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

Airport security The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is responsible for airport safety. On some flights, TSA officers randomly select passengers for an extra security check prior to boarding. One such flight had 76passengers12in first class and 64 in coach class. Some passengers were surprised when none of the 10passengers chosen for screening were seated in first class. We can use a simulation to see if this result is likely to happen by chance.

(a) State the question of interest using the language of probability.

(b) How would you use random digits to imitate one repetition of the process? What variable would you measure?

(c) Use the line of random digits below to perform one repetition. Copy these digits onto your paper. Mark directly on or above them to show how you determined the outcomes of the chance process.

During World War II, the British found that the probability that a bomber is lost through enemy action on a mission over occupied Europe was 0.05 Assuming that missions are independent, find the probability that a bomber returned safely from 20 missions.

Simulation blunders Explain what鈥檚 wrong with each of the following simulation designs.

(a) According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 26%of U.S. adults were obese in 2008. To simulate choosing 8adults at random and seeing how many are obese, we could use two digits. Let 01to 26represent obese and 27to 00represents not obese. Move across a row in Table D, two digits at a time, until you find 8 distinct numbers (no repeats). Record the number of obese people selected.

(b) Assume that the probability of a newborn being a boy is 0.5. To simulate choosing a random sample of 9babies who were born at a local hospital today and observing their gender, use one digit. Use ran dint (0,9) on your calculator to determine how many babies in the sample are male.

Preparing for the GMAT A company that offers courses to prepare students for the Graduate Management 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?

IfC is the event that the person chosen has normal cholesterol (below 200 mg/dl), what鈥檚 P(C)?
