Imagine that a single die is tossed. (i) Let A be the event that an odd number came up. Let B be the event that a number less than or equal to 5 came up. Compute P(A|B) and use Bayes' Rule to compute P(B|A). (ii) Now let A be as in part (i) and let B be the event that a number less than or equal to 6 came up. Compute P(A|B) and use Bayes' Rule to compute P(B|A).

(a) There are 4 red balls and 6 blue balls in a bag. A ball is drawn at random from the bag. If the colour of the ball is red, it is returned to the bag and a second ball is drawn. If the colour is blue, the ball is not returned to the bag and a second ball is drawn. Find the probability that (i) both balls are blue the balls are of different colours. (iii) Find the value of x if x red balls are added into the bag and the probability that 81 both balls are red is 225
In a lottery game, a single ball is drawn at random from a container that contains 25 identical balls numbered from 1 through 25. Use the equation P(AUB)=P(A) + P(B)- P(ANB), where A and B are any events, to compute the probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12. The probability that the number drawn is prime or greater than 12 is (Type an integer or a decimal.) (...)
A poll of 220 students at a university reveals that 80 are taking a lab science course, and 55 are members of the Honors College, while 18 are taking a lab science and are members of the Honors College. Let L = the event that a student is taking a lab science, and H= the event that a student is a member of the Honors College. Complete parts (a) through (e) bel d. A student is randomly chosen. Find P(LH) and P((LH)) and explain what each number represents. P(LnH) (Simplify your answer.) = P((LnH)) = (Simplify your answer.) Explain what P(L n H) and P ((LH)) represent. Choose the correct answer below. O A. P(LnH) is the probability a student is taking a lab science and is a member of the Honors College. P ((LH)') is the probability a student is not taking a lab science or is not a member of the Honors College. O B. P(LnH) is the probability a student is taking a lab science or is a member of the Honors College. P ((LH)') is the probability a student is not taking a lab science or is not…
Suppose that in a certain large population, the proportion of people that have blood type O is 0.33. If 7 people are randomly and independently selected from this population, what is the probability that no more than one has blood type O? (Give your response to at least 3 decimal places.

A factory received a shipment of 15 capacitors, and the vendor who sold the items knows there are 8 capacitors in the shipment that are defective and 7 are not defective. Before the receiving foreman accepts the delivery, he samples the shipment, and if too many of the capacitors in the sample are defective, he will refuse the shipment. Give answer as a decimal to four decimal places.(a) If a sample of 6 capacitors is selected, find the probability that all in the sample are defective. (b) If a sample of 6 capacitors is selected, find the probability that 4 in the sample are defective. (c) If a sample of 3 capacitors is selected, find the probability that 1 in the sample are defective.

Consider 10 independent tosses of a biased coin with the probability of Heads at each toss equal to p, where 0 < p < 1. (a) Let A be the event that there are exactly 6 Heads in the first 8 tosses. Let B be the event that the 9th toss results in Heads. Find P(B | A) and express it in terms of p. (b) Find the probability that there are exactly 3 Heads in the first 4 tosses and exactly 2 Heads in the last 3 tosses. Express your answer in terms of p. (c) Given that there were exactly 4 Heads in the first 7 tosses, find the probability that the 2nd Heads occurred at the 4th toss. Give a numerical answer. (d) Find the probability that there are exactly 5 Heads in the first 8 tosses and exactly 3 Heads in the last 5 tosses.
A certain virus infects one in every 250 people. A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 90% of the time when the person has the virus and 10% of the time when the person does not have the virus. (This 10% result is called a false positive.) Let A be the event "the person is infected" and B be the event "the person tests positive." (a) Using Bayes' Theorem, when a person tests positive, determine the probability that the person is infected. (b) Using Bayes' Theorem, when a person tests negative, determine the probability that the person is not infected. (Do not round until final answer. Then round to three decimal places as needed.)
