5. The Toronto Blue Jays are going to the playoffs! Let's consider a best of three playoff series. If the Jays win every game they play with probability, then what is the probability that the Jays will win their best of three series? A best of three series means the first team to win 2 games wins the series.

5. The Toronto Blue Jays are going to the playoffs! Let's consider a best of three playoff series. If the Jays win every game
they play with probability, then what is the probability that the Jays will win their best of three series? A best of three
series means the first team to win 2 games wins the series.
6. A fair coin is tossed until either a head comes up or four tails are obtained. What is the expected number of tosses?
7. Suppose that a certain tech company sources their chips from three different factories, F₁, F2 and F3. Suppose the percent-
ages of each shipment that are defective are 10%, 8% and 3% respectively. Factory F₁ supplies 20%, F₂ supplies 30% and
F3 supplies 50% of the chips to the tech company. Suppose quality control selects a chip at random and it is defective. What
is the probability the chip came from factory F₂?
8. A treasure chest contains 25 gold coins and 15 silver coins. Two are chosen at random one after the other, without replace-
ment (ie, once you take the first one out, there are now 39 coins in the chest).
(a) Use a tree diagram to help calculate the following probabilities:
• the probability that both coins are gold
• the probability that the first coin is gold and second is not
• the probability that the first coin is silver and the second is gold

Expert Solution
Step 1

5) 

Given :

Let W represent that jace will win

L represents that jace will loose

Therefore, p(W) =3/5

P(L)=1-3/5 =2/5
