Addition Rule of Probability

It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.

Expected Value

When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …

Probability Distributions

Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…

Basic Probability

The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

Textbook Question

Chapter 13.1, Problem 37E

In cross-breeding snapdragons, Mendel found that flower color does not dominate as happens with peas. For example, a snapdragon with one red and one white gene will have pink flowers. In Exercises 37 and 38, analyze the cross-breeding experiment as we did in the discussion prior to Example 9.

Cross–breeding flowers.

a. Construct a Punnett square showing the results of crossing a purebred white snapdragon with a purebred red one.

b. What is the probability of getting red flowers in the first-generation plants? What is the probability of getting white? Of getting pink?

One game at a carnival is called “Duck Pond.” This game consists of a large number of ducks that arefloating through an oval-shaped trough. A sign claims that 20% of the ducks have a blue dot on thebottom of them, 20% have a red dot, 20% have a green dot, 20% have a yellow dot, and 20% have anorange dot. Players pay to select one duck, show the color to the game attendant, replace the duck, spinaround once, and then select a second duck. If the dot on the bottom of the second duck matches the dotthat was on the bottom of the first duck, the player wins. Otherwise, the player loses. a) Are the events “color of the first duck” and “color of the second duck” independent? Explain. b) You want to perform a simulation to estimate the probability of winning this game, assuming theduck colors are distributed as claimed. Describe how you could use a table of random digits tocarry out this simulation without needing to skip any digits. c) Perform 10 trials of the simulation described in part (b)…
