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…

Chapter 4.6, Problem 30BSC

In Exercises 5–36, express all probabilities as fractions.

24. ATM You want to obtain cash by using an ATM, but it’s dark and you can’t see your card when you insert it. The card must be inserted with the front side up and the printing configured so that the beginning of your name enters first.

  1. a. What is the probability of selecting a random position and inserting the card with the result that the card Is inserted correctly?
  2. b. What is the probability of randomly selecting the card’s position and finding that it is incorrectly inserted on the first attempt but it is correctly Inserted on the second attempt? (Assume that the same position used for the first attempt could also be used for the second attempt.)
  3. c. How many random selections are required to be absolutely sure that the card works because It is inserted correctly?
