Chapter 5: Q. 46 (page 328)

Colorful disksA jar contains 36disks: 9each of four colors鈥攔ed, green, blue, and Page Number: 328yellow. Each set of disks of the same color is numbered from 1to 9. 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 Rand N.

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

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

d. Explain why P(RorN)鈮P(R)+P(N) Then use the general addition rule to computeP(RorN).

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. A two 鈭 way table describing sample space in terms of events R and N.


 Nine Not Nine Total
Red 1 8 9
Not red 3 24 27
Total 4
 32 36

b. The probabilities of both events Rand Nis0.1111

c. The probability of "RandN" is0.0278

d. The probability of "RorN" is0.3333

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1 : Given Information

We have to determine two 鈭 way table describing sample space in terms of events R and N.

02

Part (a) Step 2 : Simplification

R: grab yourself a red disc
Get a disc with the number 9on it N.
In the case of a two-way table,
It is necessary for us to create two rows and two columns.
Let's call the rows and columns after the Rand Nevents.

Rows : red , not red

Columns : nine , not nine
We must write 36in the bottom left corner of the table because there are 36discs in total.
We are aware of this.
There are 9red, blue, green, and yellow discs in total.
This denotes
The discs are crimson in hue and there are nine of them and the remaining 27blue, green, and yellow discs.
Wealsounderstandthat
Each colour disc is assigned a number from 1to 9.
This denotes
There is only one disc, which is crimson in colour and has the number nine on it.
And
The last three discs are numbered 9 and come in a variety of colours.
This suggests that
Only one disc is numbered 9and is tinted red; the remaining eight discs are numbered 1-8.
Due to the fact that 3discs of different colours are numbered 9, the remaining 24discs of different colours are numbered 1-8.

Two 鈭 way table is shown as:


 Nine Not Nine Total
Red 1 8 9
Not red 3 24 27
Total 4
 32 36
03

Part (b) Step 1 : Given Information

We have to determine the probabilities of both events R and N.

04

Part (b) Step 2 : Simplification

R:grabyourselfareddisk
Get a disk with the number 9on it (N).
We are aware of this.
The colour red appears on 9of the 36discs.
The probability is calculated by dividing the number of favourable outcomes by the total number of possible possibilities.

P(R)=Number鈥of鈥favourable鈥outcomesNumber鈥of鈥possible鈥outcomes=936=14=0.25

Wealsounderstandthat
Each colour disc is assigned a number from 1to 9.
4discs with 4colours are numbered 9out of 36discs.

P(N)=Number鈥of鈥favourable鈥outcomesNumber鈥of鈥possible鈥outcomes=436=19鈮0.1111

05

Part (c) Step 1 : Given Information

We have to discuss the event 鈥R and N鈥 and also find its probability.

06

Part (c) Step 2 : Simplification

R: grab yourself a red disc
Get a disc with the number 9on it (N).
The letters "Rand N" stand for the fact that the disc is numbered 9and is red in hue.
We are aware of this.
There are 9red discs in all, out of a total of 36discs.
Since each colour disc is numbered 1to 9, there are a total of 9colour discs.
This denotes
Among the 36discs, there is only one that is numbered 9and red in colour and has the event "Rand N."
Now,
In terms of the likelihood,
The number of favourable results is divided by the total number of options.

P(R鈥and鈥N)=Number鈥of鈥favourable鈥outcomesNumber鈥of鈥possible鈥outcomes鈮0.0278

07

Part (d) Step 1 : Given Information

We have to discuss the probability of event 鈥RorN鈥 is not equal to the sum of individual probabilities of both events. Furthermore, general addition rule to be used for the probability of event 鈥RorN鈥.

08

Part (d) Step 2 : Simplification

R: grab yourself a red disc
Get a disc with the number 9on it (N).
If there are two events,
Rule of thumb for addition:

P(A鈥or鈥B)=P(A)+P(B)鈭P(A鈥and鈥B)

According to the declaration,

P(R鈥or鈥N)鈮P(R)+P(N)

ThereasonforthisisthattheoccurrencesRandNarenotmutuallyexclusive.
That is to say,
It is feasible for both occurrences to occur at the same moment.
as a result

P(R鈥and鈥N)鈮0

Parts (b) and (c),
We've got
Probabilities,
For the Revent: P(R)=936

For event N: 鈥鈥P(N)=436

For event 鈥RandN鈥 :- P(R鈥and鈥N)=136

For any two events, use the following generic addition rule:

P(R鈥or鈥N)=P(R)+P(N)鈭P(R鈥and鈥N)鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥=936+436鈭136鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥=1236鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈥鈮0.3333

Taking the train According to New Jersey Transit, the 8:00A.M.weekday train from Princeton to New York City has a 90%chance of arriving on time. To test this claim, an auditor chooses 6weekdays at random during a month to ride this train. The train arrives late on 2of those days. Does the auditor have convincing evidence that the company's claim is false? Describe how you would carry out a simulation to estimate the probability that a train with a 90%chance of arriving on time each day would be late on 2or more of 6days. Do not perform the simulation.

Genetics There are many married couples in which the husband and wife both carry a gene for cystic fibrosis but don鈥檛 have the disease themselves. Suppose we select one of these couples at random. According to the laws of genetics, the probability that their first child will develop cystic fibrosis is 0.25.

a. Interpret this probability as a long-run relative frequency.

b. If researchers randomly select 4such couples, is one of these couples guaranteed to have a first child who develops cystic fibrosis? Explain your answer.

Notebook check Every 9weeks, Mr. Millar collects students' notebooks and checks their homework. He randomly selects 4different assignments to inspect for all of the students. Marino is one of the students in Mr. Millar's class. Marino completed 20homework assignments and did not complete 10assignments. He is surprised when Mr. Millar only selects 1assignment that he completed. Should he be surprised? To find out, we want to design a simulation to estimate the probability that Mr. Millar will randomly select 1or fewer of the homework assignments that Marino completed.

Get 30identical slips of paper. Write "N" on 10 of the slips and "C" on the remaining 20slips. Put the slips into a hat and mix well. Draw 1slip without looking to represent the first randomly selected homework assignment, and record whether Marino completed it. Put the slip back into the hat, mix again, and draw another slip representing the second randomly selected assignment. Record whether Marino completed this assignment. Repeat this process two more times for the third and fourth randomly selected homework assignments. Record the number out of the 4randomly selected homework assignments that Marino completed in this trial of the simulation. Perform many trials. Find the proportion of trials in which Mr. Millar randomly selects 1or fewer of the homework assignments that Marino completed.

The dotplot displays the number of made shots in 100simulated sets of 50free throw by someone with probability 0.56of making a free throw.

Which of the following is an appropriate statement about Wilt鈥檚 free-throw shooting

based on this dotplot?

a. If Wilt were still only a 56%shooter, the probability that he would make at least 34of his shots is about0.03.

b. If Wilt were still only a 56%shooter, the probability that he would make at least 34of his shots is about 0.97..

c. If Wilt is now shooting better than 56%, the probability that he would make at least 34of his shots is about 0.03.

d. If Wilt is now shooting better than56%, the probability that he would make at least 34of his shots is about0.97.

e. If Wilt were still only a 56%shooter, the probability that he would make at least 34of his shots is about 0.01.
