Ellie writes all 33 letters of the word Papponlekkintontontintoanstillegn on separate pieces of paper and put them in a bag. (a) Ellie takes a piece of paper from the bag at random and reads the letter on the piece of paper out loud. Describe this probability experiment formally by an appropriate probability space (Ω, F, P). (b) Describe the event 'Ellie reads a vowel' as a subset of the outcome space and determine the probability of this event occurring

I bought the soundtrack to a movie that had a total of 14 tracks. After listening to all of the tracks, I found that I liked 4 of the tracks. With the random feature on my player, each of the 14 tracks is played once in random order. What is the probability that among the first two songs played I like neither one?

The probability that a person in the United States has type B+ blood is 8%. Five unrelated people in the United States are selected at random. Complete parts (a) through (d). (a) Find the probability that all five have type B+ blood. The probability that all five have type B+ blood is nothing. (Round to six decimal places as needed.) (b) Find the probability that none of the five have type B+ blood. The probability that none of the five have type B+ blood is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) Find the probability that at least one of the five has type B+ blood. The probability that at least one of the five has type B+ blood is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (d) Which of the events can be considered unusual? Explain. Select all that apply. A. The event in part (a) is unusual because its probability is less than or equal to 0.05. B. The event in part (b) is unusual because its probability is…
Some students attend the doughnuts with dad even in the cafeteria before school. There are plain and jelly doughnuts available. Half of the people in the cafeteria are dads and half are kids. It was found that 80% of the dads chose plain doughnuts and 70% of the kids chose jelly doughnuts. If a person is selected at random and found to have chosen a plain doughnut, what is the probability it was a kid?
