Chuck-a-luck is an old game, played mostly in carnivals and county fairs. To play chuck-a-luck you place a bet, say $1, on one of the numbers 1 through 6. Say that you bet on the number 4. You then roll three dice (presumably honest). If you roll three 4’s, you win $3.00; If you roll just two 4’s, you win $2; if you roll just one 4, you win $1 (and, in all of these cases you get your original $1 back). If you roll no 4’s, you lose your $1. Compute the expected payoff for chuck-a-luck. Expected payoff for each event = Event Probability * Event Payoff Expected payoff for 3 matches: 3(1/6 * 1/6 * 1/6) = 3/216 = 1/72 Expected payoff for 2 matches: 2(1/6 * 1/6 * 5/6) = 10/216 = 5/108 Expected payoff for 1 match: 1(1/6 * 5/6 * 5/6) = 25/216 Expected payoff for 0 matches: -1(5/6 * 5/6 * 5/6) = 125/216 Add all these up: (3 + 10 + 25 - 125)/216 -87/216 ~ [B]-0.40[/B]

If A and B are independent events with P(A) = 0.2 and P(B) = 0.6, then P(A U B)=? We know the following formula for the probability of 2 events: P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A intersection B) We're told A and B are independent, which makes P(A intersection B) = 0. So we're left with: P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A intersection B) P(A U B) = 0.2 + 0.6 - 0 P(A U B) = [B]0.8[/B]

If the probability of an event occurring is 7%, what is the probability of an event not occurring? The probability of all event is 1, or 100%. If we treat the success of an event as p, then q is 1 - p. Using percentages, we have: q = 100% - p Given p = 7%, we have: q = 100% - 7% q = [B]93%[/B]

If the probability of rain is 15%, what is the probability that it won't rain? If we assign the probability of raining as event A, then A' (A complement) is the probability it won't rain.

There are 100 people in a sport centre. 67 people use the gym. 62 people use the swimming pool. 56 people use the track. 38 people use the gym and the pool. 31 people use the pool and the track. 33 people use the gym and the track. 16 people use all three facilities. A person is selected at random. What is the probability that this person doesn't use any facility? WE use the compound probability formula for 3 events: [LIST=1] [*]Gym use (G) [*]Swimming pool use (S) [*]Track (T) [/LIST] P(G U S U T) = P(G) + P(S) + P(T) - P(G Intersection S) - P(G Intersection T) - P(S Intersection T) + P(G Intersection S Intersection T) [LIST] [*]Note: U means Union (Or) and Intersection means (And) [/LIST] Plugging our numbers in: P(G U S U T) = 67/100 + 62/100 + 56/100 - 38/100 - 31/100 - 33/100 + 16/100 P(G U S U T) = (67 + 62 + 56 - 38 - 31 - 33 + 16)/100 P(G U S U T) = 99/100 or 0.99 What this says is, the probability that somebody uses at any of the 3 facilities is 99/100. The problem asks for none of the 3 facilities, or P(G U S U T)' P(G U S U T)' = 1 - P(G U S U T) P(G U S U T)' = 1 - 99/100 P(G U S U T)' = 100/100 - 99/100 P(G U S U T)' = [B]1/100 or 0.1[/B]

There is a bag filled with 3 blue, 4 red and 5 green marbles. A marble is taken at random from the bag, the colour is noted and then it is not replaced. Another marble is taken at random. What is the probability of getting exactly 1 green? Calculate Total marbles Total marbles = Blue + Red + Green Total marbles = 3 + 4 + 5 Total marbles = 12 Probability of a green = 5/12 Probability of not green = 1 - 5/12 = 7/12 To get exactly one green in two draws, we either get a green, not green, or a not green, green [U]First Draw Green, Second Draw Not Green[/U] [LIST] [*]1st draw: Probability of a green = 5/12 [*]2nd draw: Probability of not green = 7/11 <-- 11 since we did not replace the first marble [*]To get the probability of the event, since each draw is independent, we multiply both probabilities [*]Probability of the event is (5/12) * (7/11) = 35/132 [/LIST] [U]First Draw Not Green, Second Draw Not Green[/U] [LIST] [*]1st draw: Probability of not a green = 7/12 [*]2nd draw: Probability of not green = 5/11 <-- 11 since we did not replace the first marble [*]To get the probability of the event, since each draw is independent, we multiply both probabilities [*]Probability of the event is (7/12) * (5/11) = 35/132 [/LIST] To get the probability of exactly one green, we add both of the events: First Draw Green, Second Draw Not Green + First Draw Not Green, Second Draw Not Green 35/132 + 35/132 = 70/132 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/fraction.php?frac1=70%2F132&frac2=3%2F8&pl=Simplify']Using our fraction simplify calculator[/URL], we get: [B]35/66[/B]

There is a stack of 10 cards, each given a different number from 1 to 10. Suppose we select a card randomly from the stack, replace it, and then randomly select another card. What is the probability that the first card is an odd number and the second card is greater than 7. First Event: P(1, 3, 5, 7, 9) = 5/10 = 1/2 or 0.5 Second Event: P(8, 9, 10) = 3/10 or 0.3 Probability of both events since each is independent is 1/2 * 3/10 = 3/20 = [B]0.15 or 15%[/B]

There were 175 tickets sold for the upcoming event in the gym. If students tickets cost $5 and adult tickets are $8, tell me how many tickets were sold if gate receipts totaled $1028? Let s be the number of student tickets and a be the number of adult tickets. We are given: a + s = 175 8a + 5s = 1028 There are 3 ways to solve this, all of which give us: [B]a = 51 s = 124 [/B] [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/simultaneous-equations.php?term1=a+%2B+s+%3D+175&term2=8a+%2B+5s+%3D+1028&pl=Substitution']Substitution Method[/URL] [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/simultaneous-equations.php?term1=a+%2B+s+%3D+175&term2=8a+%2B+5s+%3D+1028&pl=Elimination']Elimination Method[/URL] [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/simultaneous-equations.php?term1=a+%2B+s+%3D+175&term2=8a+%2B+5s+%3D+1028&pl=Cramers+Method']Cramers Method[/URL]

True or False (a) The normal distribution curve is always symmetric to its mean. (b) If the variance from a data set is zero, then all the observations in this data set are identical. (c) P(A AND A^c)=1, where A^c is the complement of A. (d) In a hypothesis testing, if the p-value is less than the significance level ?, we do not have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis. (e) The volume of milk in a jug of milk is 128 oz. The value 128 is from a discrete data set. [B](a) True, it's a bell curve symmetric about the mean (b) True, variance measures how far a set of numbers is spread out. A variance of zero indicates that all the values are identical (c) True. P(A) is the probability of an event and P(Ac) is the complement of the event, or any event that is not A. So either A happens or it does not. It covers all possible events in a sample space. (d) False, we have sufficient evidence to reject H0. (e) False. Volume can be a decimal or fractional. There are multiple values between 127 and 128. So it's continuous.[/B]

Two dice are rolled. Enter the size of the set that corresponds to the event that both dice are odd. If dice 1 is odd, then we have the following face values: {1, 3, 5} If dice 2 is odd, then we have the following face values: {1, 3, 5} [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/2dice.php?gl=1&opdice=1&pl=Both+Odd&rolist=+2%2C3%2C9%2C10&dby=2%2C3%2C5&ndby=4%2C5&montect=+100']From this 2 dice odds face link[/URL], we see that the size of the set is 9.

what’s the probability of rolling a 5 and then rolling a number less then 2 [U]Roll a 5:[/U] There's only one 5 on a six sided die P(X = 5) = 1/6 A number less than 2 is only 1: P(X < 2) = P(X = 1) P(X = 1) = 1/6 Since each event is independent, we multiply: P(X = 5) * P(X = 1) = 1/6 * 1/6 P(X = 5) * P(X = 1) = [B]1/36[/B]

Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the distribution for averages? a. The mean, median, and mode are equal. b. The area under the curve is one. c. The curve never touches the x-axis. d. The curve is skewed to the right. Answer is d, the curve is skewed to the right For a normal distribution: [LIST] [*] The area under the curve for a standard normal distribution equals 1 [*] Mean media mode are equal [*] Never touches the x-axis since in theory, all events have some probability of occuring [/LIST]
