Suppose a jar contains five red candies, three yellow candies, and two green candies. If two candies are pulled out, list all the events in the sample space. Does it matter if they are pulled out at the same time or one at a time? Let the event A be that at least one of the two candies pulled out is red. Let the event B be that the second candy is green. Let the event C be that both candies are yellow. What are the events AÈB, AÈC, BÈC, AÇB, AÇC, and BÇC?

A class with n kids lines up for recess. The order in which the kids line up is random with each ordering being equally likely. There are three kids in the class named John, Betty, and Mary. The use of the word “or” in the description of the events, should be interpreted as the inclusive or. That is “A or B” means that A is true, B is true, or both A and B are true.Give an expression for each of the probabilities below as a function of n. Simplify your final expression as much as possible so that your answer does not include any expressions of the form (a over b).(a) What is the probability that Betty is first in line or Mary is last in line?(b) Explain the method used to calculate probability.
Assume that a flower bed contains 40 flowers. Suppose that 8 of the flowers are white, 8 of the flowers are pink, 8 are yellow, 8 are orange, and 8 are green. Suppose that 10 flowers are randomly selected, without replacement. What is the probability that exactly 2 of the flowers are yellow, exactly 4 of the flowers are another common color and exactly 4 of the flowers are a third common color?
A jar of 150 jelly beans contains 20 red jelly beans, 38 yellow, 28 green, 26 purple, 24 blue, and the rest are orange. Let B = the event of getting a blue jelly bean. Let G = the event of getting a green jelly bean. Let O = the event of getting an orange jelly bean. Let P = the event of getting a purple jelly bean. Let R = the event of getting a red jelly bean. Let Y = the event of getting a yellow jelly bean. Find P(Y). (Enter your probability as a fraction.)
Consider a sample space S. Let A and B be any two events in S. Write the expressions in terms of unions, interactions, and complements for the following events

An experiment consists of rolling a fair die twice. Let A be the event that in the second roll the die lands 1, 2, or 5; B be the event that in the second roll the die lands 4, 5, or 6; and C be the event that the sum of the two outcomes from the two rolls is 9. Please choose the correct answer:
Two coins are tossed. Let A denote the event “at most one head on the two tosses” and let B denote the event “one head and one tail in both tosses.” Determine whether A and B are independent events or not?
Suppose a jar contains five red candies, three yellow candies, and one green candy. If two candies are pulled out, list all the events in the sample space. Does it matter if they are pulled out at the same time or one at a time? Let the event A be that at least one of the two candies pulled out is red. Let the event B be that the second candy is green. Let the event C be that both candies are yellow. What are the events AUB, AUC, BUC, AÇB, AÇC, and BÇC?
The number of girls and boys enrolled for different majors in a community college are as follows. There are a total of 535 girls and 500 boys. 150 girls and 120 boys are majoring in Biology. 100 girls and 100 boys are majoring in Chemistry. 110 girls and 130 boys are majoring in Statistics. 175 girls and 150 boys are majoring in Medicine. Construct a contingency table with this information. Select a student at random. What is the probability that the student is Chemistry major given that it is a girl?
A number cube is rolled three times. An outcome is represented by a string of the sort OEE (meaning an odd number on the first rollI, an even number on the second roll, and an even number on the third roll). The 8 outcomes are listed in the table below. Note that each outcome has the same probability. For each of the three events in the table, check the outcome(s) that are contained in the event. Then, in the last column, enter the probability of the event. Outcomes Probability EOE OEE OEO OOE EEO 00 ЕЕЕ EOO Event A: Exactly one odd number Event B: Two or more even numbers Event C: An even number on the second roll olo
Let A and B be events in a sample space S. Show that if A and B are independent, then so are (a) A and B, (b) A and B, and (c) A and B.
