A coin is tossed once. Then, if it comes up heads, a die is thrown once; if the coin comes up tails, it is tossed twice more. Using the notation in which (H,2), for example, denotes the event that the coin comes up heads and then the die comes up 2, and (T,T,T) denotes the event the coin comes up tails three times in a row, list (a) the 10 elements of the sample space S; (b) the elements of S corresponding to event A that exactly one head occurs; (c) the elements of S corresponding to event B that at least two tails occur or a number greater than 4 occurs.

A probability experiment is conducted in which the sample space of the experiment is S= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}, event F = {3, 6, 7}, and event G = {9, 10, 12}.

A bag contains three different balls, one red (r), one blue(b), one white(w). TWO balls are drawn from the bag without replacement one after the other (at random without looking) and the colors recorded. This means once the first color is drawn, the first ball is kept out of the bag and only 2 colors remain when the second ball is drawn. List the sample space. [Use lower case letters for the colors, preserve the given order, commas separating pairs, no spaces.]

A probability experiment is conducted in which the sample space of the experiment is s= 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15, Let event A(2,3,4,5) and event B(12,13,14 Assume that each outcome is equally likely. List the outcomes in A and B. Are A and B mutually exclusive?
Example 7: If 3 balls are distributed to 4 cells, numbered as 1, 2, 3, 4. Find the probability that each cell numbered 1, 2, 3 will contain exactly one ball.
An number cube (a fair die) is rolled 3 times. For each roll, we are interested in whether the roll comes up even or odd. An outcome is represented by a string of the sort (meaning an odd number on the first roll, an even number on the second roll, and an even number on the third roll). For each outcome, let be the random variable counting the number of even rolls in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is , then . Suppose that the random variable is defined in terms of as follows: . The values of are given in the table below. Outcome Value of Calculate the probabilities of the probability distribution of . First, fill in the first row with the values of . Then fill in the appropriate probabilities in the second row. Value of
Flip two fair coins. Then the sample space is {HH, HT, TH, TT} where T = tails and H = heads. The outcomes HT and TH are different and the HT means that the first coin showed heads and the second coin showed tails. The TH means that the first coin showed tails and the second coin showed heads. Let A = the event of getting at least one tail while letting B = the event of getting all tails. What is the probability of event A ∩ B? a. 0.66 b. 0.50 c. 0.25 d. 0.75
Look at the 4 probability rules beow , an provide a REAL LIFE example for each. Also, with a Real LIfe EXAMPLE, explain how Disjoint events CAN be dependent. Rule 1. The probability P(A) of any event A satisfies 0 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1. Rule 2. If S is the sample space in a probability model, then P(S) = 1. Rule 3. Two events A and B are disjoint if they have no outcomes in common and so can never occur together. If A and B are disjoint, P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) This is the addition rule for disjoint events. Rule 4. For any event A, P(A does not occur) = 1 − P(A)
Let A and B be events in a sample space S. Show that if A and B are independent, then so are (a) A and B, (b) A and B, and (c) A and B.
In a lottery game, a player will pick at random a number from the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}. If the number picked is prime, the player wins P10. If the number picked is composite the player losses P10. If the number picked is 1 which is neither prime or composite, the player neither loss nor win anything. Let the random variable ? have the values 0, -10, & 10 representing the possible winnings of the player. Determine whether the game is advantageous or disadvantageous to the player. Please give the reason for your answer.
