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…

Answer to Problem 2OE

The probability of the event B is 13 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given information is

  Algebra and Trigonometry: Structure and Method, Book 2, Chapter 15.10, Problem 2OE , additional homework tip 1

Calculation:

The number of elements in B is 4 .

  a , b , c , d

The total number of elements is 12 .

  a , b , c , d , f , e , g ,  h , i , j , k ,l

The probability of B is the number of elements in B is 4 divided by the total number of elements 12 .

Now,

Probability of the event

  B=Number of elements in Btotal number of elementsB=412=13B=13

Thus,the probability of the event B is 13 .

(b)

To determine

To find:The probability of the event A¯.

Answer to Problem 2OE

The probability of the event A¯ is 56 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given information is

  Algebra and Trigonometry: Structure and Method, Book 2, Chapter 15.10, Problem 2OE , additional homework tip 2

Calculation:

The number of elements in A¯ is 10 .

   f , e , g ,  h , i , j , k ,l

The total number of elements is 12 .

  a , b , c , d , f , e , g ,  h , i , j , k ,l

The probability of A¯ is the number of elements in A¯ is 10 divided by the total number of elements 12 .

Now,

Probability of the event

  A¯=Number of elements in Btotal number of elementsA¯=1012=56A¯=56

Thus, the probability of the event A¯ is 56 .

(c)

To determine

To find:The probability of the event C∩D.

(c)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 2OE

The probability of the event C∩D is 16 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given information is

  Algebra and Trigonometry: Structure and Method, Book 2, Chapter 15.10, Problem 2OE , additional homework tip 3

Calculation:

The probability of the union of C and D is the number of elements in C and D is 2 divided by the total number of elements 12 .

Now,

Probability of the event

  C∩D=Number of elements in C∩Dtotal number of elementsC∩D=212=16C∩D=16

Thus, the probability of the event C∩D is 16 .

(d)

To determine

To find:The probability of the event A∪B.

(d)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 2OE

The probability of the event A∪B is 12 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given information is

  Algebra and Trigonometry: Structure and Method, Book 2, Chapter 15.10, Problem 2OE , additional homework tip 4

Calculation:

The probability of the union of A and B is the number of elements in A and B is 6 divided by the total number of elements 12 .

Now,

Probability of the event

  A∪B=Number of elements in A∪Btotal number of elementsA∪B=612=12A∪B=12

Thus, the probability of the event A∪B is 12 .
