Suppose you have a bag containing 5 red balls, 4 green balls, and 3 blue balls. If you draw two balls at random from the bag without replacement, what is the probability that both balls are red? If you draw one ball and then another without replacement, what is the probability that the second ball is green given that the first ball was red? How can you use the concepts of conditional probability and Bayes' theorem to solve more complex problems in probability?

Solve the problem involving probabilities with independent events. A spinner is used for which it is equally probable that the pointer will land on any one of six regions. Three of the regions are colored red, two are colored green, and one is colored yellow. If the pointer is spun three times, find the probability it will land on green every time.
Consider the following game: A player rolls two dice. If he rolls 7 or less then he loses the game. Otherwise, he selects at random as many cards from the full deck as the sum of the numbers that came up on the dice. The player wins if all four Aces are among the selected cards. (a) What is the winning probability for this game? (b) Someone tells that he played this game once and won. What is the probability that he rolled a sum of 10?
At a local restaurant, you are allowed to pick one side with your dinner. Because you can only choose one, your side choice is mutually exclusive of all the other sides to chose from. On any given day, there is a 0.34 chance you will pick an fries, and a 0.1 chance you will pick an veggies. Today, you do not pick an veggies; what is the probability you pick fries today?
A bag contains 5red balls and 4 green balls. A ball is taken at random, and then put back. A second ball is then taken from the bag. The results are independent because the first ball is put back before the second is taken out. The probability that: (a) both balls are the same color is Blank 1 (b) the balls are of different colors is Blank 2 (c) at least one of the balls is green Blank 3 Round off your final answer to five decimal places. #.#####
Kristina Karganova invites 17 relatives to a party: her mother, 4 aunts, 3 uncles, 4 brothers, 1 male cousin, and 4 female cousins. If the chances of any one guest arriving first are equally likely, find the probabilities that the first guest to arrive is as follows. (a) A brother or an uncle (b) A brother or a cousin (c) A brother or her mother COD (a) Find the probability that the first guest to arrive is a brother or an uncle. (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.) (b) Find the probability that the first guest to arrive is a brother or a cousin.
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
Given P(A) =0.3 and P(A or B) =0.7, then what is P(B) if events A and B are mutually exclusive?
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
