a 12 sided die is rolled find the probability of rolling a number greater than 7
a 12 sided die is rolled find the probability of rolling a number greater than 7 We assume this is a fair die, not loaded. This means each side 1-12 has an equal probability of 1/12 of being rolled. The problem asks, P(Roll > 7) Greater than 7 means our sample space is {8, 9, 10, 11, 12} If each of these 5 faces have an equal probability of being rolled, then we have: P(Roll > 7) = P(Roll = 8) + P(Roll = 9) + P(Roll = 10) + P(Roll = 11) + P(Roll = 12) P(Roll > 7) = 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 P(Roll > 7) =[B] 5/12[/B]

(b) What is the probability that exactly two of the three apples are red? a) You have 22 red apples left and 1 green left leaving 23 total apples left.

An airplane carries 500 passengers 45% are men, 20% are children. The number of women in the airplane is If we assume the sample space is either men, women, or children to get 100% of the passengers, we have: PercentWomen = 100% - Men - Children PercentWomen = 100% - 45% - 20% PercentWomen = 35% Calculate Women passengers Women passengers = Total passengers * Percent Women Women passengers = 500 * 35% Women passengers = [B]175[/B]

If the probability of getting struck by lighting each year is 1 in 1,000,000, what is the probability that you will not be struck by lightning in one year? Our sample space is either getting struck by lightning or NOT getting struck by lightning. So we have: P(Not getting struck by lightning) = 1 - P(Getting struck by lightning) P(Not getting struck by lightning) = 1 - 1/1,000,000 P(Not getting struck by lightning) = [B]999,999/1,000,000[/B]

If the probability of winning is X, what is the probability of losing? (Assume there are no ties.)
If the probability of winning is X, what is the probability of losing? (Assume there are no ties.) This means you can either win or lose. Since all probabilities in the sample space must add up to 1, then we have: P(Winning) + P(Losing) = 1 P(Losing) = 1 - P(Winning) Since P(Winning) = X, we have: P(Losing) = [B]1 - X[/B]

True or False (a) The normal distribution curve is always symmetric to its mean. (b) If the variance
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 Ac)=1, where Ac is the complement of A. (d) In a hypothesis testing, if the p-value is less than the significance level α, 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]
