MATH 350 Homework 03

  1. Let A,BSA, B \subseteq S. Suppose that P[A]=0.25,P[B]=0.84\mathbb{P}[A] = 0.25, \mathbb{P}[B] = 0.84, and P[AB]=0.17\mathbb{P}[A \cap B] = 0.17. What is the probability that AA or BB but not both occur?
  2. During the first week of the 2023 fall semester at Chico State, the movie Big Boss Baby was shown twice. Among the entering class of 5,524 students, 1039 saw the movie the first time, 823 students saw the movie the second time, and 3,783 did not see the movie either time. How many students saw the movie twice?
  3. Define the events A,B,CA, B, C as A={x:0x3.4}A = \{ x: 0 \leq x \leq 3.4 \} B={x:2.3x5.1}B = \{ x: 2.3 \leq x \leq 5.1 \} C={x:x=0,1,2,}C = \{ x: x = 0, 1, 2, \ldots \}

    Find ABCA \cap B \cap C.

  4. Let P\mathbb{P} be a uniform distribution over an American roulette wheel. Let the event AA be that the ball drops in a pocket with number less than 1010 or greater than 3030? Write out your answer both in symbols, using cardinality, and numbers, as a fraction.
  5. Consider the following table giving counts for the types of each coffee purchased at my favorite coffee shop within a weekend.
    Small Medium Large
    regular 19 23 22
    decaf 20 15 17
    1. What is the probability that someone orders a small cup of coffee?
    2. What is the probability that someone orders a decaf cup of coffee?
  6. Let AA and BB be independent events with P[A]=0.62\mathbb{P}[A] = 0.62 and P[B]=0.3\mathbb{P}[B] = 0.3. Find

    2. P[AB]\mathbb{P}[A \cup B]
