  4. AB

Step by step solution

01

Determine the sample points in the event

A sample point is one of the experiment's possible outcomes in a probabilistic experiment. Sample space refers to the collection of all sample points.

So, a number between 1 and 10 is:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

Here,

A: [The number is even]

Equivalently,

A: [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

B: [The number less than 7]

Equivalently,

B: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Union of sets A and B AB:

It identifies a set that occurs in either set A or B or both sets. We can observe that elements 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 occur in either set A or B.

Therefore, AB=[1,2,3,4,5,6]

02

Determine the sample points in the event

Intersect of set A and B, AB

It identifies a set that is common in set A and set B. We can observe that elements 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are common in sets A and B.

Therefore, AB=[2,4,6]

Hence,2, 4, 6 are the sample points.

03

Identify the expression which represents the event that the number is even or less than 7 or both

The event which represents the number is even, less than 7, or both are:

AB=[1,2,3,4,5,6]

Because this includes even, less than 7, or both the numbers, hence,ABrepresents the expression.

04

Identify the expression which represents the event that the number is both even and less than 7

The event which represents the number is both even and less than seven is:

AB=[2,4,6]

Because this includes both even and less than seven numbers,

Hence, ABrepresents the expression.

Two fair coins are tossed, and the following events are defined:

A: [Observe one head and one tail.]

B: [Observe at least one head.]

a. Define the possible sample points and assign probabilities to each.

b. Draw a Venn diagram for the experiment, showing the sample points and events A and B.

c. Find P(A), P(B) andP(AB).

d. Use the formula for conditional probability to find P (A/B)and P (B/A). Verify your answer by inspecting the Venn diagram and using the concept of reduced sample spaces.

A pair of fair dice is tossed. Define the following events:

A: [Exactly one of the dice shows a 1.]

B: [The sum of the numbers on the two dice is even.]

a. Identify the sample points in the events A,B,AB,AB,andAc.

b. Find the probabilities of all the events from part a by summing the probabilities of the appropriate sample points.

C. Using your result from part b, explain why A and B are not mutually exclusive.

d. Find P(AB) using the additive rule. Is your answer the same as in part b?

On-the-job arrogance and task performance. Human Performance (Vol. 23, 2010) published the results of a study that found that arrogant workers are more likely to have poor performance ratings. Suppose that 15% of all full-time workers exhibit arrogant behaviors on the job and that 10% of all full-time workers will receive a poor performance rating. Also, assume that 5% of all full-time workers exhibit arrogant behaviors and receive a poor performance rating. Let A be the event that a full-time worker exhibits arrogant behavior. Let B be the event that a full-time worker will receive a poor performance rating.

a. Are the events A and B mutually exclusive? Explain.

b. Find P(B/A).

c. Are the events A and B independent? Explain.

Most likely coin-tossing sequence. In Parade Magazine鈥檚 (November 26, 2000) column 鈥淎sk Marilyn,鈥 the following question was posed: 鈥淚 have just tossed a [balanced] coin 10 times, and I ask you to guess which of the following three sequences was the result. One (and only one) of the sequences is genuine.鈥

(1) H HHHHHHHHH

(2) H H T T H T T H HH

(3) T TTTTTTTTT

  1. Demonstrate that prior to actually tossing the coins, thethree sequences are equally likely to occur.
  2. Find the probability that the 10 coin tosses result in all heads or all tails.
  3. Find the probability that the 10 coin tosses result in a mix of heads and tails.
  4. Marilyn鈥檚 answer to the question posed was 鈥淭hough the chances of the three specific sequences occurring randomly are equal . . . it鈥檚 reasonable for us to choose sequence (2) as the most likely genuine result.鈥 If you know that only one of the three sequences actually occurred, explain why Marilyn鈥檚 answer is correct. [Hint: Compare the probabilities in parts b and c.]

Confidence of feedback information for improving quality. In the semiconductor manufacturing industry, a key to improved quality is having confidence in the feedback generated by production equipment. A study of the confidence level of feedback information was published in Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence(Vol. 26, 2013). At any point in time during the production process, a report can be generated. The report is classified as either 鈥淥K鈥 or 鈥渘ot OK.鈥 Let Arepresent the event that an 鈥淥K鈥 report is generated in any time period (t).Let Brepresent the event that an 鈥淥K鈥 report is generated in the next time period. Consider the following probabilities:

P(A)=0.8,PBA=0.9, andPBAC=0.5.

a. Express the event B|Ain the words of the problem.

b. Express the event B|ACin the words of the problem.

c. FindP(AC).

d. FindP(AB).

e. FindP(ACB).

f. Use the probabilities, parts d and e, to find P(B).

g. Use Bayes鈥 Rule to find P(A|B), i.e., the probability that an 鈥淥K鈥 report was generated in one time period(t), given that an 鈥淥K鈥 report is generated in the next time period(t+1).
