18.18 Colors of M&Ms. If you draw an M&M candy at random from a bag of the candies, the candy you draw will have one of six colors. The probability of drawing each color depends on the proportion of each color among all candies made. a. Here are the probabilities of each color for a randomly chosen plain M&M produced at the New Jersey factory: Color: Blue Orange Green Yellow Red Brown Probability: 0.250 0.250 0.125 0.125 0.125 What must be the probability of drawing a brown candy? b. The probabilities for plain M&Ms produced at the Tennessee factory are a bit different. Here they are: Color: Blue Orange Green Yellow Red Brown Probability: 0.207 0.205 0.198 0.135 0.131 ? What is the probability that an M&M chosen at random from the Tennessee factory is brown? c. What is the probability that a plain M&M from the New Jersey factory is any of blue, yellow, or orange? What is the probability that a plain M&M from the Tennessee factory has one of these colors?

If you draw an M&M candy at random from a bag of the candies, the candy you draw will have one of six colours. The probability of drawing each colour depends on the proportion of each colour among all candies made. Assume the table below gives the probabilities for the colour of a randomly chosen M&M: Colour Probability 0.1 What is the probability of not drawing a green candy?

your text, involving the selection of colored balls from two bags. Assume that each bag contains 4 balls. Bag a contains 2 red and 2 white, while bag b contains 1 red, 2 white, and 1 blue. You randomly select one ball from bag a, note the color, and place the ball in bag b. You then select a ball from bag b at random and make note of its color. (1) What is the probability that both balls are red? (2) What is the probability that both balls are red given that the first ball you drew was red?

You have entered an axe-throwing competition. To enter the competition, you must pay a flat fee of $20. Each contestant is allotted eight throws. You left your glasses at home and thus are facing greater odds than would normally be expected from a talented athlete such as yourself. Hitting the target in the center wins you $5. You have a 1/8 probability of hitting the center Hitting the target in the second ring wins you $3. you have a 2/8 probability of hitting the second ring Hitting the target in the third ring wins you $1. You have a 4/8 probability of hitting the third ring Missing the target wins you $0. you have a 1/8 probability of missing the target. Each throw is considered an event, so the following equation tells us the expected outcome per throw, which can be multiplied by 8 for the total expected outcome of the game. E=-2.5(8/8)+5(1/8)+3(2/8)+1(4/8)+0(1/8) E=-2.5+(5/8)+(3/4)+(1/2)+0 E=(-5/8) E=-0.625 8E=-5 2. The expected value of the game is -$5 3. This is not…

Ponderosa Paint and Glass carries three brands of paint. A customer wants to buy another gallon of paint to match paint she purchased at the store previously. She can’t recall the brand name and does not wish to return home to find the old can of paint. So, she selects two of the three brands of paint at random and buys them. What is the probability that she matched the paint brand? Her husband also goes to the paint store and fails to remember what brand to buy. So, he also purchases two of the three brands of paint at random. Determine the probability that both the woman and her husband fail to get the correct brand of paint. (Hint: Are the husband’s selections independent of the wife’s selections?)

One quality characteristic for cabinet manufacturers is easy sliding drawers. A drawer is considered easy sliding if it does not get stuck when opened. His- torically, only 2% of the drawers get stuck. Ten drawers are randomly selected from a new lot. Each drawer is tested and all 10 must be easy sliding before the new lot is shipped. a. Find the probability that the lot will be shipped. b. Find the probability that at least one drawer will get stuck. c. Find the expected number of stuck drawers, the variance, and the standard deviation.
