Concept explainers
In the finals of an Angry Birds tournament, Bob is the number one seed, and he’ll win the championship if he wins one game in the finals. The other two finalists are Fran and Julio, and they each need to win two games to claim the title.
(a) Draw a tree diagram and find the
(b) Assuming that all three players haw an equal likelihood of winning any individual game, find the probability of each outcome in the sample space. (Hint: Use the rule you discovered in 25[c].) Make sure that all of your probabilities add to 1!
(c) Use the results of (b) to find the probability of each contestant winning the championship.

- Show that the probability of drawing a club at random from a standard deck of 52 playing cards is the same as the probability of drawing the ace of hearts at random from a set of four cards consisting of the aces of hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades.arrow_forwardFind the probability of each event. Drawing 5 orange cubes from a bowl containing 5 orange cubes and 1 beige cubesarrow_forwardRoulette American roulette is a game in which a wheel turns on a spindle and is divided into 38 pockets. Thirty-six of the pockets are numbered 1-36, of which half are red and half are black. Two of the pockets are green and are numbered 0 and 00 (see figure). The dealer spins the wheel and a small ball in opposite directions. As the ball slows to a stop, it has an equal probability of landing in any of the numbered pockets. (a) Find the probability of landing in the number 00 pocket. (b) Find the probability of landing in a red pocket. (c) Find the probability of landing in a green pocket or a black pocket. (d) Find the probability of landing in the number 14 pocket on two consecutive spins. (e) Find the probability of landing in a red pocket on three consecutive spins.arrow_forward
