Chance of winning blackjack. Blackjack, a favourite gameof gamblers, is played by a dealer and at least one opponent (called a player). In one game version, 2 cards of a standard 52-card bridge deck are dealt to the player and 2 cards to the dealer.This exercise assumes that drawing an ace and a face card is called blackjack. If the dealer does not draw blackjack and the player does, the player wins. If the dealer and player draw blackjack, a 鈥減ush鈥 (i.e., a tie) occurs.

a. What is the probability that the dealer will draw a blackjack?

b. What is the probability that the player wins with a blackjack?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The probability that the dealer will draw a blackjack is 0.0362.
  2. The probability that the player wins with blackjack is 0.0352.

Step by step solution

01

Important formula

The combination formula isNr=N!r!(N-r)!

02

(a) Find the probability that the dealer will draw a blackjack

According to the given information, since an ace can be drawn 4 times and a face card can be drawn 12 times, then 412=48

So, there are 48 different ways.

Here total cards are 52, and 2 two cards are drawn. To get the result use a combination formula.

Nr=N!r!N-r!=52!2!52-2!=52!2!50!=1326

P(DB)=481326=0.0362

Hence, the probability that the dealer will draw a blackjack is 0.0362

03

(b) Find the probability that the player wins with a blackjack

To the given information, an ace can be drawn 4 times, and a 3-face card can be drawn 11 times311=33

So, there are 33 different ways.

Here total cards are 50, and 2 two cards are drawn. To get the result use a combination formula.

Nr=N!r!N-r!=50!2!50-2!=52!2!48!=1225

Now,

PBJC|PLAYER=1-331225=11921225=0.973

P(playerDealernotdrawablackjckc)=0.0362(0.973)=0.0352

Therefore, the probability that the player wins with blackjack is 0.0352.

Randomization in a study of TV commercials. Gonzaga University professors conducted a study of more than 1,500 television commercials and published their results in the Journal of Sociology, Social Work, and Social Welfare (Vol. 2, 2008). Commercials from eight networks鈥擜BC, FAM, FOX, MTV, ESPN, CBS, CNN, and NBC鈥攚ere sampled for 8 days, with one network randomly selected each day. The table below shows the actual order determined by random draw:

ABC鈥擩uly 6 (Wed)

FAM鈥擩uly 7 (Thr)

FOX鈥擩uly 9 (Sat)

MTV鈥擩uly 10 (Sun)

ESPN鈥擩uly 11 (Mon)

CBS鈥擩uly 12 (Tue)

CNN鈥擩uly 16 (Sat)

NBC鈥擩uly 17 (Sun)

a. What is the probability that ESPN was selected on Monday, July 11?

b. Consider the four networks chosen for the weekends (Saturday and Sunday). How many ways could the researchers select four networks from the eight for the weekend analysis of commercials? (Assume that the assignment order for the four weekend days was immaterial to the analysis.)

c. Knowing that the networks were selected at random, what is the probability that ESPN was one of the four networks selected for the weekend analysis of commercials?

Do social robots walk or roll? Refer to the International Conference on Social Robotics (Vol. 6414, 2010) study of the trend in the design of social robots, Exercise 3.10 (p. 168). Recall that in a random sample of 106 social robots, 63 were built with legs only, 20 with wheels only, 8 with both legs and wheels, and 15 with neither legs nor wheels. Use the complements rule to find the probability that a randomly selected social robot is designed with either legs or wheels.

Degrees of best-paid CEOs.Refer to the results of the Glassdoor Economic Research (August 25, 2015) survey of the top 40 best-paid CEOs shown in Table 2.1 (p. 65). The data on the highest degree obtained are summarized in the SPSS printout below. Suppose you randomly select five of the CEOs (without replacement) and record the highest degree obtained by each.

a.What is the probability that the highest degree obtained by the first CEO you select is a bachelor鈥檚 degree?

b.Suppose the highest degree obtained by each of the first four CEOs you select is a bachelor鈥檚 degree. What is the probability that the highest degree obtained

by the fifth CEO you select is a bachelor鈥檚 degree?

Blood diamonds.According to Global Research News(March 4, 2014), one-fourth of all rough diamonds producedin the world are blood diamonds. (Any diamond that is mined in a war zone鈥攐ften by children鈥攖o finance a warlord鈥檚 activity, an insurgency, or an invading army鈥檚 effort is considered a blood diamond.) Also, 90% of the world鈥檚 rough diamonds are processed in Surat, India, and, of these diamonds one-third are blood diamonds.

a.Find the probability that a rough diamond is not a blood diamond.

b.Find the probability that a rough diamond is processed in Surat and is a blood diamond.

A sample space contains six sample points and events A, B, and C as shown in the Venn diagram. The probabilities of the sample points are

P (1) = .20, P (2) = .05, P (3) = .30, P (4) = .10,P (5) = .10, P (6) = .25.

a. Which pairs of events, if any, are mutually exclusive? Why?

b. Which pairs of events, if any, are independent? Why?

c. FindP (AB) by adding the probability of the sample points and then using the additive rule. Verify that the answers agree. Repeat forP (AC)
