Chapter 3: Q.9 (page 215)

Use the following information to answer the next six exercises. A jar of 150 jelly beans contains 22 red jelly beans. 38 yellow, 20 green. 28 purple. 26 blue, 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(R).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of P(R) is0.15

Step by step solution

01

introduction

Probability is just the way that logical something is to occur. Whenever we're uncertain about the result of an occasion, we can discuss the probabilities of specific results — how likely they are. The investigation of occasions administered by likelihood is called insights.

02

explanation

The probability of getting a red jelly bean is

Probability = NumberofredjellybeansTotal number ofbeans

Total red jelly beans = 22

Total beans = 150

The probability of getting a red jelly bean is 0.15

P(R)=22150=0.15

Forty-eight percent of all Californians registered voters prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. Among Latino California registered voters, 55%prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. 37.6%of all Californians are Latino. In this problem, let: • C = Californians (registered voters) preferring life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. L = Latino Californians. Suppose that one Californian is randomly selected.

In words, what is L AND C?

On February 28,2013, a Field Poll Survey reported that 61%of California registered voters approved of allowing two people of the same gender to marry and have regular marriage laws apply to them. Among 18to39year olds (California registered voters), the approval rating was 78%. Six in ten California registered voters said that the upcoming Supreme Court’s ruling about the constitutionality of California’s Proposition 8was either very or somewhat important to them. Out of those CA registered voters who support same-sex marriage, 75%say the ruling is important to them.

In this problem, let: •

C = California registered voters who support same-sex marriage. • B = California registered voters who say the Supreme Court’s ruling about the constitutionality of California’s Proposition 8 is very or somewhat important to them • A = California registered voters who are 18to39years old.

a. Find P(C).

b. Find P(B).

c. Find P(C|A).

d. Find P(B|C).

e. In words, what is C|A?

f. In words, what is B|C?

g. Find P(C AND B).

h. In words, what is C AND B?

i. Find P(C OR B).

j. Are C and B mutually exclusive events? Show why or why not

Use the following information to answer the next four exercises. Table 3.15 shows a random sample of musicians and how they learned to play their instruments

Find P(musician is a male AND had private instruction).

The probability that a man develops some form of cancer in his lifetime is 0.4567. The probability that a man has at least one false positive test result (meaning the test comes back for cancer when the man does not have it) is 0.51 Let: C = a man develops cancer in his lifetime; P = man has at least one false positive. Construct a tree diagram of the situation.

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.

Find the probability that an Emotional Health Index Score is more than 81?
