Chapter 10.1, Problem 47E
Solution

To calculate: The probability that the first type A donor is the fourth person in line.

The probability that you will end up with no red ones is 8.64%.

Given information:

A vending machine contains 12 red gumballs, 5 white ones, and 3 blue ones. You insert 3 coins, getting one gumball after another after another.

Calculation:

Let A= person has blood type A

  Ac= person does not have blood type A

  P(A)=40%=0.4

Use the complementary rule: P(Ac)=P(not A)=1−P(A)

  P(Ac)=1−P(A)               =1−0.4               =0.6

The first type A donor is the fourth person in line when the first three people are not a type A donor and the fourth person is a type A donor.

Assume that the people in the line are randomly lined up and randomly selected, such that it can assume that the blood type of one person does not affect the blood type of the other person (note that it thus requires that the people in the line are unrelated).

Use the multiplication rule for independent events: P(A∩B)=P(A and B)=P(A)×P(B)

  P(Three Ac followed by 1 A)=P(Ac)×P(Ac)×P(Ac)×P(A)                                                             =0.6×0.6×0.6×0.4                                                             =0.63×0.4                                                             =0.216×0.4                                                             =0.0864                                                             =8.64%​

Hence, the probability that a set of red, white, and blue is 8.64%.
