In a game show, a contestant is presented with three doors: Door A, Door B, and Door C. Behind one of these doors is a car, and behind the other two are goats. The contestant picks one door, say Door A, and the host, who knows what's behind each door, opens another door, say Door B, revealing a goat. The contestant is then given the choice to stick with their original choice (Door A) or switch to the remaining unopened door (Door C). What is the probability of winning the car if the contestant decides to switch doors?
In a competition, two people will be selected from four finalists to receive the first and second prizes. The prize winners will be selected by drawing names from a hat. The names of the four finalists are Anne, Ben, Collin, and Daisy. The possible outcomes can be represented as follows. АВ, АС, AD, BC, BD, CD, ВА, СА, DA, CВ, DB, DC Here, for example, AD represents the outcome that Anne receives the first prize and Daisy receives the second prize. Let = event that Collin gets first prize Y = event that Daisy gets a prize Z= event that both price winners are boys.
At a county fair, you pay $2 to play the following game: You are given a fair coin, and two bags standin front of you, labelled Bag A and Bag B. You flip a coin: If your coin lands Heads, you pick a ballfrom Bag A. If your coin lands tails, you pick a ball from Bag B. Each ball has a dollar value written onit, and you win the number of dollars shown on the ball. • Bag A contains four (4) balls in total: Three (3) balls show $1, and one (1) ball shows $5.• Bag B contains three (3) balls in total: Two (2) balls show $2, and one (1) ball shows $3.You WIN money if you leave with more money than you started with. You LOSE money if you leavewith less money than you started with. You BREAK EVEN if you leave with the same money that youstarted with.Let H denote the event that you flip heads, T denote the event that you flip tails, W the event that youwin, and L the event that you lose.(i) You pay to play exactly one game. What is the probability that you WIN given thatyou flipped a Heads?(ii)…
In a game, two coins are tossed. If either of the coins comes up heads, you have won a prize. To claim the prize, you must point to one of your coins that is a head and say 'look, that coin's a head, I've won'. You watch Fred play the game. He tosses the two coins, and he points to a coin and says 'look, that coin's a head, I've won'. What is the probability that the other coin is a head?

Four puppies, Bruno, Kitty, O'Reilly, and Sweetie, competed in the Annual Puppies of the World Fair. Prizes were awarded for the top three competitors as follows: first place received a Red Ribbon, second place received a Yellow Ribbon, and third place received a Blue Ribbon. Three members of the audience predicted how the prizes would be awarded. • Lucie predicted that Sweetie would win a Red Ribbon, Kitty would win a Yellow Ribbon, and O'Reilly would win a Blue Ribbon. • Jenn predicted that Bruno would win a Red Ribbon, Sweetie would win a Yellow Ribbon, and O'Reilly would win a Blue Ribbon. • Brenton predicted that Kitty would win a Red Ribbon, Bruno would win a Yellow Ribbon, and Sweetie would win a Blue Ribbon. It turns out that each audience member predicted exactly one prize winner correctly. Determine which dog won which prize.
