1. In a basket there are 6 red marbles
and 4 blue marbles.
What is the probability of drawing
a red marble--P(R)?
2. In a basket there are 6 red marbles
and 4 blue marbles.
Given that you have selected a red marble and have placed
it in the basket, what is the probability of drawing a red
marble---P(R) ?
3. In a basket there are 6 red marbles
and 4 blue marbles.
However, what is the probability of selecting a red marble,
assuming that you did not replace the original red marble, i.e.,
sampling without replacement.
4. In a basket there are 6 red marbles
and 4 blue marbles.
What is the probability of drawing a red marble on the first try
and without replacing it, drawing a blue marble on the second try?
P (B|R)=
5. In a basket there are 6 red marbles
and 4 blue marbles.
What is the probability of drawing a red marble on the first try,
a blue marble on the second try, and another blue marble on the
third try without replacement?
6. In a basket there are 6 red marbles
and 4 blue marbles.
What is the probability of drawing a red marble on the first try,
a blue marble on the second try, and another blue marble on the
third try "with" replacement?
7. Observe each of the following, assuming independent events.
Given P(A) = 30%, P(B) = 20%,
find P(A and B) =
8. In a certain laboratory we find the following chemicals:
C only 300
H only 500
Both 200
Total 1000
P(C) =
P(H)=
P(B)=
Now find P(C or H)=
P(C only or H only) =
9. If P(A and B and C) = 25% and P(B and C) = 75%
Find P(A)=
10. If P(A|B) = 20% and P(B) = 80%, find P(A and B) =
11. Assume that P(B|A) = 50% ; P(B|A' ) = 10% ; P(A)= 32%:
P(A and B)=
P(A ' and B)=
P(B) =
12. A manufacturer buys 80% of its materials from Co.K, which
usually has 4% defective. Company L supplies the other 20%
of materials, which usually has 6% defective.
Find probability of a defective item if it came from K. P(D|K)=
Find probability of a defective item if it came from L. P(D|L)=
Find the probability of selecting an item that is both defective
and came from company K.
P(K and D)=
Now, find the probability of selecting an item that is both
defective and came from company K.
P(L and D)=
Now, find the probability of selecting a defective part.
P( D ) =
13. Assume that P(B) = 50%; P(A and B)= 20%; and P(A|B) = 40%
Are A and B independent? Prove
14. 90% of grapes are purple P(P)=.90, of which only
5 % have (M) mold (so 95 % of purple have no mold)
10% of grapes are green P(G)=.10, of which only
8% have mold (so 92% of green have no mold)
Find P(M|P)=
Find P(M|G)=
Find P(P and M)=
Find PG and M)=
Find P(M)=
