Step by step solution

01

Given information

Suppose that you have eight cards.

Five are green and three are yellow.

The cards are well shuffled.

Suppose that you randomly draw two cards, one at a time, with replacement.

Let G1 = first card is green

Let G2 = second card is green

02

Part (a) Step 1: Explanation 

The probability of first card is green is given by P(G1)=58

The probability of second card is green is given by P(G2)=58

The probability of first card is yellow is given by P(Y1)=38

The probability of second card is yellow is given by

The tree diagram of the situation is well-explained below

03

Part (b) Step 1: Explanation 

P(G1ANDG2)=58×58=2564

04

Part (c) Step 1: Explanation 

Probability of at least one green

P(atleastonegreen)=P(GG)+P(GY)+P(YG)P(atleastonegreen)=58×58+58×38+38×58P(atleastonegreen)=2564+1564+1564P(atleastonegreen)=5564

05

Part (d) Step 1: Explanation 

P(G1G2)=P(G1ANDG2)P(G2)P(G1G2)=256458=58

06

Part (e) Step 1: Explanation 

Yes, they are independent because the first card is placed back in the bag before the second card is drawn; the composition of cards in the bag remains the same from draw one to draw two.

Use the following information to answer the next six exercises. A jar of 150jelly beans contains 22 red jelly beans, 38

yellow, 20green, 28purple, 26blue, and the rest are orange.

Let B = the event of getting a blue jelly bean

Let G = the event of getting a green jelly bean.

Let O = the event of getting an orange jelly bean.

Let P = the event of getting a purple jelly bean.

Let R = the event of getting a red jelly bean.

Let Y = the event of getting a yellow jelly bean.

Find P(O).

Let event A = learning Spanish. Let event B = learning German. Then A AND B = learning Spanish and German.Suppose P(A) = 0.4 and P(B) = 0.2. P(A AND B) = 0.08. Are events A and B independent? Hint: You must show ONE of the following:

• P(A|B) = P(A)

• P(B|A) = P(B)

• P(A AND B) = P(A)P(B)

Use the following information to answer the next 12exercises. The graph shown is based on more than 1,70,000interviews done by Gallup that took place from January through December 2012. The sample consists of employed Americans 18years of age or older. The Emotional Health Index Scores are the sample space. We randomly sample one Emotional Health Index Score.

What occupation has the highest emotional index score?
