Four-sided dice A four-sided die is a pyramid whose four faces are labeled
with the numbers and(see image). Imagine rolling two fair, four-sided dice and
recording the number that is showing at the base of each pyramid. For instance, you would
record a if the die landed as shown in the figure.
a. Give a probability model for this chance process.
b. Define event A as getting a sum of . Find P(A).
Recycling Do most teens recycle? To find out, an AP庐 Statistics class asked an SRS of students at their school whether they regularly recycle. In the sample, students said that they recycle. Is this convincing evidence that more than half of the students at the school would say they regularly recycle? The dotplot shows the results of taking SRSS of students from a population in which the true proportion who recycle is .
a. Explain why the sample result (out of said "Yes") does not give convincing evidence that more than half of the school's students recycle.
b. Suppose instead that students in the class's sample had said "Yes." Explain why this result would give convincing evidence that a majority of the school's students recycle.
Is this your card? A standard deck of playing cards (with jokers removed) consists of 52 cards in four suits鈥攃lubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades. Each suit has 13 cards, with denominations ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, jack, queen, and king. The jacks, queens, and kings are referred to as 鈥渇ace cards.鈥� Imagine that we shuffle the deck thoroughly and deal one card. The two-way table summarizes the sample space for this chance process based on whether or not the card is a face card and whether or not the card is a heart.
| Type of card | |||
| Face card | Non-Face card | Total | |
| Heart | |||
| Non-Heart | |||
| Total | |||
Are the events 鈥渉eart鈥� and 鈥渇ace card鈥� independent? Justify your answer.
Color-blind men About of men in the United States have some form of red-green color blindness. Suppose we randomly select one U.S. adult male at a time until we find one who is red-green color-blind. Should we be surprised if it takes us or more men? Describe how you would carry out a simulation to estimate the probability that we would have to randomly select or more U.S. adult males to find one who is red-green color blind. Do not perform the simulation.
Colorful disksA jar contains disks: each of four colors鈥攔ed, green, blue, and Page Number: yellow. Each set of disks of the same color is numbered from to . Suppose you draw one disk at random from the jar. Define events : get a red disk, and : get a disk with the number .
a. Make a two-way table that describes the sample space in terms of events and .
b. Find and .
c. Describe the event 鈥�and 鈥� in words. Then find the probability of this event.
d. Explain why Then use the general addition rule to compute
