\(B \cup C = \left\{ {FFFF,VVVV,FFFV,FFVF,FVFF,VFFF,FFFF} \right\}\)

\(B \cap C = \left\{ {FFFF} \right\}\)

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Each of a sample of four home mortgages is classified as fixed-rate (F) or variable rate (V).

02

List of the possible outcomes in sample space.

a.

The possible 16 outcomes in S is given as,

\(S = \left\{ {FVVV,VFVV,VVFV,VVVF,FFFF,FFFV,FFVF,FVFF,VFFF,VVFF,FFVV,FVFV,VFVF,VVVV,VFFV,FVVF} \right\}\)

03

List of the possible outcomes

b.

Let A represents the event that that exactly three of the selected mortgages are fixed.

The event A includes exactly 3 F鈥檚 included in the sample of four mortgages.

The outcomes of the event that exactly three of the selected mortgages are fixed is given as,

\(A = \left\{ {FFFV,FFVF,FVFF,VFFF} \right\}\)

04

List of the possible outcomes

c.

Let B represents the event that all four mortgages are of the same types.

The event B includes all 4 F鈥檚 and all four V鈥檚.

The outcomes of the event that all four mortgages are of the same types is given as,

\(B = \left\{ {FFFF,VVVV} \right\}\)

05

List of the possible outcomes

d.

Let C represents the event that at most one of the four is a variable-rate mortgage.

The outcomes of the event that at most one of the four is a variable-rate mortgage is given as,

\(C = \left\{ {FFFV,FFVF,FVFF,VFFF,FFFF} \right\}\)

06

List of the possible outcomes in union and intersection

e.

A union of two events B and C consists of all the outcomes that are either in B or C or in both events.

Referring to part c and d, the two events are,

\(B = \left\{ {FFFF,VVVV} \right\}\)

\(C = \left\{ {FFFV,FFVF,FVFF,VFFF,FFFF} \right\}\)

The union of events is represented as,

\(B \cup C = \left\{ {FFFF,VVVV,FFFV,FFVF,FVFF,VFFF,FFFF} \right\}\)

The intersection of two events B and C consists of all the outcomes that are present in both events.

The intersection of the events is represented as,

\(B \cap C = \left\{ {FFFF} \right\}\)

07

List of the possible outcomes in union and intersection

f.

A union of two events A and B consists of all the outcomes that are either in A or C or in both events.

Referring to part b and c, the two events are,

\(A = \left\{ {FFFV,FFVF,FVFF,VFFF} \right\}\)

\(B = \left\{ {FFFF,VVVV} \right\}\)

The union of events is represented as,

\(A \cup B = \left\{ {FFFV,FFVF,FVFF,VFFF,FFFF,VVVV} \right\}\)

The intersection of two events A and B consists of all the outcomes that are present in both events.

The intersection of the events is represented as,

\(A \cap B = \phi \)

Therefore, there are no outcomes for the intersection of the events A and B.

Human visual inspection of solder joints on printed circuit boards can be very subjective. Part of the problem stems from the numerous types of solder defects (e.g., pad non wetting, knee visibility, voids) and even the degree to which a joint possesses one or more of these defects. Consequently, even highly trained inspectors can disagree on the disposition of a particular joint. In one batch of 10,000 joints, inspector A found 724 that were judged defective, inspector B found 751 such joints, and 1159 of the joints were judged defective by at least one of the inspectors. Suppose that one of the 10,000 joints is randomly selected.

a. What is the probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by neither of the two inspectors?

b. What is the probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by inspector B but not by inspector A?

In Exercise\({\rm{59}}\), consider the following additional information on credit card usage: \({\rm{70\% }}\)of all regular fill-up customers use a credit card. \({\rm{50\% }}\) of all regular non-fill-up customers use a credit card. \({\rm{60\% }}\) of all plus fill-up customers use a credit card. \({\rm{50\% }}\) of all plus non-fill-up customers use a credit card. \({\rm{50\% }}\) of all premium fill-up customers use a credit card. \({\rm{40\% }}\) of all premium non-fill-up customers use a credit card. Compute the probability of each of the following events for the next customer to arrive (a tree diagram might help).

a. {plus and fill-up and credit card}

b. {premium and non-fill-up and credit card}

c. {premium and credit card}

d. {fill-up and credit card}

e. {credit card}

f. If the next customer uses a credit card, what is the probability that premium was requested?

At a certain gas station, \({\rm{40\% }}\)of the customers use regular gas \(\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}} \right){\rm{,35\% }}\) use plus gas\(\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}} \right)\), and \({\rm{25\% }}\) use premium\(\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}} \right)\). Of those customers using regular gas, only \({\rm{30\% }}\) fill their tanks (event \({\rm{B}}\) ). Of those customers using plus, \({\rm{60\% }}\)fill their tanks, whereas of those using premium, \({\rm{50\% }}\)fill their tanks.

a. What is the probability that the next customer will request plus gas and fill the tank\(\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}} \cap {\rm{B}}} \right)\)?

b. What is the probability that the next customer fills the tank?

c. If the next customer fills the tank, what is the probability that regular gas is requested? Plus? Premium?

A computer consulting firm presently has bids out on three projects. Let \({A_i}\) = {awarded project i}, for i=1, 2, 3, and suppose that\(P\left( {{A_1}} \right) = .22,\;P\left( {{A_2}} \right) = .25,\;P\left( {{A_3}} \right) = .28,\;P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2}} \right) = .11,\;P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_3}} \right) = .05,\)\(P\left( {{A_2} \cap {A_3}} \right) = .07\),\(P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2} \cap {A_3}} \right) = .01\). Express in words each of the following events, and compute the probability of each event:

a. {\({A_1} \cup {A_2}\)}

b. \(A_1' \cap A_2'\)(Hint: \(\left( {{A_1} \cup {A_2}} \right)' = A_1' \cap A_2'\) )

c.\({A_1} \cup {A_2} \cup {A_3}\)

d. \(A_1' \cap A_2' \cap A_3'\)

e. \(A_1' \cap A_2' \cap {A_3}\)

f. \(\left( {A_1' \cap A_2'} \right) \cup {A_3}\)

An ATM personal identification number (PIN) consists of four digits, each a\({\rm{0, 1, 2, \ldots 8, or 9}}\), in succession.

a. How many different possible PINs are there if there are no restrictions on the choice of digits?

b. According to a representative at the author鈥檚 local branch of Chase Bank, there are in fact restrictions on the choice of digits. The following choices are prohibited: (i) all four digits identical (ii) sequences of consecutive ascending or descending digits, such as \({\rm{6543}}\) (iii) any sequence starting with \({\rm{19}}\) (birth years are too easy to guess). So, if one of the PINs in (a) is randomly selected, what is the probability that it will be a legitimate PIN (that is, not be one of the prohibited sequences)?

c. Someone has stolen an ATM card and knows that the first and last digits of the PIN are \({\rm{8}}\) and\({\rm{1}}\), respectively. He has three tries before the card is retained by the ATM (but does not realize that). So, he randomly selects the \({\rm{2nd and 3rd}}\) digits for the first try, then randomly selects a different pair of digits for the second try, and yet another randomly selected pair of digits for the third try (the individual knows about the restrictions described in (b) so selects only from the legitimate possibilities). What is the probability that the individual gains access to the account?

d. Recalculate the probability in (c) if the first and last digits are \({\rm{1}}\) and \({\rm{1}}\), respectively.
