(Ch. 2.1) A library has 5 copies of a certain book in stock. Two copies (1 and 2) are first printings, and the other three (3,4 and 5) are second printings. A student finds these copies on a shelf and begins to examine in random order, stopping when he finds a second printing of the book. For example, one possible outcome is (5), and another is (2,1,3) (a) List the outcomes in the sample space 8. (b) Let A denote the event that exactly one book must be examined. What outcomes are in A? (c) Let B be the event that book 4 is the one selected. What outcomes are in B?

Let A and B be the two possible outcomes of an experiment and suppose P(A) = 0.4, P(AUB) = 0.7 And P(B) = P. (i) For what choice of p are A and B mutually exclusive? (ii) For what choice of p are A and B independent?
The outcome of two variables are (Low, Medium, High) and (On, Off) respectively. An experiment is conducted in which the outcomes of each of the two variables is observed. The outcomes are given in the following table. Low Medium High On 25 30 55 Off 50 45 205 Consider the following events: A:{On} B:{Medium or On} C:{Off and Low} a) Find P(A) = b) Find P(B) = c) Find P (C) d) Find P(A) = e) Find P(A or B) = f) Find P(A and B)
If P (Event A)=0.2 and P(Event B)=0.3, and the two events are disjoint, then P (Event A and Event B) is?
Consider two random events A and B. Event Ac is the complement of event A, and Bc is the complement of B. P(A) =0.64. P(B) = 0.3, and P(A and B) =0.192. Then we can say that the two events A and B are
In the city of Savannah, Georgia, 22% of young couples take wedding pictures along the Riverwalk (R), and 42% of young couples take wedding pictures in one of the many historical squares (S) throughout the city. However, only 14% of young couples take wedding pictures along the Riverwalk and in the squares. Are these two events independent of each other? Include the reason why or why not. A. The events aren't independent, because P(R) × P(S) ≠ P(P and S). B. The events are independent, because P(R) × P(S) ≠ P(P and S). C. The events aren't independent, because P(R) × P(S) = P(P and S). D. The events are independent, because P(R) × P(S) = P(P and S)
I need help on both questions. Thank you in advance!
P(A) = 0.37, P(B) = 0.20, and P(A∩B) = 0.074. Are events A and B independent? Justify the answer mathematically. No, because 0.37 + 0.20 ≠ 0.074 Yes, because (0.37)(0.20) = 0.074 No, because (0.37)(0.20) = 0.074 Yes, because 0.37 + 0.20 ≠ 0.074
A favorite casino game of dice “craps” is played in the following manner: A player starts by rolling a pair of balanced dice. If the roll (the sum of two numbers showing on the dice) results in a 7 or 11, the player wins. If the roll results in a 2 or 3 (called “craps”) the player loses. For any other roll outcome, the player continues to throw the dice until the original roll outcome recurs (in which case the player wins) or until a 7 occurs (in which case the player loses). When answering the following questions, you can use this outcome chart for the roll of two dice: Provide the probability answers in fraction and in decimal forms rounded to 4 digits. A. List the possible outcomes (sample space) for winning on the first roll of the dice. B. What is the probability that a player wins the game on the first roll of the dice? C. List the possible outcomes (sample space) for losing on the first roll of the dice. D. What is the probability that a player loses the game on the…
