Get started for freeRepeat Problem 21 if the players toss a pair of dice trying to get a double (that is, both dice showing the same number).
Some transistors of two different kinds (call them N and P) are stored in two boxes. You know that there are 6 N’s in one box and that 2 N’s and 3 P’s got mixed in the other box, but you don’t know which box is which. You select a box and a transistorfrom it at random and find that it is an N; what is the probability that it came from the box with the 6 N’s? From the other box? If another transistor is picked from the same box as the first, what is the probability that it is also an N?
Three coins are tossed; x = number of heads minus number of tails.
(a) One box contains one die and another box contains two dice. You select a box at random and take out and toss whatever is in it (that is, toss both dice if you have picked box 2 ). Let x=number of showing. Set up the sample space and associated probabilities for x .
(b) What is the probability of at least one3?
(c) If at least one 3 turns up, what is the probability that you picked the first box?
(d) Find xand.
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.
