3. I throw a sequence of 3 darts at a dartboard, aiming for the centre. Assume each one of my throws is equally skillful-that is, I don't have a tendency to get better (or worse!) with each throw. Suppose my sec- ond throw is better than my first. What is the probability that my third throw will be better than my second? The next question is the one that really interests me: is this problem really the car goat goat problem in dis- guise? If so explain carefully why these two problems are really the same. If not, explain how they are dif- ferent.

I need help with A, B, C. Three friends (A, B, and C) will participate in a round-robin tournament in which each one plays both of the others. Suppose that P(A beats B) = 0.2P(A beats C) = 0.4P(B beats C) = 0.7 and that the outcomes of the three matches are independent of one another. (a) What is the probability that A wins both her matches and that B beats C? and What is the probability that A wins both her matches? (b) What is the probability that A loses both her matches? (c) What is the probability that each person wins one match? (Hint: There are two different ways for this to happen.)
1. In the casino game Roulette, a bet on “red” will win if the ball lands on one of the 18 red numbers of the 38 numbers on the wheel, with each number being equally likely. You want to run a simulation that will estimate the probability of a player winning both bets when betting on red twice. Which of the following would be an appropriate setup for the simulation: I. Use a table of random digits to select one number from 01 to 38 and then a second number from 01 to 38. If the first number is between 01 and 18 and the second number is between 01 and 18, then the player has won both rounds. II. Use a table of random digits to select two numbers 01-38, without repeats. If both numbers are between 01 and 18, then the player has won both rounds. III. Use a table of random digits to select two numbers 01-19, allowing repeats. If both numbers are between 01 and 09, then the player has won both rounds. (A) I (B) II (C) III (D) I and II (E) I and III
Solve the following probabilty problem: Doris and her friend plan to travel to Florida during the winter intersession period. Based upon the past experience they know that the probability that they go by car is 0.4 and the probability that they go by plane is 0.2. What is the probability that they travel to Florida by car or plane only?

The route used by a certain motorist in commuting to work contains two intersections with traffic signals. The probability that he must stop at the first signal is 0.45, the analogous probability for the second signal is 0.5, and the probability that he must stop at at least one of the two signals is 0.9. (a) What is the probability that he must stop at both signals? X (b) What is the probability that he must stop at the first signal but not at the second one? X (c) What is the probability that he must stop at exactly one signal?
