In a private school students can choose only of French, Spanish or Music as their Elective. In a group of students, the number of males and females studying Spanish,French or Music are given in a table below Find the probability that a randomly chosen student a) studies music b) studies music or is female c) is male, given that they do not study Spanish ii) Determine whether the events ‘a randomly chosen student is a male’ and ‘a randomly chosen student is studying Music’ are independent, justifying your answer. iii) Two students are randomly selected, without replacement, what is the probability thatthe first student studies Spanish and the second student studies French.

Consider a family with 4 children. Assume the probability that one child is a boy is 0.5 and the probability that one child is a girl is also 0.5, and that the events "boy" and "girl" are independent. (a) List the equally likely events for the gender of the 4 children, from oldest to youngest. (Let M represent a boy (male) and F represent a girl (female). Select all that apply.)

What is the probability that 8 of the chosen injuries are from vehicle crashes? (Usethe formula)b.) What is the probability that fewer than 5 of the chosen injuries are from vehiclecrashes? (Use the calculator)c.) What is the probability that more than 9 of the chosen injuries are from vehiclecrashes? (Use the calculator)d.) What is the probability that between 4 and 10 of the chosen injuries are from vehiclecrashes? (Use the calculator)e.) What is the expected number of such injuries to result from vehicle crashes?f.) What is the standard deviation of the number of injuries resulting from vehiclecrashes?
Twenty subjects volunteer for a study of a new cold medicine. Eight of the volunteers are ages 20-39, 6 are ages 40-59, and 6 are age 60 or older. If 8 volunteers are selected at random, find the following probabilities. a) the probability that all the volunteers selected are ages 20-39 b) the probability that 4 of the volunteers are ages 20-39 and 4 are age 60 or older. c) the probability that 4 of the volunteers are ages 40-59
There are three containers, A, B and C. Each container contains 25 balls, which are either red or blue. Container A has 15 red balls, container B has 16 red balls, and container C has 12 red balls. In a random experiment, one first randomly chooses a container, and then a ball is drawn from the chosen container. The probability of choosing container B in step 1 is 2/5 . The experiment is designed so that the events “the ball drawn is red” and “the ball drawn comes from container A” are independent. Suppose that the ball drawn is red. What is the probability that it came from container C?
