Every day a kindergarten class chooses randomly one of the 50 state flags to hang on the wall, without regard to previous choices. We are interested in the flags that are chosen on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week. (a) Describe a sample space Ω and a probability measure P to model this experiment. (b) What are the probability that the class hangs Wisconsin's flag on Monday, Michigan's flag on Tuesday, and California's flag on Wednesday? (c) What is the probability that Wisconsin's flag will be hung at least two of the three days?

Find the conditional probability of the given event when two fair dice (one red and one green) are rolled. The red one is 1, given that the green one is 1. Step 1 Begin by considering the sample spaces and the probabilities of the outcomes. Recall that for the experiment of rolling two dice (the first one red and the second one green) and observing the face-up number on each die, the sample space S is the following 36-element set. 36 S = Recall also that since both dice are fair, the outcomes are equally likely; that is, the probability of any one outcome is the same as that of any other. Because probabilities are never negative and the sum of the probabilities of all outcomes in a sample space must be 1, the probability of any one of the 36 equally likely outcomes is 1 (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 1), (5,2), (5, 3), (5,…
Part B In randomized response study participants are asked a sensitive question. For example, how many alcoholic drinks they have per week. But instead of asking them directly, a second, less sensitive question is available. For example how many cups of coffee they drink which is known to be 3 on average. Then, a random draw is taken out of the two questions, for example, the sensitive question is drawn with probability 0.5 and the resulting question, sensitive or non-sensitive question is shown to the participant who is the only one who sees the question. Then, a response is recorded, for example the number 3. This could then mean, in the example, 3 alcoholic drinks per week or 3 cups of coffee per day. The motivation of doing it in this anonymous way is the aim to achieve a less biased response in comparison to asking directly. We assume here that the distribution of the non-sensitive question is completely known and the probability of selecting a sensitive question is 0.5. We assume…
We randomly select a batch of 40 computer disks for shipment. The probability of selecting a good disk is the same as the probability of selecting a defective disk. In part C, you will determine the probability that this shipment contains 10 defective disks and 30 good disks for our batch or 15 defective disks and 25 good disks for our batch. Note: I am not asking for an example of an outcome, although I may ask for examples of outcomes on the exam. A. What is the size of your sample space S? i.e., How many different outcomes (batches of 40 disks) in your sample space? What are the conditions? What counting technique(s) are you using? B. How many outcomes when randomly selecting 10 defective disks and 30 good disks for our batch or 15 defective disks and 25 good disks for our batch. What are the conditions? What counting technique(s) are you using? C What is the probability of randomly selecting a batch of 10 defective disks and 30 good disks or a batch of 15 defective disks and 25…
A study reports that 36% of companies in Country A have three or more female board directors. Suppose you select a random sample of 100 respondents. The probability is 99.7% that the sample percentage of Country A companies having three or more female board directors will be contained within what symmetrical limits of the population percentage? The probability is 99.7% that the sample percentage will be contained above ________% and below ________%. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
