Norm, a Barbie skeptic, decides to give Barbie a shot and join the duo for their Barbie watch party. Norm watches a sequence of 8 pairwise distinct movies, and he either likes or doesn’t like each movie (assume this is binary) with equal probability. What is the probability of each of the following events? (a) Norm likes exactly one of the first 3 movies. (b) Norm likes all of the first 3 movies or the last 3 movies

Sally and Mike are playing frisbee at the beach. When Sally throws the frisbee the probability is 0.13 that it comes back to Sally, the probability is 0.7 that it goes to Mike, and the probability is 0.17 that the dog runs away with the frisbee. When Mike throws the frisbee there is a 0.62 probability that Sally gets it, a 0.27 probability that it comes back to Mike, and a 0.11 probability that the dog runs away with the frisbee. Treat this as a 3--state Markov Chain with the dog being an absorbing state. (a) If Mike has the frisbee, what is the expected value for the number of times the frisbee will be thrown before the dog gets the frisbee and runs away with it? (Give your answer correct to 2 decimal places.) times thrown (b) If Mike has the frisbee, what is the expected value for the number of times Mike will throw the frisbee before the dog gets it? (Give your answer correct to 2 decimal places.) times Mike throws
Charlie draws five cards out of a deck of 52. If he gets at least three of one suit,he discards the cards not of that suit and then draws until he again has five cards. For example, if he gets three hearts, one club, and one spade, he throws the two non hearts away and draws two more. What is the probability he will end up with five cards of the same suit?

A secondary school is offering two extracurricular classes, one in Photography and theother in Swimming. These classes are open to all of the 250 students in the school.Suppose there are 48 students in the Photography class, 34 in the Swimming class, and12 who are in both classes.

At a museum cafe you can get a pre-made boxed lunch with a sandwich, fruit, and drink for only $3. • The sandwiches are made with either turkey or ham. • The fruit is either an apple or an orange. • The drink is either bottled water or juice. The number of boxes they make for every possible combination is the same. If you randomly choose one of the boxed lunches without knowing the contents, what is the probability you will get a turkey sandwich, an apple, and a bottle of water in your box? 1 4
