We have two (2) bins with balls. Bin 1 contains four balls, three red and one green. Bin 2 contains six balls, two red and four blue. Alice conducts the following experiment: Alice picks one of the two bins uniformly at random. Alice picks a ball from the selected bin uniformly at random. What is the probability that she picked a red ball? The probability that Alice picked a red ball is the rational number p/q where p is

You are the teacher of two math classes of 20 and 25 students respectively. To get into a university program, the students need a 75% in the class. Suppose each student has a 0.7 probability of getting atleast a 75% in the class. Let X1 be the number of students in the class of 20 who receive atleast a 75%. Let X2 be the number of students in the class of 25 who receive atleast a 75%. a. Do X1 and X2 fit the binomial setting? Are there any issues? For the rest of the question, assume both X1 and X2 can be modeled by a binomial distri- bution. b. What is the probability that exactly 15 students in the class of 20 get into the pro- gram? Do not use Table C. c. What is the probability that atleast 22 students in the class of 25 get into the pro- gram? Do not use Table C. d. Using Table C, what is the probability that atleast 17 students in the class of 20 get into the program? е. Let X be the number of students in both classes that get into the program.

Assume that we have three coins: The first coin is fair. The second coin is unfair with probability of heads equal to 0.8. The third coin is also unfair with probability of heads equal to 0.3. Consider an experiment involving two successive coin tosses. The result of the first stage of the experiment is determined by the toss of the fair coin. The result of the second stage of the experiment is determined by the toss of a coin, but suppose that the coin that is used depends upon the result of the toss of the fair coin. Specifically, if the toss of the fair coin results in heads, then the second coin is tossed. Otherwise the third coin is tossed. Let Hi and Ti be the events that ith toss resulted in heads and tails, respectively. Answer the following questions. a) Give a sequential description of the experiment using a tree diagram. b) Calculate the probabilities of the possible outcomes of the experiment. c) Calculate P(H2) d) Are the events H1 and H2 independent?

Jack has just been given a ten-question multiple choice quiz in history class. Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct. Since Jack has not attended class recently, he does not know any of the answers. Assuming Jack guesses randomly on all ten questions, find the probability that he will answer six or more of the questions correctly and avoid an F.
Chris has just received test results from a patient named Cardi who is infected with a mystery disease. The accuracy of the test is as follows:The probability the test will be positive if Cardi is infected is p, and the probability the test will be positive if Cardi is not infected is q. The proportion of the population that is infected is π. The test comes back positive. Chris has no information about the disease and related symptoms. Suppose Chris does not have a true gasp of the base rates. Chris thinks that the base rate is γπ (gamma*pi), with γ is less than or equal to π. This is to make sure that Chris's belief about the prevalance of the mystery disease is no more than 100%. If p=0.95, 1=0.05, π=1, what must be the value of γ if Chris thinks that the probability Cardi has the disease is 0.9? A. 3.57 B. 0.5 C. 1.05 D. 3.214 Please provide explanation

Bianca has two coins. Coin A is a biased coin that comes up HEAD with probability 0.3. Coin B is a fair coin that comes up HEAD with probability 0.5. Bianca picks one of the two coins uniformly at random. She flips it. Conditioned on that the outcome of the coin flip is HEAD, what is the probability that Bianca picked coin A? Give the answer as an irreducible fraction of two integers.
