A kindergarten class has four left-handed children and eleven right-handed children. Two children are selected without replacement for a shoe-tying lesson. Let X = the number who are left-handed. (a) The simple events in the sample space are {RR, RL, LR, LL}. For instance, one simple event is RL, indicating that the first child is right-handed and the second one is left-handed. Find the probability for each of the simple events in the sample space. (Hint: A tree diagram may help you solve this.) P(RR)= P(RL) = P(LR) = P(LL) = (b) Find the probability distribution function for X. k P(X = k)

Based on a survey, assume that 33% of consumers are comfortable having drones deliver their purchases. Suppose we want to find the probability that when six consumers are randomly selected, exactly three of them are comfortable with the drones. What is wrong with using the multiplication rule to find the probability of getting three consumers comfortable with drones followed by three consumers not comfortable, as in this calculation: (0.33)(0.33)(0.33)(0.67)(0.67)(0.67) = 0.0108? Choose the correct answer below. A. The event that a consumer is comfortable with drones is not mutually exclusive with the event that a consumer is not comfortable with drones. B. The probability of the second consumer being comfortable with drones cannot be treated as being independent of the probability of the first consumer being comfortable with drones. O C. There are other arrangements consisting of three consumers who are comfortable and three who are not. The probabilities corresponding to those other…
