Question

1)if a six sided fair is rolled two times and a 2 shows up both times, the probability of a 2 on the third trial is?

2) if a and b are independent events with p(a) = 0.2 and p(b) = 0.67, then P(A1B) is?

3) During the first three semesters of studies, 82% of the UT COBI students take BUAD 2040, 60% take BUAD 2060, and 89% take at least one of the two courses. What is the probability that a randomly selected UT COBI student takes both these courses during his/her first three semesters?

4) During the first three semesters of studies, 88% of the UC COBA students take ACCT1, 75% take both ACCT1 and STAT1, and 91% take at least one of the two courses. What is the probability that a randomly selected UC COBA student takes STAT1 during his/her first three semesters?

5)In a recent survey about appliance ownership, 52.3% of the respondents indicated that they own GE, while 27.3% indicated they own both GE and Maytag appliances and 74.5% said they own at least one of the two appliances.

Define the events as

G = Owning a GE appliance
M = Owning a Maytag appliance

What is the probability that a respondent owns a Maytag appliance?

Explanation / Answer

1) as die is fair therefore probability of a 2 on any trail is independent of prior events

therefore  probability of a 2 on the third trial is =1/6

2)(please clarify as symbol looks like conditional probability)

P(A|B) =P(A) =0.2 ( being indepdnent)

3) probability that a randomly selected UT COBI student takes both these courses during his/her first three semesters =P(BUAD 2040)+P(BUAD 2060)-P(at least one) =0.82+0.60-0.89=0.53

4)probability that a randomly selected UC COBA student takes STAT1 during his/her first three semesters

=P(both)+P(at least one)-P(ACT1) =0.75+0.91-0.88 =0.78

5)

probability that a respondent owns a Maytag appliance =P(G U M)+P(G n M)-P(G)= 0.745+0.273-0.523=0.495
