Concept explainers
In Exercises 1–22, use Bayes’ theorem to calculate the probabilities.
Customized Dice A specially made pair of dice has only oneand two-spots on the faces. One of the dice has three faces with a one-spot and three faces with a two-spot. The other die has two faces with a one-spot and four faces with a two-spot. One of the dice is selected at random and then rolled six times. If a two-spot shows up only once, what is the probability that it is the die with four two-spots?

- Find the probability of each event. Drawing 5 orange cubes from a bowl containing 5 orange cubes and 1 beige cubesarrow_forwardShow 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_forwardConsumer Preference In a population of 100,000 consumers, there are 20,000 users of Brand A, 30,000 users of Brand B, and 50,000 who use neither brand. During any month, a Brand A user has a 20 probability of switching to Brand B and a 5 of not using either brand. A Brand B user has a 15 probability of switching to Brand A and a 10 probability of not using either brand. A nonuser has a 10 probability of purchasing Brand A and a 15 probability of purchasing Brand B. How many people will be in each group a in 1 month, b in 2 months, and c in 18 months?arrow_forward
