Step by step solution

01

Identify the sample points

The sample points of the sample space are the primary outcomes of an experiment. Sample points are sample space elements that represent the experiment in terms of the sample space. Sample points are often referred to as sampling units or observations.

Rolling a pair of fair dice gives the following sample points:

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

02

Identify the sample points

A,B,AB,AB,andAc.

A=[(1,1)(1,2)(1,3)(1,4)(1,5)(1,6)(2,1)(3,1)(4,1)(5,1)(6,1)]

B=[(1,1)(1,3)(1,5)(2,2)(2,4)(2,6)(3,1)(3,3)(3,5)(4,2)(4,4)(4,6)(5,1)(5,3)(5,5)(6,2)(6,4)(6,6)]

AB=[(1,1)(1,3)(1,5)(3,1)(5,1)]

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

Ac=[(2,2)(2,3)(2,4)(2,5)(2,6)(3,2)(3,3)(3,4)(3,5)(3,6)(4,2)(4,3)(4,4)(4,5)(4,6)(5,2)(5,3)(5,4)(5,5)(5,6)(6,2)(6,3)(6,4)(6,5)(6,6)]

03

Calculation of the probabilities of all the events from part a summing the probability of the data from a sample point

Here, the total number of sample points is 36.

Likewise,

n=36n(A)=11n(B)=18n(AB)=5

n(AB)=24n(Ac)=25

Now, summing the probabilities of the data from a sample point is:

P(A)=1136,P(B)=1836,P(AB)=536,P(AB)=2436,

P(Ac)=2536

04

Identify why A and B are not mutually exclusive.

IfP(AB)=0, A and B are hence mutually exclusive.

Here,

P(AB)=5360

Hence, A and B don't get to be mutually exclusive.

05

Find and identify the answer is the same as in part b.

P(AB)=P(A)+P(B)P(AB)=1136+1836536=11+18536=2436

Yes, it is the same as in part b.

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.]

Characteristics of a new product. The long-run success of a business depends on its ability to market products with superior characteristics that maximize consumer satisfaction and that give the firm a competitive advantage (Kotler & Keller, Marketing Management, 2015). Ten new products have been developed by a food-products firm. Market research has indicated that the 10 products have the characteristics described by the following Venn diagram:

  1. Write the event that a product possesses all the desired characteristics as an intersection of the events defined in the Venn diagram. Which products are contained in this intersection?
  2. If one of the 10 products were selected at random to be marketed, what is the probability that it would possess all the desired characteristics?
  3. Write the event that the randomly selected product would give the firm a competitive advantage or would satisfy consumers as a union of the events defined in the Venn diagram. Find the probability of this union.
  4. Write the event that the randomly selected product would possess superior product characteristics and satisfy consumers. Find the probability of this intersection.
  5. Two of the 10 products will be selected for an ad campaign. How many different pairs of products are possible?

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.

Jai-alai bets. The Quinella bet at the paramutual game of jai-alai consists of picking the jai-alai players that will place first and second in a game irrespective of order. In jai-alai, eight players (numbered 1, 2, 3, . . . , 8) compete in every game.

a. How many different Quinella bets are possible?

b. Suppose you bet the Quinella combination of 2鈥7. If the players are of equal ability, what is the probability that you win the bet?

Simulate the experiment described in Exercise 3.7 using any five identically shaped objects, two of which are one colour and the three another colour. Mix the objects, draw two, record the results, and then replace the objects. Repeat the experiment a large number of times (at least 100). Calculate the proportion of time events A, B, and C occur. How do these proportions compare with the probabilities you calculated in Exercise 3.7? Should these proportions equal the probabilities? Explain.
