Math Assignment Chap 4

The document provides examples and definitions related to probability concepts: 1. It defines a sample space as the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment. 2. Equally likely events are events that have the same probability of occurring. 3. The probability of an event ranges from 0 to 1, with 1 being a certain event and 0 being an impossible event. 4. The sum of the probabilities of all outcomes in a sample space is 1.

Section 4-1

2. Define sample space.

=is the set of all possible outcomes of a probability experiment

4. What are equally likely events?

=are events that have the same probability of occurring

5. What is the range of the values of the probability of an

event?

=0-1

6. When an event is certain to occur, what is its probability?

=close to 1

7.If an event cannot happen, what value is assigned to its

probability?

=0

8. What is the sum of the probabilities of all the outcomes

in a sample space?

9. If the probability that it will rain tomorrow is 0.20,

what is the probability that it won’t rain tomorrow?

Would you recommend taking an umbrella?

=probability that it won’t rain is 0.80….no, I will not recommend it

10. A probability experiment is conducted. Which of these

cannot be considered a probability outcome?

a.

_
3

d. 1.65

g. 1

b. 0.63

e. −0.44

h. 125%

c.

f. 0

i. 24%

=e & h

21. Human Blood Types Human blood is grouped into

four types. The percentages of Americans with each

type are listed below.

O 43% A 40% B 12% AB 5%

Choose one American at random. Find the probability

that this person

a. Has type B blood

=12%

b. Has type AB or O blood

=48%

c. Does not have type O blood

=100%-43%=57%
25. Gender of Children A couple has 4 children. Find

each probability.

a. All girls =1/4

b. Exactly two girls and two boys

=2/2

d. At least one child who is a girl

=1/4

e. At least one child of each gender

=2/4 boys 2/4 girls

32. Living Arrangements for Children Here are the

living arrangements of children under 18 years old

living in the United States in a recent year. Numbers are

in thousands.

Both parents 51,823

Mother only 17,283

Father only 2,572

Neither parent 3,041

Choose one child at random; what is the probability

that the child lives with both parents? With the mother

present?

-both parent 51823/74719=69.4%

-with the mother (17283/74719)=23.1

35. Selecting a Bill A box contains a $1 bill, a $5 bill, a

$10 bill, and a $20 bill. A bill is selected at random, and

it is not replaced; then a second bill is selected at random.

Draw a tree diagram and determine the sample space.

38. Family Dinner Combinations A family special at


a neighborhood restaurant offers dinner for four for

$39.99. There are 3 appetizers available, 4 entrees, and

3 desserts from which to choose. The special includes

one of each. Represent the possible dinner combinations
