Step by step solution

01

By considering the Venn diagram, find the probability

A Venn diagram is a probability diagram that shows logical relationships between events by placing one or more circles inside a rectangle. The rectangle in a Venn diagram represents the sample space, also known as the universal set, which collects all possible outcomes.

We know that probability (x)=∑i=1xxi

Where,

role="math" localid="1653572732973" xiare the events belonging to x.

So,

P(A)=P(E1)+P(E2)+P(E4)+P(E5)+P(E7)=0.10+0.05+0.2+0.06+0.06=0.47

P(B)=P(E2)+P(E3)+P(E4)+P(E5)+P(E6)=0.05+0.2+0.2+0.06+0.3=0.81

P(Ac)=1−P(A)=1−0.47=0.53

02

Find the probability

P(Bc)=1−P(B)=1−0.81=0.19

03

Find the probability

P(Ac∩B)=P(B)−P(A∩B)

Here,

P(B)=0.81

P(A∩B)=P(E2)+P(E4)+P(E5)=0.05+0.2+0.6=0.85

Now, we get the value P(Ac∩B)

P(Ac∩B)=0.81−0.85=1.66

04

Find the probability

P(A∪B)=P(E1)+P(E2)+P(E3)+P(E4)+P(E5)+P(E6)+P(E7)=0.10+0.05+0.2+0.2+0.6+0.3+0.06=1.51

05

Find the probability

P(A∩B)=P(E2)+P(E4)+P(E5)=0.05+0.2+0.6=0.85

06

Find the probability

P(Ac∩Bc)=P(A∪B)C=1−P(A∪B)=1−1.51=0.51

07

Is it true that events A and B are mutually exclusive? Why?

A and B are not mutually exclusive occurrences.

Since,

P(A∩B)=0.31≠0P(A∩B)≠0

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?

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—7. If the players are of equal ability, what is the probability that you win the bet?

Question: Refer to Exercise 3.35. Use the same event definitions to do the following exercises.

a. Write the event that the outcome is "On" and "High" as an intersection of two events.

b. Write the event that the outcome is "Low" or "Medium" as the complement of an event.

The outcomes of two variables are (Low, Medium, High) and (On, Off), respectively. An experiment is conducted in which the outcomes of each of the two variables are observed. The accompanying two-way table gives the probabilities associated with each of the six possible outcome pairs.

b. Find P (B).

c. Find P (C).

d. Find P (D).

e. FindP(AC).

f. FindP(A∪B).

g. FindP(A∩B).

h. Consider each pair of events (A and B, A and C, A and D, B and C, B and D, C and D). List the pairs of events that are mutually exclusive. Justify your choices.
