Step by step solution

01

Finding the sample points contained in sample space

Two dice are tossed and the face on each dice is observed. The first dice is tossed and the face on the dice is written. After that, the second dice is tossed and the face on this dice is observed. The first branches show the face on the first dice and the ends show the face on the second dice.

02

Assigning probability to sample points

Two fair dice are tossed, the faces on one dice are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 .

Therefore, the total number of possible outcomes are 62=36

03

Finding the probability of event A,B and C

A=3showing on each die andS=total outcome (sample space)

One observes 3 on both the dice only one time.

Hence nB=1 and nS=36

localid="1662212210908" PA=FavorablenumberofoutcomesTotalnumberofoutcomes=nAnS=136

Therefore, the probability of getting 3 on each die is localid="1662212168718" 136.

B=Sum of two numbers showing is 7

One observes sum of two numbers showing as 7 when the sample points are 1,6,2,5,3,4,4,3,5,2,6,1

Therefore, nB=6

localid="1662212248503" PB=FavorablenumberofoutcomesTotalnumberofoutcomes=nBnS=636=16

Thus, the probability of getting two numbers whose sum is 7 is16.

C=Sum of two numbers is even

One observes sum of two numbers is even when the sample points are

1,1,1,3,1,5,2,2,2,4,2,6,3,1,3,3,3,54,2,4,4,4,6,5,1,5,3,5,5,6,2,6,4,6,6

Therefore, nC=18

localid="1662212281500" PC=FavorablenumberofoutcomesTotalnumberofoutcomes=nCnS=1836=12

Hence, the probability of getting two numbers whose sum is an even number is 12.

Advertising proposals. The manager of an advertising department has asked her creative team to propose six new ideas for an advertising campaign for a major client. She will choose three of the six proposals to present to the client. The proposals were named A, B, C, D, E, and F, respectively.

a. In how many ways can the manager select the three proposals? List the possibilities.

b. It is unlikely that the manager will randomly select three of the six proposals, but if she does, what is the probability that she will select proposals A, D, and E?

Colors of M&M's candies. When first produced in 1940, M&M's Plain Chocolate Candies came in only brown color. Today, M&Ms in standard bags come in six colors: brown, yellow, red, blue, orange, and green. According to Mars Corporation, 24% of all M&Ms produced are blue, 20% are orange, 16% are green, 14% are yellow, 13% are brown, and 13% are red. Suppose you purchase a randomly selected bag of M&M's Plain Chocolate Candies and randomly select one of the M&M's from the bag. The color of the selected M&M is of interest.

a. Identify the outcomes (sample points) of this experiment.

b. Assign reasonable probabilities to the outcomes, part a.

c. What is the probability that the selected M&M is brown (the original color)?

d. In 1960, the colors red, green, and yellow were added to brown M&Ms. What is the probability that the selected M&M is either red, green, or yellow?

e. In 1995, based on voting by American consumers, the color blue was added to the M&M mix. What is the probability that the selected M&M is not blue?

Cell phone handoff behaviour. A 鈥渉andoff鈥 is a term used in wireless communications to describe the process of a cell phone moving from the coverage area of one base station to that of another. Each base station has multiple channels (called color codes) that allow it to communicate with the cell phone. The Journal of Engineering, Computing and Architecture (Vol. 3., 2009) published a cell phone handoff behavior study. During a sample driving trip that involved crossing from one base station to another, the different color codes accessed by the cell phone were monitored and recorded. The table below shows the number of times each color code was accessed for two identical driving trips, each using a different cell phone model. (Note: The table is similar to the one published in the article.) Suppose you randomly select one point during the combined driving trips.

Museum management. Refer to the Museum Management and Curatorship (June 2010) study of the criteria used to evaluate museum performance, Exercise 2.14 (p. 74). Recall that the managers of 30 leading museums of contemporary art were asked to provide the performance measure used most often. A summary of the results is reproduced in the table. Performance Measure Number of Museums Total visitors 8 Paying visitors 5 Big shows 6 Funds raised 7 Members 4

a. If one of the 30 museums is selected at random, what is the probability that the museum uses total visitors or funds raised most often as a performance measure?

b. Consider two museums of contemporary art randomly selected from all such museums. Of interest is whether or not the museums use total visitors or funds raised most often as a performance measure. Use a tree diagram to aid in listing the sample points for this problem.

c. Assign reasonable probabilities to the sample points of part b.

d. Refer to parts b and c. Find the probability that both museums use total visitors or funds raised most often as a performance measure.

Chance of winning at 鈥渃raps.鈥 A version of the dice game鈥渃raps鈥 is played in the following manner. A player starts by rolling two balanced dice. If the roll (the sum of the two numbers showing on the dice) results in a 7 or 11, the player wins. If the roll results in a 2 or a 3 (called craps), the player loses. For any other roll outcome, the player continues to throw the dice until the original roll outcome recurs (in which case the player wins) or until a 7 occurs

(in which case the player loses).

a. What is the probability that a player wins the game on the first roll of the dice?

b. What is the probability that a player loses the game on the first roll of the dice?

c. If the player throws a total of 4 on the first roll, what is the probability that the game ends (win or lose) on the next roll?
