Advanced Probability: You have two coins. One coin is fair but the other is unfair. The unfair coin has a probability of heads of 0.7 and a probability of tails of 0.3. If you flip a coin (not knowing if its fair or unfair type) and it shows up heads, then you flip it again. If the coin is tails then you flip the other coin. a) Draw a tree diagram. b) What is the probability that you will get at least two heads?

A poker player holds a flush when all five cards in the hand belong to the same suit (clubs, diamonds, hearts, or spades). We will find the probability of a flush when five cards are drawn in succession from the top of the deck. Remember that a deck contains 52 cards, 13 of each suit, and that when the deck is well shuffled, each card drawn is equally likely to be any of those that remain in the deck. The probability of drawing five spades in succession from the top of the deck is the product of the five probabilities you have found. Why? The probability of a flush in spades is the product of the probabilities due to the general multiplication rule which applies for determining the probability of dependent events occurring simultaneously. the multiplication rule for independent events which applies for determining the probability of at least one or more dependent events occurring. the general multiplication rule which applies for determining the…
In a group of 80 students, there are 50 girls and 30 boys such that 65% of the girls graduated from private schools and 15% of the boys graduated from private schools. If a student is randomly selected from this group, find the probability that the selected student graduated from a private school (use the shown tree diagram for your solution). Private School girls Public School Private School boys Public School O 0.800 0.406 O 0.538 O 0.463
Suppose Katie took a four-question true-false test. If she answered each question true or false at random, what is the probability of the event that she answered exactly one of the questions incorrectly? Hint: Think of an outcome as a "word". For example, the word CIIC could represent the outcome that Katie answered the first and last questions correctly. Or, draw a tree diagram.
Box A contains 6 red and 10 white marbles. Box B contains 8 red and 5 white marbles. A marble is chosen from Box A and its color is recorded. That marble is then placed in Box B and a marble is chosen at random from Box B and its color is recorded. a. Fill in the probability tree to describe this situation. Red Red White Red White White b. Find the probability that a red marble is drawn second. c. Find the probability that you draw a white marble second, given the first marble drawn was white.
Make a tree diagram for this question: The probability that a consumer will be exposed to an advertisement for a certain product by seeing a commercial on television is 0.4 The probability that the consumer will be exposed to the product by seeing an advertisement on a billboard is 0.6. The two events, being exposed to the commercial and being exposed to the billboard ad, are assumed to be independent, what is the probability that he or she will be exposed to at least one of the ads?

Kylie has 12 pieces of candy left in her Halloween bag. There are 8 pieces of chocolate and 4 pieces of non-chocolate. She chooses a piece of candy at random and then chooses another piece of candy, without replacement. Draw a tree diagram to represent this situation and use it to calculate the probabilities that she picks:Two pieces of chocolate No chocolate At least one piece of non-chocolate One piece of each type
2. Two friends, David and Peta, often play squash and tennis with each other. Over the years they have found that David wins 3 out of every 5 rounds of squash and 1 out of every 4 tennis matches. If they play one match of squash and then one tennis match: (a) Draw a tree diagram to describe the situation. (b) Find the probability that David wins both matches. (c) Find the probability that Peta wins the second match.
Tom has a standard set of pool balls. If he were to draw one ball at random, what is the probability that it will be red or yellow? Give your answer in its simplest form.
When three athletes compete, the probability of winning the race for the first athlete (A1) is 1/3, the probability for the second athlete (A2) to win the race 1/4, and the probability for the third athlete (A3) to win the race 1/5. Athletes compete 2 times. What is the probability of winning the first race A1 and second race A2, or first race A1 and second race A3?Note: Use the tree diagram. The requested P(A1A2 or A1A3=P(A1A2UA1A3)=P(A1A2)+P(A1A3)
Choose an American adult at random. The probability that you choose a woman is 0.52. The probability that the person you choose has never married is 0.24. DRAW A TREE DIAGRAM to find the probability that the person you choose is a woman who has been married.
Keno is a casino game in which the player has a card with the numbers 1 through 80 on it. The player selects a set of k numbers from the card, where k can range from one to ifteen. The “caller” announces twenty winning numbers, chosen at random from the eighty. The amount won depends on how many of the called numbers match those the player chose. Suppose the player picks ten numbers. What is the probability that among those ten are six winning numbers?
