Chapter 3: Q97E (page 203)

Consider two events A and B, withP(A)=.1,P(B)=.2,andP(A鈭�B)=0

a.Are A and B mutually exclusive?

b.Are A and B independent?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The events are mutually exclusive.

b. The events are not independent.

Step by step solution

01

Mutually exclusive

The events are said to be mutually excusive that event that cannot occurs at the same time and having probability is zero.

The events are said independent if their probability does not affect each another. P(A鈭�B)=P(A)鈰�P(B).

02

Find A and B mutually exclusive

a.

Yes, event A and B are mutually exclusive because P(A鈭�B)=0.

Hence, the events are mutually exclusive.

03

Showing A and B are not independent

b.

No, A, and B are not separate events.

Here,

PA.PB=0.1脳0.2=0.02鈮�0

That is,P(A)鈰�P(B)鈮�P(A鈭�B)

Therefore, the events are not independent.

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?

Is a product 鈥済reen鈥�?A 鈥済reen鈥� product (e.g., a productbuilt from recycled materials) is one that has minimal impact on the environment and human health. How do consumers determine if a product is 鈥済reen鈥�? The 2011

Study of why EMS workers leave the job. An investigation into why emergency medical service (EMS) workers leave the profession was published in the Journal of Allied Health (Fall 2011). The researchers surveyed a sample of 244 former EMS workers, of which 127 were fully compensated while on the job, 45 were partially compensated, and 72 had no compensated volunteer positions. EMS workers who left because of retirement were 7 for fully compensated workers, 11 for partially compensated workers, and 10 for no compensated volunteers. One of the 244 former EMS workers is selected at random.

a. Find the probability that the former EMS worker was fully compensated while on the job.

b. Find the probability that the former EMS worker was fully compensated while on the job and left due to retirement.

c. Find the probability that the former EMS worker was not fully compensated while on the job.

d. Find the probability that the former EMS worker was either fully compensated while on the job or left due to retirement.

Three fair coins are tossed and either heads(H) or tails(T) are observed for each coin.

  1. List the sample points for the experiment.
  2. Assign probabilities to the sample points.
  3. Determine the probability of observing each of the following events:

A= {Three heads are observed}

B= {Exactly two heads are observed}

C= {At least two heads are observed}

Ambulance response time.Geographical Analysis(Jan. 2010) presented a study of emergency medical service (EMS) ability to meet the demand for an ambulance. In one example, the researchers presented the following scenario. An ambulance station has one vehicle and two demand locations, A and B. The probability that the ambulance can travel to a location in under 8 minutes is .58 for location A and .42 for location B. The probability that the ambulance is busy at any point in time is .3.

a.Find the probability that EMS can meet the demand for an ambulance at location A.

b.Find the probability that EMS can meet the demand for an ambulance at location B.
