(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?

Example 21.5) The following table shows three states of nature (events) and three actions. The amount that a person will gain in each combination of state of nature and action is shown in the table. Prob- abilities for three states of nature are also given. Action A¡ (Rs) A2 (Rs) A3 (Rs) State of Nature (Event) S, S2 S3 25,000 30,000 40,000 -7,000 50,000 25,000 -18,000 -8,000 60,000 State of nature S3 S2 0.5 Probability 0.3 0.2 (i) Find out values of EP, EPPI and EVPI. (ii) A research firm has agreed to conduct a survey to provide the management with additional infor- mation regarding the states of nature. It will charge Rs 12,000 for undertaking this survey. Do ou think that the survey should be conducted? you
According to KRomenx, Snell, and Thompson, 2 the Land of Oz is blessed by many things, but not by good weather. They never have two nice days in a row. If they have a nice day, they are just as likely to have snow as rain the next day. If they have snow or rain, they have an even chance of having the same the next day. If there is change from snow or rain, only half of the time is this a change to a nice day. DRAW TRANSITION GRAPH AND PROBABLOLITY MATRIX
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
Let A and B be two events with P(A and Bc) = 1. Find P(B). Recall that Bc denotes the complement of the event B.
Example 3-22. If 6n tickets numbered 0, 1, 2, ..., 6n – 1 are placed in a bag and three are drawn out, show that the chance that the sum of the numbers on them is equal to 6n is 3n(6n – 1) (6n – 2).
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)
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
The market research department at a manufacturing plant determines that 30% of the people who purchase the plant's product during any month will not purchase it the next month. On the other hand, 40% of the people who do not purchase the product during any month will purchase it the next month. In a population of 1000 people, 100 people purchased the product this month. How many will purchase the product next month and in 2 months? (a) next month _________ people (b) in 2 months ________ people
