Chapter 2: Q1E (page 56)

Four universities鈥�1, 2, 3, and 4鈥攁re participating in a holiday basketball tournament. In the first round, 1 will play 2 and 3 will play 4. Then the two winners will play for the championship, and the two losers will also play. One possible outcome can be denoted by 1324 (1 beats 2 and 3 beats 4 in first-round games, and then 1 beats 3 and 2 beats 4).

a. List all outcomes in S.

b. Let A denote the event that 1 wins the tournament. List outcomes in A.

c. Let Bdenote the event that 2 gets into the championship game. List outcomes in B.

d. What are the outcomes in A\( \cup \)B and in A\( \cap \)B? What are the outcomes in A鈥�?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The outcomes are:

\(S = \left\{ {1324,3124,1342,3142,1423,1432,4123,4132,2314,2341,3214,3241,2413,2431,4213,4231} \right\}\)

b. The possible outcomes of A are:

\(A = \left\{ {1324,1342,1423,1432} \right\}\)

c. The possible outcomes of B are:

\(B = \left\{ {2314,2341,3214,3241,2413,2431,4213,4231} \right\}\)

d. The possible outcomes are,

\(A \cup B = \left\{ {1324,1342,1423,1432,2314,2341,3214,3241,2413,2431,4213,4231} \right\}\)

\(A \cap B = \phi \)

\(A' = \left\{ {3124,3142,4123,4132,2314,2341,3214,3241,2413,2431,4213,4231} \right\}\)

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The number of universities is 4; they are 1, 2, 3, and 4.

In the first-round, 1 will play 2 and 3 will play 4. Then two winners and two losers will play respectively.

The possible outcome 1324 implies that 1 beat 2 and 3 beat 4 in the first round and then 1 beat 3 and 2 beat 4.

02

Providing the elements of a sample space

a.

The sample space for the provided scenario is as follows,

\(S = \left\{ {1324,3124,1342,3142,1423,1432,4123,4132,2314,2341,3214,3241,2413,2431,4213,4231} \right\}\)

03

Providing the possible outcomes of A

b.

A represents the event that 1 wins the tournament.

Referring to the sample space of part a,

\(S = \left\{ {1324,3124,1342,3142,1423,1432,4123,4132,2314,2341,3214,3241,2413,2431,4213,4231} \right\}\)

The outcomes in A will be the ones where 1 is at the beginning.

The possible outcomes of A is represented as,

\(A = \left\{ {1324,1342,1423,1432} \right\}\)

04

Providing the possible outcomes of B

c.

B represents the event that 2 gets into the championship game.

Referring to the sample space of part a,

\(S = \left\{ {1324,3124,1342,3142,1423,1432,4123,4132,2314,2341,3214,3241,2413,2431,4213,4231} \right\}\)

The outcomes in B will be the ones where 2 is at any of the first two places.

The possible outcomes of B is represented as,

\(B = \left\{ {2314,2341,3214,3241,2413,2431,4213,4231} \right\}\)

05

List of the possible outcomes of union and intersection of events.

Referring to part b,

\(A = \left\{ {1324,1342,1423,1432} \right\}\)

Referring to part c,

\(B = \left\{ {2314,2341,3214,3241,2413,2431,4213,4231} \right\}\)

A union of two events A and B consists of all the outcomes that are either in A or B or in both events.

The possible outcomes in\(A \cup B\)is given as,

\(A \cup B = \left\{ {1324,1342,1423,1432,2314,2341,3214,3241,2413,2431,4213,4231} \right\}\)

The intersection of two events A and B consists of all the outcomes that are present in both events.

The possible outcomes in\(A \cap B\)is given as,

\(A \cap B = \phi \)

This implies that are no possible outcomes in\(A \cap B\).

The complementary of an event A consists of all the outcomes that are not contained in A.

The possible outcomes in\(A'\)are given by,

\(A' = \left\{ {3124,3142,4123,4132,2314,2341,3214,3241,2413,2431,4213,4231} \right\}\)

Consider randomly selecting a single individual and having that person test drive \({\rm{3}}\) different vehicles. Define events \({{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}\), \({{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}\), and \({{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}\) by

\({{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}\)=likes vehicle #\({\rm{1}}\)\({{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}\)= likes vehicle #\({\rm{2}}\)\({{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}\)=likes vehicle #\({\rm{3}}\)Suppose that\({\rm{ = }}{\rm{.65,}}\)\({\rm{P(}}{{\rm{A}}_3}{\rm{)}}\)\({\rm{ = }}{\rm{.70,}}\)\({\rm{P(}}{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}} \cup {{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{) = }}{\rm{.80,P(}}{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}} \cap {{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{) = 40,}}\)and\({\rm{P(}}{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}} \cup {{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}} \cup {{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{) = }}{\rm{.88}}{\rm{.}}\)

a. What is the probability that the individual likes both vehicle #\({\rm{1}}\)and vehicle #\({\rm{2}}\)?

b. Determine and interpret\({\rm{p}}\)(\({{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}\)|\({{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}\)).

c. Are \({{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}\)and \({{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}\)independent events? Answer in two different ways.

d. If you learn that the individual did not like vehicle #\({\rm{1}}\), what now is the probability that he/she liked at least one of the other two vehicles?

A computer consulting firm presently has bids out on three projects. Let \({A_i}\) = {awarded project i}, for i=1, 2, 3, and suppose that\(P\left( {{A_1}} \right) = .22,\;P\left( {{A_2}} \right) = .25,\;P\left( {{A_3}} \right) = .28,\;P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2}} \right) = .11,\;P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_3}} \right) = .05,\)\(P\left( {{A_2} \cap {A_3}} \right) = .07\),\(P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2} \cap {A_3}} \right) = .01\). Express in words each of the following events, and compute the probability of each event:

a. {\({A_1} \cup {A_2}\)}

b. \(A_1' \cap A_2'\)(Hint: \(\left( {{A_1} \cup {A_2}} \right)' = A_1' \cap A_2'\) )

c.\({A_1} \cup {A_2} \cup {A_3}\)

d. \(A_1' \cap A_2' \cap A_3'\)

e. \(A_1' \cap A_2' \cap {A_3}\)

f. \(\left( {A_1' \cap A_2'} \right) \cup {A_3}\)

In five-card poker, a straight consists of five cards with adjacent denominations (e.g., \({\rm{9}}\)of clubs, \({\rm{10}}\)of hearts, jack of hearts, queen of spades, and king of clubs). Assuming that aces can be high or low, if you are dealt a five-card hand, what is the probability that it will be a straight with high card \({\rm{10}}\)? What is the probability that it will be a straight? What is the probability that it will be a straight flush (all cards in the same suit)?

Human visual inspection of solder joints on printed circuit boards can be very subjective. Part of the problem stems from the numerous types of solder defects (e.g., pad non wetting, knee visibility, voids) and even the degree to which a joint possesses one or more of these defects. Consequently, even highly trained inspectors can disagree on the disposition of a particular joint. In one batch of 10,000 joints, inspector A found 724 that were judged defective, inspector B found 751 such joints, and 1159 of the joints were judged defective by at least one of the inspectors. Suppose that one of the 10,000 joints is randomly selected.

a. What is the probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by neither of the two inspectors?

b. What is the probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by inspector B but not by inspector A?

A certain factory operates three different shifts. Over the last year, 200 accidents have occurred at the factory. Some of these can be attributed at least in part to unsafe working conditions, whereas the others are unrelated to working conditions. The accompanying table gives the percentage of accidents falling in each type of accident鈥搒hift category.

Unsafe Unrelated

Conditions to Conditions

Day 10% 35%

Shift Swing 8% 20%

Night 5% 22%

Suppose one of the 200 accident reports is randomly selected from a file of reports, and the shift and type of accident are determined.

a. What are the simple events?

b. What is the probability that the selected accident was attributed to unsafe conditions?

c. What is the probability that the selected accident did not occur on the day shift?
