2. In his Fall Math256 class, 40% of the students studied at least 15 hours per week, 30% of the students received a 4.0, and 10% studied at least 15 hours per week and received a 4.0. Find the probability of students who either studied 15 hours per week or received a 4.0?

  • a. 0.4
  • d0.7
  • c. 0.1
  • b. 0.6

3. Two high school seniors find themselves with much time and nothing to do. They decide to devise a computer game in which a cursor moves randomly along the x axis between 0 and 4. The game they play is to stop the cursor at random points between O and 4 without looking at the screen. Such a game results in a uniform distribution over the interval between 0 and 4 and resembles a density curve. The area covered when x< 2 is :

e. None of the above

 a. 0.125

 c. 2

 b 0.25

 d. 0.5

4. About 10% of students in Math256 will receive a 4.0. If I choose 3 Math256 students at random, find the probability that at least 2 students will receive a 4.0?

d. 0.972

c. 0.081

e. 0.1

а. 0.028

b. 0.333

5. A student takes at most 3 courses every quarter at GRC. Describe a sample space for the following.

Does the student take a course at GRC or not?

a. S=(Takes Math256, does not take Math256}

c. S={0,1,2}

b. S={takes a course at GRC, does not take a course at GRCI

d. S={takes 0 courses at GRC,takes 1 course at GRC, takes 2 courses at GRC,takes 3 or more course at GRC}

6. 30% of students take Physics 101 and 20% take Math256. Of the students who take Physics101, 25% also take Math256. If a student is chosen at random find

P( student takes Physics101 and Math256)

b. 0.2

c. 0.25

e 0.075

a. 0.3

d. 0.83
