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 and 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.
Box of chocolates According to Forrest Gump, 鈥淟ife is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you鈥檙e gonna get.鈥 Suppose a candy maker offers a
special 鈥淕ump box鈥 with chocolate candies that look the same. In fact, of the candies have soft centers and 6 have hard centers. Choose of the
candies from a Gump box at random.
(a) Draw a tree diagram that shows the sample space of this chance process.
(b) Find the probability that one of the chocolates has a soft center and the other one doesn鈥檛.
Late shows Some TV shows begin after their scheduled times when earlier programs run late. According to a network鈥檚 records, about 3% of its shows start late. To find the probability that three consecutive shows on this network start on time, can we multiply (0.97)(0.97)(0.97)? Why or why not?
Shuffle a standard deck of cards, and turn over the top card. Put it back in the deck, shuffle again, and turn over the top card. Define events : first card is a heart, and : second card is a heart.
A Titanic disaster In the luxury liner Titanic, on its first voyage across the Atlantic, struck an iceberg and sank. Some passengers got off the ship in lifeboats, but many died. The two-way table gives information about adult passengers who lived and who died, by class of travel. Suppose we choose an adult passenger at random.
(a) Given that the person selected was in first class, what鈥檚 the probability that he or she survived?
(b) If the person selected survived, what鈥檚 the probability that he or she was a third-class passenger?
