Set up an appropriate sample space for each of Problems 1.1 to 1.10 and use itto solve the problem. Use either a uniform or non-uniform sample space or try both.

A trick deck of cards is printed with the hearts and diamonds black, and the spadesand clubs red. A card is chosen at random from this deck (after it is shuffled). Findthe probability that it is either a red card or the queen of hearts. That it is eithera red face card or a club. That it is either a red ace or a diamond.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required sample space for the given problem is all the cards.

The probability of a card drawn is either a red card or the queen of hearts is 2752.

The probability that the card drawn is either a red face card or a club is 413.

The probability that the card drawn is either a red ace or a diamond is1552.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of trick deck of card 

The deck of cards in which the cards are adjusted in a different way for playing some tricks with cards. In number of cards remain same, that is 52. The cards are mostly tricked for performing magic tricks.

02

Creation of Sample Space

In a deck of card, there are 52 cards of 4 suits namely spade, club, diamond and heart, out of which spade and club are black and diamond and heart are red.

There are 13 cards of each suit and 26 cards of each color.

In the tricked deck, there are 52 cards of 4 suits namely spade, club, diamond and heart, out of which spade and club are red and diamond and heart are black.

There are 13 cards of each suit and 26 cards of each color.

The Sample space is all the cards, that is 52.

03

Determination of the probability that is either a red card or the queen of hearts

Each point of the obtained sample space has an equal probability of 152

In this deck of card, there is 1 queen of hearts(which is no red) and 26 red cards, this implies that total number of possibility for a card to be an queen of heart or red is expressed as follows,

1+26=27

Find the probability that the card drawn is either a red card or the queen of hearts by adding the probabilities of each possible outcomes, that is 27 times 152.

p=27152

Thus, the probability of a card drawn is either a red card or the queen of hearts is2752.

04

Determination ofthe probability that it is either a red face card or a club

In a deck of card, there are 13 club cards(which are red) and 6 red face cards out of which 3are of clubs, this implies that total number of possibility for a card to be a red face card or a club is expressed as follows,

13+6-3=16

Find the probability that the card drawn is either a red face card or a clubby adding the probabilities of each possible outcomes, that is 16 times152.

p=16152=413

Thus, the probability that the card drawn is either a red face card or a club is413.

05

Determination ofthe probability that the card drawn is either a red ace or a diamond

In this deck of card, there are 2 red aces and 13 diamond cards, this implies that total number of possibility for a card to be either a red ace or a diamondis2+13=15

Find the probability that the card drawn is either a red ace or a diamond by adding the probabilities of each possible outcomes, that is 15 times 152

p=15152

Thus, the probability that the card drawn is either a red ace or a diamond is1552

Most popular questions from this chapter

(a) A weighted coin has probability of 23of showing heads and 13of showing tails. Find the probabilities of in two tosses of the coin. Set up the sample space and the associated probabilities. Do the probabilities add to 1 as they should? What is the probability of at least one head? What is the probability of two heads if you know there was at least one head?

(b) For the coin in (a), set up the sample space for three tosses, find the associated probabilities, and use it to answer the questions in Problem 2.12.

(a) Set up a sample space for the 5 black and 10 white balls in a box discussed above assuming the first ball is not replaced. Suggestions: Number the balls, say 1 to 5 for black and 6 to 15 for white. Then the sample points form an array something like (2.4), but the point 3,3 for example is not allowed. (Why?

What other points are not allowed?) You might find it helpful to write the

numbers for black balls and the numbers for white balls in different colors.

(b) Let A be the event 鈥渇irst ball is white鈥 and B be the event 鈥渟econd ball is

black.鈥 Circle the region of your sample space containing points favorable to

A and mark this region A. Similarly, circle and mark region B. Count the

number of sample points in A and in B; these are and . The region

AB is the region inside both A and B; the number of points in this region is

. Use the numbers you have found to verify (3.2) and (3.1). Also find

and and verify (3.3) numerically.

(c) Use Figure 3.1 and the ideas of part (b) to prove (3.3) in general.

A true coin is tossed 104 times.

(a) Find the probability of getting exactly 5000 heads.

(b) Find the probability of between4900and 5075 heads.

Set up an appropriate sample space for each of Problems 1.1 to 1.10 and use itto solve the problem. Use either a uniform or non-uniform sample space or try both.

A letter is selected at random from the alphabet. What is the probability that it is one of the letters in the word 鈥減robability?鈥 What is the probability that it occurs in the first half of the alphabet? What is the probability that it is a letter after x?

You are trying to find instrument A in a laboratory. Unfortunately, someone has put both instruments A and another kind (which we shall call B) away in identical unmarked boxes mixed at random on a shelf. You know that the laboratory has 3 A鈥檚 and 7 B鈥檚. If you take down one box, what is the probability that you get an A? If it is a B and you put it on the table and take down another box, what is the probability that you get an A this time?
