A jar contains 36disks: 9each of four colors鈥攔ed, green, blue, and yellow. Each set of disks of the same color is numbered from 1to9. Suppose you draw one disk at random from the jar. Define events R: get a red disk, and N: get a disk with the number 9.

a. Make a two-way table that describes the sample space in terms of events R and N.

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

c. Describe the event 鈥淩 and N鈥 in words. Then find the probability of this event.

d. Explain whyP(RorN)P(R)+P(N)Then use the general addition rule to compute P(R or N).

Short Answer

Part a. Two way table is shown as-

Part b. Probabilities:

For event R, P(R)=0.25

For event N, P(N)0.1111

Part c. Probability for event, P(RandN)0.0278

Part d. Probability for event,P(RorN)0.3333

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information

R: get a red disk

N: get a disk with the number9

02

Part (a) Step 2. Calculation

For two 鈥 way table,

We are required to make two rows and two columns.

Let us name the rows and columns according to the events R and N.

Rows: red, not red.

Columns: nine, not nine.

Since there are 36disks in total, we have to mention 36 in the bottom left corner of the table.

We know that

There are 9disks of red, blue, green and yellow each.

This implies

There are 9disks which are red in color.

And

Remaining 27disks of blue, green and yellow color.

We also know that

Each color disks are numbered 1-9.

This implies

There is only 1disk which is colored red and numbered nine.

And

Remaining 3disks are numbered 9and of different color.

This also implies

With only 1disk of number 9and colored red, remaining 8disks of red color are numbered 1-8.

Since 3disks of different color are numbered 9, remaining 24disks of different color are numbered 1-8.

Two 鈥 way table is shown as:

03

Part (b) Step 1. Given information

R: get a red disk

N: get a disk with the number9

04

Part (b) Step 2. Calculation

We know that

9out of 36disks are red in color.

When number of favorable outcomes are divided by the number of possible outcomes, we get the probability.

role="math" localid="1663581576492" P(R)=NumberoffavorableoutcomesNumberofpossibleoutcomes=936=14=0.25

We also know that

Each color disks are numbered 1-9.

With 4colors, 4disks are numbered 9among 36disks.

P(N)=NumberoffavorableoutcomesNumberofpossibleoutcomes=436=190.1111

05

Part (c) Step 1. Given information

R: get a red disk

N: get a disk with the number9

06

Part (c) Step 2. Calculation

鈥淩 and N鈥 represents the event that the disk is numbered 9and red in color.

We know that

Out of total 36disks, there are 9disks which are red in color.

Since each color disks are numbered 1-9.

This implies

There is only one disk which is numbered 9and red in color among all 36disks and possesses the event 鈥淩 and N鈥.

Now,

For the probability,

Number of favorable outcomes are divided by the number of possible outcomes.

P(RandN)=NumberoffavarableoutcomesNumberofpossibleoutcomes0.0278

07

Part (d) Step 1. Given information

R: get a red disk

N: get a disk with the number9

08

Part (d) Step 2. Calculation

For any two events,

General addition rule:

P(AorB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(AorB)

According to the statement,

P(RorN)P(R)+P(N)

This is due to the events R and N are not mutually exclusive events.

That means

The occurrence of both the events at the same time is possible.

Such that

P(RandN)0

From Part (b) and (c),

We have

Probabilities,

For event R:

P(R)=936

For event N:

P(N)=436

For event 鈥淩 and N鈥

P(RandN)=136

Apply general addition rule for any two events:

P(RorN)=P(R)+P(N)-P(RandN)=936+436-136=1236=130.3333

Airport securityThe 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 76辫补蝉蝉别苍驳别谤蝉鈥12in first class and 64in coach class. Some passengers were surprised when none of the 10passengers chosen for screening were seated in first class. We want to perform a simulation to estimate the probability that no first-class passengers would be chosen in a truly random selection.

a. Describe how you would use a table of random digits to carry out this simulation.

b. Perform one trial of the simulation using the random digits that follow. Copy the digits onto your paper and mark directly on or above them so that someone can follow what you did.

c. In 15of the 100trials of the simulation, none of the 10passengers chosen was seated in first class. Does this result provide convincing evidence that the TSA officers did not carry out a truly random selection? Explain your answer.

Grandkids Mr. Starnes and his wife have 6grandchildren: Connor, Declan, Lucas, Piper, Sedona, and Zayne. They have 2extra tickets to a holiday show, and will randomly select which 2grandkids get to see the show with them.

a. Give a probability model for this chance process.

b. Find the probability that at least one of the two girls (Piper and Sedona) get to go to the show.

Mike鈥檚 pizza - You work at Mike鈥檚 pizza shop. You have the following information about the 9 pizzas in the oven: 3 of the 9 have thick crust and 2 of the 3 thick-crust pizzas have mushrooms. Of the remaining 6 pizzas, 4 have mushrooms.

a. Are the events 鈥渢hick-crust pizza鈥 and 鈥減izza with mushrooms鈥 mutually exclusive? Page Number: 356 Justify your answer.

b. Are the events 鈥渢hick-crust pizza鈥 and 鈥減izza with mushrooms鈥 independent? Justify your answer.

c. Suppose you randomly select 2 of the pizzas in the oven. Find the probability that both have mushrooms.

BMI (2.2, 5.2, 5.3) Your body mass index (BMI) is your weight in kilograms divided by

the square of your height in meters. Online BMI calculators allow you to enter weight in

pounds and height in inches. High BMI is a common but controversial indicator of being

overweight or obese. A study by the National Center for Health Statistics found that the

BMI of American young women (ages 20 to 29) is approximately Normally distributed

with mean 26.8 and standard deviation 7.4.

27

a. People with BMI less than 18.5 are often classed as 鈥渦nderweight.鈥 What percent of

young women are underweight by this criterion?

b. Suppose we select two American young women in this age group at random. Find the

probability that at least one of them is classified as underweight.

Liar, liar! Sometimes police use a lie detector test to help determine whether a suspect is

telling the truth. A lie detector test isn鈥檛 foolproof鈥攕ometimes it suggests that a person is

lying when he or she is actually telling the truth (a 鈥渇alse positive鈥). Other times, the test

says that the suspect is being truthful when he or she is actually lying (a 鈥渇alse negative鈥).

For one brand of lie detector, the probability of a false positive is 0.08.

a. Explain what this probability means.

b. Which is a more serious error in this case: a false positive or a false negative? Justify

your answer.
