Chapter 5: R5.6 - Review Exercises (page 356)

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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Events are not mutually exclusive .

(b) Events are not independent .

(c) Required probability is512.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) - Step 1 : Given Information 

We are given that we have 9pizzas in the oven: 3of the 9have thick crust and 2of the 3thick-crust pizzas have mushrooms. Of the remaining 6pizzas , 4have mushrooms . We need to find if the events 鈥渢hick-crust pizza鈥 and 鈥減izza with mushrooms鈥 mutually exclusive .

02

Part (a) - Step 2 : Explanation

For events to be mutually exclusive when (AB)=0

The given events are not mutually exclusive because thick crust pizza have common things with mushroom . So the given events are not mutually exclusive .

03

Part (b) - Step 1 : Given Information 

We are given that we have 9pizzas in the oven: 3of the 9have thick crust and 2of the 3thick-crust pizzas have mushrooms. Of the remaining 6pizzas , 4 have mushrooms . We are required to find if the events 鈥渢hick-crust pizza鈥 and 鈥減izza with mushrooms鈥 independent .

04

Part (b) - Step 2 : Explanation 

Let A be thick crust and Let B= mushrooms

P(A/B) =P(A)

2347

P(B/A) = P(B)

1237

Since the probabilities are not equal, these events are not independent .
05

Part (c) - Step 1 : Given Information

We are given 9pizzas and we randomly select 2of the pizzas in the oven. We need to find the probability that both pizzas have mushroom .

06

Part (c) - Step 2 : Explanation

The required probability is P (first pizza to be mushroom one )P(second mushroom pizza)

Required probability =6958

=512

Which of the following is a correct way to perform the simulation?

a. Let integers from 1to34represent making a free throw and 35to50represent missing a free throw. Generate 50random integers from1to50. Count the number

of made free throws. Repeat this process many times.

b. Let integers from 1to34represent making a free throw and 35to50represent missing a free throw. Generate 50 random integers from 1 to 50 with no repeats

allowed. Count the number of made free throws. Repeat this process many times.

c. Let integers from1to56represent making a free throw and 57to100represent missing a free throw. Generate 50 random integers from1to100.Count the number of made free throws. Repeat this process many times.

d. Let integers from localid="1653986588937" 1to56represent making a free throw and localid="1653986593808" 57to100represent missing a free throw. Generate 50 random integers from localid="1653986598680" 1to100with no repeats allowed. Count the number of made free throws. Repeat this process many times.

e. None of the above is correct.

Matching suits A standard deck of playing cards consists of 52 cards with 13 cards in each of four suits: spades, diamonds, clubs, and hearts. Suppose you shuffle the deck thoroughly and deal 5 cards face-up onto a table.

a. What is the probability of dealing five spades in a row?

b. Find the probability that all 5 cards on the table have the same suit.

Lefties A website claims that 10%of U.S. adults are left-handed. A researcher believes that this figure is too low. She decides to test this claim by taking a random sample of 20U.S. adults and recording how many are left-handed. Four of the adults in the sample are left-handed. Does this result give convincing evidence that the website鈥檚 10%claim is too low? To find out, we want to perform a simulation to estimate the probability of getting 4or more left-handed people in a random sample of size 20from a very large population in which 10%of the people are left-handed.

Let 00to 09indicate left-handed and 10to 99 represent right-handed. Move left to Page Number: 311right across a row in Table D. Each pair of digits represents one person. Keep going until you get20 different pairs of digits. Record how many people in the simulated sample are left-handed. Repeat this process many, many times. Find the proportion of trials in which4 or more people in the simulated sample were left-handed.
