Imagine a man on the grid below. A path is considered to be "valid' if it consists only "goright" and "go up"(hence the walker will reach B in 10 steps). This man starts at Node A andtake a "valid" path to reach B. Assume a valid path is taken randomly, with each path havingequal probability to be chosen.(a) Find the probability of that the man passes by Node S.(b) Given that the man passes by Node S, find the condition probability of passing by T.ВTSA

a. From the given information, Given that a man can go either right or up. Observe that a man can go…

Answered: Imagine a man on the grid below. A path…

A huge pencil bag contains 40 pencils of two different shades, 4B and 6B. Initially, there are x numbers of 6B pencils in the bag. If 45 more 6B pencils are put in the bag, the probability of randomly picking a 6B pencil now will be quadruple that of the previous probability of picking a 6B pencil. With the given information, evaluate the original number of 6B shade in the pencil bag.
Imagine an animal that shows two variants; one long-legged and one short-legged. Each female produces 2 female offspring per generation and then dies. The offspring of the long-legged ones survive to adulthood (reproductive age) with a probability of 55% and the offspring of the short-legged ones survive to adulthood with a probability of 45%. If you begin with a population of 60 females of each type, what proportion of individuals will have long legs in 5 generations? (Note that you can ignore males and count only females and their offspring.) Show all work.
An analyst is presented with lists of 4 stocks and 5 bonds. He is asked to predict, in order, the 2 stocks that will yield the highest return over the next year and the 2 bonds that will have the highest return over the next year. Suppose that these predictions are made randomly and independently of each other. What is the probability that the analyst will be successful in at least 1 of the 2 tasks?

A player pays a certain amount of money to randomly roll a 6-sided and a 4-sided die, both balanced. If the sum of the dice is less than 5 or greater than 9, the player receives a prize of $ 90. Otherwise he loses the money paid to play, in dollars and cents, to keep this game fair. Write only the number corresponding to the prize without a dollar sign and rounded to 2 decimal places.
There are two bags A and B. Bag A contains n white balls and 2 black balls while bag B contains 2 white balls and n black balls. One of the two bags is selected at random and two balls are drawn from it without replacement. We know that if both the balls drawn are white balls, the probability of bag A being selected to draw the balls is . Find the value of n.

A group of five students went to a hotel with 10 upper floors and a ground floor. The students simultaneously enter the elevator at the ground floor. The students choose their exit floors independently of each other. Determine the probability that they are all going to different floors when each student randomly chooses one of the 10 floors as their exit floor.
Suppose that you were challenged by a friend to hit the bull's eye of a circular board with two concentric circles namely the inner and the outer circles. Your probability of hitting a bull's eye from a distance is 0.05, the probability of hitting the outer circle is 0.75, and the probability of hitting the inner circle is 0.15. If you hit the bull's eye, he will give you 500 pesos. Hitting the inner circle will merit you 300 pesos and the outer circle, 100 pesos. How much is your expected winning? Select the correct response: 265 pesos none of these 95 pesos 145 pesos 335 pesos
XYZ Construction Company has three loaders operating every day in a construction site. During any day, each loader that is operating at the beginning of the day has a 0.25 chance of breaking down. If a loader breaks down during the day, it is sent to a repair station and will be working (operational) two days after it breaks down. (Thus, if a loader breaks down during day 3, it will be working at the beginning of day 5. Let the state of the system be the number of operational loaders at the beginning of the day. How many states does the system have?
