Playing cards Shuffle a standard deck of playing cards and deal one card. Define events J: getting a jack, and R: getting a red card.

(a) Construct a two-way table that describes the sample space in terms of events J and R.

(b) Find P(J) and P(R).

(c) Describe the event 鈥J and R鈥 in words. Then find P(JandR)

(d) Explain why P(JorR)P(J)+P(R) Then use the general addition rule to compute P(JorR).

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (b) P(J) =0.077 and P(R)= 0.5

Part (c) P(J and R) =1/26

Part(d) P (J or R) =7/13

Part (a) Two way table is

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given Information  

n=52 is the number of cards in a typical deck.

Number of red cards: nr=26

Number of black cards in the deck: nb=26

Number of Jack cards in the deck:nj=4

Events:

Getting a jack is represented by the letterJ

R stands for receiving a red card.

02

Part (a) Step 2. Concept Used

An event is a subset of an experiment's total number of outcomes. The ratio of the number of elements in an event to the number of total outcomes is the probability of that occurrence and the use of the complimentary rule.

03

Part (a)  Step 3. Explanation   

The circumstances: jack and red.

The two-way table is as follows:

04

Part (b) Step 1. Calculation

Probability=NumberoffavorableoutcomesTotalpossibleoutcomes

P(jack) = P(J)

412=113

P(Red)=P(R)

=2652=12

05

Part (c) Step 1. Calculation   

Probability=NumberoffavorableoutcomesTotalpossibleoutcomes

P(J and R) =126

06

Part (d) Step 1. Calculation   

P(J and R) =126

P(J) =0.77and P(R)=0.5

Probability=NumberoffavorableoutcomesTotalpossibleoutcomes

P(JorR)=P(J)+P(R)P(JandR)

J and R do not have to be mutually exclusive.

P(JorR)P(J)+P(R)

That is, J and R happen to be present at the same time.

Therefore,

P(JorR)=113+12126=713

Role-playing games Computer games in which the players take the roles of characters are very popular. They go back to earlier tabletop games such as Dungeons & Dragons. These games use many different types of dice. A four-sided die has faces with 1,2,3and 4 spots.

(a) List the sample space for rolling the die twice (spots showing on first and second rolls).

(b) What is the assignment of probabilities to outcomes in this sample space? Assume that the die is perfectly balanced.

A Titanic disaster Refer to Exercise 64.

(a) Find P(survived | second class).

(b) Find P(survived).

(c) Use your answers to (a) and (b) to determine whether the events 鈥渟urvived鈥 and 鈥渟econd class鈥 are independent. Explain your reasoning.

Fill 鈥檈rr up! In a recent month, 88%of automobile drivers filled their vehicles with regular gasoline, 2%purchased midgrade gas, and 10%bought premium gas.17 Of those who bought regular gas, 28% paid with a credit card; of customers who bought midgrade and premium gas, 34% and 42%, respectively, paid with a credit card. Suppose we select a customer at random.

Draw a tree diagram to represent this situation. What鈥檚 the probability that the customer paid with a credit card? Use the four-step process to guide your work.

Preparing for the GMAT A company that offers courses to prepare students for the Graduate Management The admission Test (GMAT) has the following information about its customers: 20% are currently undergraduate students in business; 15% are undergraduate students in other fields of study; 60% are

college graduates who are currently employed, and 5% are college graduates who are not employed. Choose a customer at random.

(a) What鈥檚 the probability that the customer is currently an undergraduate? Which rule of probability did you use to find the answer?

(b) What鈥檚 the probability that the customer is not an undergraduate business student? Which rule of probability did you use to find the answer?

Brushing teeth, wasting water? A recent study reported that fewer than half of young adults turn off the water while brushing their teeth. Is the same true for teenagers? To find out, a group of statistics students asked an SRS of 60 students at their school if they usually brush with the water off. How many

students in the sample would need to say 鈥淣o鈥 to provide convincing evidence that fewer than half of the students at the school brush with the water off? The Fathom dot plot below shows the results of taking 200 SRSs of 60 students from a population in which the true proportion who brush with the

water off is 0.50.

(a) Suppose 27 students in the class鈥檚 sample say 鈥淣o.鈥 Explain why this result does not give convincing evidence that fewer than half of the school鈥檚 students brush their teeth with the water off.

(b) Suppose 18 students in the class鈥檚 sample say 鈥淣o.鈥 Explain why this result gives strong evidence that fewer than 50% of the school鈥檚 students brush

their teeth with the water off.
