If the coin is fair, then what is the probability that it will be tossed exactly four times?
In a certain species of rats, black dominates over brown. Suppose that a black rat with two black parents has a brown sibling. (a) What is the probability that this rat is a pure black rat (as opposed to being a hybrid with one black and one brown gene)? (b) Suppose that when the black rat is mated with a brown rat, all five of their offspring are black. Now, what is the probability that the rat is a pure black rat?
Let \(E, F, G\) be three events. Find expressions for the events that of \(E, F, G\) (a) only \(F\) occurs, (b) both \(E\) and \(F\) but not \(G\) occurs, (c) at least one event occurs, (d) at least two events occur, (c) all three events occur, (f) none occurs, (g) at most one occurs, (h) at most two occur.
