a. List all possible outcomes.

b. Suppose a running tally is kept as slips are removed. For what outcomes does Aremain ahead of B throughout the tally?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The possible outcomes are,

\(S = \left\{ \begin{aligned}{l}BBBAAAA,BBABAAA,BBAABAA,BBAAABA,BBAAAB,BABBAAA,BABABAA,BABAABA,BABAAAB,\\BAABBAA,BAABABA,BAABAAB,BAAABBA,BAAABAB,BAAAABB,ABBBAAA,ABBABAA,ABBAABA,\\ABBAAAB,ABABBAA,ABABABA,ABABAAB,ABAABBA,ABAABAB,ABAABB,AABBBAA,AABBABA,\\AABBAAB,AABABBA,AABABAB,AABAABB,AAABBBA,AAABBAB,AAABABB,AAAABBB\end{aligned} \right\}\)

b. The possible outcomes are,

\(C = \left\{ {AABABAB,AABAABB,AAABBAB,AAABABB,AAAABBB} \right\}\)

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The number of slips the ballot box contains with votes for candidate A is 4.

The number of slips the ballot box contains with votes for candidate B is 3.

Theslips are removed from the box one by one.

02

List the possible outcomes in event S

a.

Let S represents the event of all possible outcomes.

The outcomes are represented as,

\(S = \left\{ \begin{aligned}BBBAAAA,BBABAAA,BBAABAA,BBAAABA,BBAAAB,BABBAAA,BABABAA,BABAABA,BABAAAB,\\BAABBAA,BAABABA,BAABAAB,BAAABBA,BAAABAB,BAAAABB,ABBBAAA,ABBABAA,ABBAABA,\\ABBAAAB,ABABBAA,ABABABA,ABABAAB,ABAABBA,ABAABAB,ABAABB,AABBBAA,AABBABA,\\AABBAAB,AABABBA,AABABAB,AABAABB,AAABBBA,AAABBAB,AAABABB,AAAABBB\end{aligned} \right\}\)

03

List of the possible outcomes

b.

A running tally is kept as slips are removed.

Let C be the event that A remains ahead of B throughout the tally.

The possible outcomes are,

\(C = \left\{ {AABABAB,AABAABB,AAABBAB,AAABABB,AAAABBB} \right\}\)

As of April 2006, roughly 50 million .com web domain names were registered (e.g., yahoo.com).

a. How many domain names consisting of just two letters in sequence can be formed? How many domain names of length two are there if digits as well as letters are permitted as characters? (Note: A character length of three or more is now mandated.)

b. How many domain names are there consisting of three letters in sequence? How many of this length are there if either letters or digits are permitted? (Note: All are currently taken.)

c. Answer the questions posed in (b) for four-character sequences.

d. As of April 2006, 97,786 of the four-character se - quences using either letters or digits had not yet been claimed. If a four-character name is randomly selected, what is the probability that it is already owned?

Three molecules of type A, three of type B, three of type C, and three of type \({\rm{D}}\) are to be linked together to form a chain molecule. One such chain molecule is ABCDABCDABCD, and another is BCDDAAABDBCC.

a. How many such chain molecules are there? (Hint: If the three were distinguishable from one another鈥� \({\rm{A1,\;A2, A3}}\)鈥攁nd the were also, how many molecules would there be? How is this number reduced when the subscripts are removed from the ?)

b. Suppose a chain molecule of the type described is randomly selected. What is the probability that all three molecules of each type end up next to one another (such as in BBBAAADDDCCC)?

One of the assumptions underlying the theory of control charting is that successive plotted points are independent of one another. Each plotted point can signal either that a manufacturing process is operating correctly or that there is some sort of malfunction.

Components arriving at a distributor are checked for defects by two different inspectors (each component is checked by both inspectors). The first inspector detects \({\rm{90\% }}\)of all defectives that are present, and the second inspector does likewise. At least one inspector does not detect a defect on \({\rm{20\% }}\)of all defective components. What is the probability that the following occur?

a. A defective component will be detected only by the first inspector? By exactly one of the two inspectors?

b. All three defective components in a batch escape detection by both inspectors (assuming inspections of different components are independent of one another)?

A sonnet is a \({\rm{14}}\)-line poem in which certain rhyming patterns are followed. The writer Raymond Queneau published a book containing just \({\rm{10}}\) sonnets, each on a different page. However, these were structured such that other sonnets could be created as follows: the first line of a sonnet could come from the first line on any of the \({\rm{10}}\) pages, the second line could come from the second line on any of the \({\rm{10}}\) pages, and so on (successive lines were perforated for this purpose).

a. How many sonnets can be created from the \({\rm{10}}\) in the book?

b. If one of the sonnets counted in part (a) is selected at random, what is the probability that none of its lines came from either the first or the last sonnet in the book?
