Chapter 5: Q. 105. (page 337)

Suppose a loaded die has the following probability model:

If this die is thrown and the top face shows an odd number, what is the probability that the die shows a 1?

a. 0.10

b. 0.17

c. 0.30

d. 0.50

e. 0.60

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that the die shows a1is0.60

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Probability model for loaded die:

02

Calculation

The addition rule for disjoint or mutually exclusive events is as follows:

P(A鈭�B)=P(AorB)=P(A)+P(B)

Definition of conditional probability:

P(B鈭�A)=P(A鈭�B)P(A)=P(AandB)P(A)

From the table,

Probability to roll a 1

P(1)=0.3

When it comes to the chances of rolling an odd number(1,3or5)

For disjoint events, use the following addition rule:

P(odd)=P(1)+P(3)+P(5)=0.3+0.1+0.1=0.5

Definition of conditional probability:

P(1鈭�odd)=P(l andodd)P(odd)=0.30.5=35=0.60

Therefore, the conditional probability to roll 1 is0.60

Another commercial If Aaron tunes into his favorite radio station at a

randomly selected time, there is a0.20 probability that a commercial will be playing.

Body image A random sample of 1200U.S. college students was asked, 鈥淲hat is your perception of your own body? Do you feel that you are overweight, underweight, or about right?鈥� The two-way table below summarizes the data on perceived body image by gender.

Suppose we randomly select one of the survey respondents.

a. Given that the person perceived his or her body image as about right, what鈥檚 the

probability that the person is female?

b. If the person selected is female, what鈥檚 the probability that she did not perceive her body image as overweight?

Get rich A survey of 4826 randomly selected young adults (aged 19to25) asked, 鈥淲hat do you think are the chances you will have much more than a middle-class income at age 30?鈥� The two-way table summarizes the responses.

Choose a survey respondent at random. Define events G: a good chance, M: male, and N: almost no chance.

a. Find P(G|M). Interpret this value in context.

b. Given that the chosen survey respondent didn鈥檛 say 鈥渁lmost no chance,鈥� what鈥檚 the probability that this person is female? Write your answer as a probability statement using correct symbols for the events.
