In women’s tennis, a player must win 2 out of 3 sets to win a match. If a player wins the first 2 sets, she wins the match and the third set is not played. Player V and Player M will compete in a match. Player V and Player M have competed against each other many times. Historical data show that each player is equally likely to win the first set. If Player V wins the first set, the probability that she will win the second set is 0.60. If Player V loses the first set, the probability that she will lose the second set is 0.70. If Player V wins exactly one of the first two sets, the probability that she will win the third set is 0.45. What is the probability that Player V will win a match against Player M?
The selection of two apples from a bag of red and yellow apples without replacement. Assume that the bag has a total of 12 apples: 5 red and 7 yellow. 1. What is the probability that the second apple you pick is red? 2. What is the probability that you pick at least one red apple?
An outdoor basketball tournament consists of 3 days, from 7 April to 9 April. The weather of each day in April is classified as either sunny or rainy. The probability that 1 April is rainy is 0.5. The probability that a sunny day follows a sunny day is 0.75. The probability that a sunny day follows a rainy day is 0.25. Find the probability that 3 days is sunny in the tournament period.
An analyst is presented with lists of 4 stocks and 5 bonds. He is asked to predict, in order, the 2 stocks that will yield the highest return over the next year and the 2 bonds that will have the highest return over the next year. Suppose that these predictions are made randomly and independently of each other. What is the probability that the analyst will be successful in at least 1 of the 2 tasks?
A web server's visit always comes from five sites. The percentages of known visits from sites 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are 20%, 30%, 15%, 10% and 25% respectively. The probability of visits from five sites lasting more than 2 minutes is 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.2 and 0.9 respectively. Now randomly select a visit. What is the probability that the visit lasts more than 2 minutes? If the selected visit last more than 2 minutes, which sites does it most likely come from?
The genotype of an organism can be either normal (wild type, W) or mutant (M). Each generation, a wild type individual has probability 0.03 of having a mutant offspring, and a mutant has probability 0.005 of having a wild type offspring.
On average a certain intersection results in 3 traffic accidents per month. What is the probability that for any given month at this intersection: 5 or 6 accidents in half of a year?
Suppose that a bag contains one white chip and two red chips. Chips are going to be selected at random from the bag with replacement. What is the probability of selecting a white chip from the bag? What is the probability of selecting a red chip from the bag? Are the outcomes of selecting a white chip and selecting a red chip equally likely? Two chips are selected from the bag with replacement. Is the probability of selecting two white chips greater than, equal to, or less than the probability of selecting two red chips? Explain your answer.
