Practice Set 2

 A. 1. There are 200 names in a bowl and one is drawn as the door 

prize winner. What is the probability that you win, assuming thatyour name is in the bowl?

2. Suppose there are three doctors in a group o ten people. ! aperson is selected at random, what is the probability that he or she is a doctor?

". #onsider the sample space S $ %s1, s2, s", s&' in which()r*s1+ $ 0.& )r*s2+ $ 0.2 )r*s"+ $ 0.1

What is )r*s&+?

&.  A ehicle arriing at an intersection can turn let, turn right, or continue straight ahead. ! an e-periment consists o obseringthe moement o one ehicle at this intersection(a. ist the elements o the sample space *list o outcomes+b. Attach probabilities to these elements i all possible

outcomes are e/ually lielyc. ind the probability that the ehicle turns, under the

assumption o part b aboe.

. 3ydraulic assemblies or landing gear coming rom an aircratrewor acility are inspected or deects. 3istory shows that 45hae deects in the shats alone, 65 hae deects in thebushings alone, and 25 hae deects in both shats andbushings. ! a randomly chosen assembly is to be used onaircrat, ind the probability that it hasa. a bushing deectb. a shat or bushing deectc. only one o the two types o deectsd. no deects in shats or bushings

7. 1. Which o the are binomial random ariables?a. The number o accidents per wee inoling alcohol in the

)hilippinesb. The number o iolent crimes committed per month in 8.#.c. The number o successul heart transplants out o ie

patientsd. The length o a prison term or possession o shabue. The number o 9W applicants who are gypped by the

recruitment agency *gyp $ il( linlang +

2. A basetball player has a 05 chance o maing a ree throw.9ut o two tries, what is the probability that he misses bothshots?

". Suppose " o the 12 bottles in a case o wine are bad. ! twobottles are randomly selected, what the probabilities o theollowinga.a 7oth are good

b. 7oth are badc. 9ne is good and one is bad

&. The /uality o computer diss is measured by sending the dissthrough a certiier that counts the number o missing pulses. Acertain brand o computer diss has aeraged 0.1 missing pulseper dis. ind the probability that(a. an inspected dis will hae no missing pulseb. an inspected dis will hae more than one missing pulse

#. 1. A section o an electrical circuithas two relays in parallel, asshown in the igure at right.

The relays operate in:dependently, and when aswitch is thrown, each willclose properly with probability0.4. ! both relays are open,ind the probability that currentwill low rom s  to t   when theswitch is thrown.

2. ;nergy shortageand thesyroceting uelcosts hae

made manyconsumersaware o thesize o theautomobiles they purchase. A manuacturer has succeeded incompiling data on automobile size and manuacturer o newlypurchased units "rd  /uarter o 200. Suppose a customer isselected at random, and was interiewed. ind the probabilitythat the customer selected(a. )reers medium size carsb. )reers <itsubishi carsc. )reers heay Toyota cars
