(a) Can we use the binomial experiment model to determine the probability of four outcomes of type A, five of type B, and one of type C? Explain. No. A binomial probability model applies to only two outcomes per trial. Yes. Each outcome has a probability of success and failure. No. A binomial probability model applies to only one outcome per trial. Yes. A binomial probability model applies to three outcomes per trial. (b) Can we use the binomial experiment model to determine the probability of four outcomes of type A and six outcomes that are not of type A? Explain. Yes. Assign outcome A to "success" and outcomes B and C to "failure." Yes. Assign outcome C to "success" and outcomes A and B to "failure." Yes. Assign outcome B to "success" and outcomes A and C to "failure." No. A binomial probability model applies to only two outcomes per trial. What is the probability of success on each trial?

Dividing a JackpotA game between two players consists of tossing a coin. Player A gets a point if the coin shows heads, and player B gets a point if it shows tails. The first player to get six points wins an 8,000 jackpot. As it happens, the police raid the place when player A has five points and B has three points. After everyone has calmed down, how should the jackpot be divided between the two players? In other words, what is the probability of A winning and that of B winning if the game were to continue? The French Mathematician Pascal and Fermat corresponded about this problem, and both came to the same correct calculations though by very different reasonings. Their friend Roberval disagreed with both of them. He argued that player A has probability 34 of winning, because the game can end in the four ways H, TH, TTH, TTT and in three of these, A wins. Robervals reasoning was wrong. a Continue the game from the point at which it was interrupted, using either a coin or a modeling program. Perform the experiment 80 or more times, and estimate the probability that player A wins. bCalculate the probability that player A wins. Compare with your estimate from part a.

Flexible Work Hours In a recent survey, people were asked whether they would prefer to work flexible hours----even when it meant slower career advancement----so they could spend more time with their families. The figure shows the results of the survey. What is the probability that three people chosen at random would prefer flexible work hours?

Dividing a Jackpot A game between two pIayers consists of tossing coin. Player A gets a point if the coin shows heads, and player B gets a point if it shows tails. The first player to get six points wins an $8000 jackpot. As it happens, the police raid the place when player A has five points and B has three points. After everyone has calmed down, how should the jackpot be divided between the two players? In other words, what is the probability of A winning (and that of B winning) if the game were to continue? The French mathematicians Pascal and Fermat corresponded about this problem, and both came to the same correct conclusion (though by very different reasoning's).
