Question:

Probability models? In each of the following situations, state whether or not the given assignment of probabilities to individual outcomes is legitimate, that is, satisfies the rules of probability. If not, give specific reasons for your answer.

(a) Roll a 6-sided die and record the count of spots on the up-face: P(1) = 0, P(2) = 1/6, P(3) = 1/3, P(4) =

1/3, P(5) = 1/6, P(6) = 0.

(b) Choose a college student at random and record gender and enrollment status: P(female full-time) = 0.56, P(male full-time) = 0.44, P(female part-time) = 0.24, P(male part-time) = 0.17.

(c) Deal a card from a shuffled deck: P(clubs) = 12/52, P(diamonds) = 12/52, P(hearts) = 12/52, P(spades) =

16/52.
