Suppose, in the Monty Hall problem, that if the contestant first chooses curtain 1 and the prize is in fact behind curtain 1 then the host always opens curtain 2 and offers the contestant a chance to switch to curtain 3. What advice would you now give the contestant when, after choosing curtain 1, he is given the opportunity to switch to another curtain? Now suppose that when the contestant chooses curtain 1 the host opens curtain 2 or 3 with equal probability, even when this reveals where the prize ís. If in some particular play of the game the host opens curtain 2, which turns out not to have the prize, would it be in the contestant's interest to switch to curtain 3?

There are two white balls in box B1, two red balls in box B2, two white and two red balls in box B3, and three white and one red balls in box B4. The probability of choosing boxes B1, B2, B3 or B4 is given as 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and 1/8 respectively. One of the boxes is chosen at random and a ball is drawn at random from the selected box. What is the probability that the selected ball comes from box B3 under the condition that it is white?

Bag 1 contains 8 gray rocks and 5 black rocks, and Bag 2 contains 9 gray rocks and 4 black rocks. Suppose we flip a fair coin. If the result is heads, we randomly select a rock from Bag 1; if the result is tails, we randomly select a rock from Bag 2. Suppose that a gray rock was selected. What is the probability that the rock came from Bag 1?

11. As a small business owner, you decide to randomly give two of your loyal customers a $100 gift card each. To decide who gets the gift cards, you write down the names of each loyal customer and draw them out of a hat. You draw two names without replacement so that one person does not get both $100 gift cards. Of the 6 loyal customers you have, 3 live in Georgia. What is the probability that both of the $100 gift cards go to a loyal customer living in Georgia? .2 O.25 O.3 O none of the above are correct
On Mr. Casper's debate team at Thunderbird High School, 20% of the members are Sophomores, 35% are Juniors and 45% are Seniors. A team member is selected randomly to give the closing argument for the team. If a sophomore gives the closing argument, the team has a probability of 0.25 of winning the debate. If a junior gives the closing argument, the probability of winning is 0.6. If a senior closes, the probability of winning is 0.85. (a) Find the probability that the team wins the debate. b sketch a tree diagram to model this process
