It is known that bowl A₁ contains three red and seven blue chips and bowl A₂ contains eight red and two blue chips. All chips are identical in size and shape. A die is cast and bowl A₁ is selected if five or six spots show on the side that is up; otherwise, bowl A2 is selected. The selected bowl is handed to another person and one chip is taken at random. Suppose that this chip is red, an event which we denote by B. Find the probability of A₁ being selected and the probability of A2 being selected given that the chip is red (P(A₁ |B), P(A₂|B))

Suppose you roll a fair, 4-sided die once every day for 360 days. [Image source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:4-sided_dice_250.jpg (Links to an external site.) ; Author: Fantasy; CC BY-SA 3.0 (Links to an external site.)] Let X represent the number of rolls that land with "1" at the bottom edge of the die, as in the illustration above. Note: the probability of this event is 0.25 in any single roll. X is a binomial random variable. What are the parameters n and p for its distribution? Without evaluating the expression, use the binomial formula to write out exactly P(X = 81). You should not evaluate the binomial coefficient, nor the exponential expressions. Do not give a decimal approximation; use Formula 5.1 from our textbook (Section 5.3). We want to use the normal approximation to the binomial to approximate the probability P(85 < X ≤ 95). Check that normal approximation is reasonable in this case. (This is Step 2 of Procedure 6.3, p. 299 in our textbook.) What are the…
