Consider Example 2a, but now suppose that when the key is in a certain pocket, there is a 10 percent chance that a search of that pocket will not find the key. Let R and L be, respectively, the events that the key is in the right-hand pocket of the jacket and that it is in the left-hand pocket. Also, let S R be the event that a search of the right-hand jacket pocket will be successful in finding the key, and let U L be the event that a search of the left-hand jacket pocket will be unsuccessful and, thus, not find the key. Find P(SRIUL), the conditional probability that a search of the right-hand pocket will find the key given that a search of the left-hand pocket did not, by (a) using the identity P ( S R | U L ) = P ( S R U L ) P ( U L ) determining (SRUL) by conditioning on whether or not the key is in the right-hand pocket, and determining P(UL) by conditioning on whether or not the key is in the left- hand pocket; (b) using the identity P ( S R | U L ) = P ( S R | R U L ) P ( R | U L ) + P ( S R | R C U L ) P ( R C | U L )

Solution Summary: The author calculates the conditional probability of finding a key in the right-hand pocket of the jacket and not the left-handed pocket.
Consider Example 2a, but now suppose that when the key is in a certain pocket, there is a 10 percent chance that a search of that pocket will not find the key. Let R and L be, respectively, the events that the key is in the right-hand pocket of the jacket and that it is in the left-hand pocket. Also, let

be the event that a search of the right-hand jacket pocket will be successful in finding the key, and let
U
L
be the event that a search of the left-hand jacket pocket will be unsuccessful and, thus, not find the key. Find P(SRIUL), the conditional probability that a search of the right-hand pocket will find the key given that a search of the left-hand pocket did not, by (a) using the identity

13) Consider the checkerboard arrangement shown below. Assume that the red checker can move diagonally
upward, one square at a time, on the white squares. It may not enter a square if occupied by another checker, but
may jump over it. How many routes are there for the red checker to the top of the board?
