You can type blindfold at your keyboard, but that comes at a disadvantage of making typos. Let us say that you are required to type the word FLASH. You might insert anextra letter (all 26 letters equally likely) with probability 0.1, skip any required letter with probability 0.1, or write the correct required letter with probability 0.8. What is the probability that, when required to type the word FLASH, you instead end up writing FAST? Hint : Letters F, A, S are correct required letters L and H are skipped letters T is the extra letter

When we have a midterm exam of a probability course in a classroom, we often design two versions of the midterm exam paper. We do not have cameras in the classroom. In November, 2019, each version had 10 questions. Version A was the same as Version B except for two questions: in each of those two questions, two versions were different only on one number. Difference Version A Version B Question 2 P(A)3D0.4 Question 7 a=0.05 P(A)-0.5 a=0.10 Student John worked on Version A, but his solutions were using the numbers of Version B. The student at John's left side and the student at John's right side had Version B. As we know well, it is possible for a person to make mistakes on reading numbers. According to a research report in 1950, the probability that a person had this type of mistakes in one question was less than 1%. Suppose that a person makes the mistake in different questions are independent. The probability that John did the exam by himself would be less than 0.01% from 0.012-0.01%.…

New York’s “Pick 10” is a 10/80 lottery. The lottery costs $1. If you match all 10numbers, you win 500, 000; if you match 9 numbers you win $6000; if you match 8, you win $300; ifyou match 7, you win $40; and if you match 6, you win $10. If all your numbers do not match thewinning ticket, you win $4.Find the probability of each of the possible payouts. Compute the probability of losing in the Pick 10. Use the past two parts to compute the expected value of the Pick 10; be sure to includethe cost of the ticket in your calculations.
