I'm confused as to what distrubution I should use to solve this probability. When tall and colorful plants are crossed with short and colorless plants, four types of plants will result: tall and colorful, tall and colorless, short and colorful, and short and colorless with corresponding probabilities: 0.37, 0.42, 0.11, and 0.10. Ten plants are selected. Find the probability that 5 will be tall and colorful, 2 will be tall and colorless, 2 will be short and colorful, and 1 will be short and colorless.
For this problem, assume that 11 % withdraw, 14 % receive an A, 18 % receive a B, 35 % receive a C, 14 % receive a D, and 8 % receive an F. (1) What probability should be assigned to the event "pass the course"? (2) What probability should be assigned to the event "withdraw or fail the course"?
Someone flips a fair coin and rolls a 6-sided die. What is the probability that a tail and 3 will be the result? Are these events independent or dependent?
Suppose that Stephen makes 95% of his free throws. Assume that late in a basketball game, he is fouled and is awarded two shots. (a) What is the probability that he will make both shots? (b) What is the probability that he will make at least one shot? (c) What is the probability that he will miss both shots? (d) Late in a basketball game, a team often intentionally fouls an opposing player in order to stop the game clock. The usual strategy is to intentionally foul the other team's worst free- throw shooter. Assume that Stephen's team's center makes 57% of his free-throw shots. Calculate the probabilities for the center as shown in parts (a), (b), and (c). Assume as in parts (a), (b), and (c) that two shots will be awarded. P(center makes two shots) = P(center makes at least one shot) = P(center misses both shots) =
