These two diagrams display the same area. b. In the diagram below, the shaded area represents B. Using the diagram on the right above, the union of and B is represented by the areas that have either shading or stripes or both. Both of the diagrams display the same area. 0. a. {Chev, ont, Buick}, B {Ford, Merc}, C {lym, Chrys} are three mutually exclusive events. b. No, let E {Chev, ont}, F {ont, Buick}, G {Buick, Ford}. These events are not mutually exclusive e.g. E and F have an outcome in common, yet there is no outcome common to all three events. 5

10 4. a. B + B - B, so B + B - B b. shaded region B - B Shaded region event of interest B B 5. a. Let event E be the event that at most one purchases an electric dryer. Then E is the event that at least two purchase electric dryers. E E b. Let event be the event that all five purchase gas. Let event B be the event that all five purchase electric. ll other possible outcomes are those in which at least one of each type is purchased. Thus, the desired probability B a. There are six simple events, corresponding to the outcomes CD, CD, DC, DC, CD, and DC. The probability assigned to each is. b. C ranked first {CD, CD} +. c. C ranked first and D last {CD} 5

11 7. a. The probabilities do not add to because there are other software packages besides SSS and SS for which requests could be made. b c. B + B since and B are mutually exclusive events d. B [ B ] De Morgan s law - B This situation requires the complement concept. The only way for the desired event NOT to happen is if a 75 W bulb is selected first. Let event be that a 75 W bulb is selected first, and 5. Then the desired event is event. 9 So Let event be that the selected joint was found defective by inspector. 0, 000. Let event B be analogous for inspector B. B 75 0, 000. Compound event B is the event that the selected joint was found defective by at least one of the two inspectors. B 59 0, 000. a. The desired event is B, so we use the complement rule: 59 B - B - 0, , b. The desired event is B. B B - B. B + B - B, So B B - B Let S, S and S represent the swing and night shifts, respectively. Let C and C represent the unsafe conditions and unrelated to conditions, respectively. a.

15 Section. 9. a choices for president, 4 remain for vice president b !!! c. 0 No ordering is implied in the choice 0. a. Because order is important, we ll use 8, 87. b. Order doesn t matter here, so we use C 0, 59, c. From each group we choose : 8, 0 8,0 59,775 d. The numerator comes from part c and the denominator from part b:. 4 e. We use the same denominator as in part d. We can have all zinfandel, all merlot, or all cabernet, so all same all z + all m + all c , a. n n 97 4 b. n n n , so such a policy could be carried out for 45 successive nights, or approximately 0 years, without repeating exactly the same program.

18 5. There are 0 possible outcomes -- 5 ways to select the positions for B s votes: BB, BB, BB, BB, BB, BB, BB, BB, BB, and BB. Only the last two have ahead of B throughout the vote count. Since the outcomes are equally likely, the desired probability is a. n, n 4, n 5, so n n n 0 runs b. n, just one temperature, n, n 5 implies that there are 0 such runs. 7. There are 5 0 ways to select the 5 runs. Each catalyst is used in different runs, so the number of ways of selecting one run from each of these 5 groups is 5. Thus the desired probability is a. selecting - 75 watt bulbs b. all three are the same c

19 d. To examine exactly one, a 75 watt bulb must be chosen first. ways to accomplish this. To examine exactly two, we must choose another wattage first, then a 75 watt. 9 ways. Following the pattern, for exactly three, 9 8 ways; for four, ; for five, examine at least bulbs examine 5 or less examine exactly or or or 4 or 5 [one + two + + five] [ ] a. We want to choose all of the 5 cordless, and 5 of the 0 others, to be among the first serviced, so the desired probability is. 089 b. Isolating one group, say the cordless phones, we want the other two groups represented in the last 5 serviced. So we choose 5 of the 0 others, except that we don t want to include the outcomes where the last five are all the same. 0 5 So we have But we have three groups of phones, so the desired probability is c. We want to choose of the 5 cordless, of the 5 cellular, and of the corded phones:

20 40. a. If the s are distinguishable from one another, and similarly for the B s, C s and D s, then there are! ossible chain molecules. Six of these are: B C C D C D D B B, B C C D C D D B B B C C D C D D B B, B C C D C D D B B B C C D C D D B B, B C C D C D D B B These! differ only with respect to ordering of the s. In general, groups of chain molecules can be created such that within each group only the ordering of the s is different. When the subscripts are suppressed, each group of collapses into a single molecule B s, C s and D s are still distinguishable. t this point there are! molecules. Now suppressing subscripts on the B s, C s and D s in turn gives!! ultimately 9, 00 chain molecules. 4! b. Think of the group of s as a single entity, and similarly for the B s, C s, and D s. Then there are 4! Ways to order these entities, and thus 4! Molecules in which the s are contiguous, the B s, C s, and D s are also. Thus, all together! a. at least one F among st no F s among st n alternative method to calculate no F s among st would be to choose none of the females and of the 4 males, as follows: , obviously producing the same result b. all F s among st c. orderings are different orderings are the same for both semesters # orderings such that the orders are the same each semester/total # of possible orderings for semesters

21 4. Seats: 4 J& in & J& next to each other J& in & + + J& in 5& at least one H next to his W no H next to his W We count the # of ways of no H next to his W as follows: # if orderings without a H-W pair in seats # and and no H next to his W * 4 * # 48 * pair, # can t put the mate of seat # here or else a H-W pair would be in #5 and. # of orderings without a H-W pair in seats # and, and no H next to his W 4 # 9 # can t be mate of person in seat # or #. So, # of seating arrangements with no H next to W nd no H next to his W, so at least one H next to his W # of 0 high straights s, 4 9 s, etc ,598, high straight straight Multiply by 0 because there are 0 different card values that could be high: ce, King, etc. There are only 40 straight flushes 0 in each suit, so straight flush

Let event be that the individual is more than feet tall. Let event B be that the individual is a professional basketball player. Then B the probability of the individual being more than feet tall, knowing that the individual is a professional basketball player, and B the probability of the individual being a professional basketball player, knowing that the individual is more than feet tall. B will be larger. Most professional BB players are tall, so the probability of an individual in that reduced sample space being more than feet tall is very large. The number of individuals that are pro BB players is small in relation to the # of males more than feet tall. 8

The pieces of this equation can be found in your answers to exercise section.:

24 49. The first desired probability is both bulbs are 75 watt at least one is 75 watt. at least one is 75 watt none are 75 watt Notice that [both are 75 wattat least one is 75 watt] both are 75 watt So both bulbs are 75 watt at least one is 75 watt. 74 Second, we want same rating at least one NOT 75 watt. at least one NOT 75 watt both are 75 watt Now, [same ratingat least one not 75 watt] both 40 watt or both 0 watt. both 40 watt or both 0 watt Now, the desired conditional probability is a.
