Concept explainers
Golf Bud is a very consistent golfer. On par-three holes, he always scores a 4. Lou, on the other hand, is quite erratic. On par-three holes, Lou scores a 3 seventy percent of the time and scores a 6 thirty percent of the time.
(a) If Bud and Lou play a single par-three hole together, who is more likely to win—-that is, to have the lowest score?
(b) If Bud and Lou play two consecutive par-three holes, who is more likely to have the lowest total score?

- If P(AB)=0.7, is it possible that P(BA)=0.6? Explainarrow_forwardIt is common to report a golfer's score on a hole in relation to par. For example, one stroke over par is a bogey and two strokes over par is a double bogey. Scores one, two, or three strokes below par are respectively a birdie, an eagle, or the extremely rare albatross. (a) Erratic Ernie scored 1 albatross, 3 eagles, 3 birdies, 7 pars, 2 bogeys, and 2 double bogeys on a par-69 eighteen-hole course. What was Ernie's score for the round? (b) In July 2013, Erratic Ernie started with 4 pars, but then shot a course record 8 straight birdies on holes 5 through 12. He followed this feat with bogeys on the next three holes and finished the round with pars. What was his final score on the par-69 course?arrow_forwardIf P(A)=.5, P(B)= .5, and P(A and B)= .47, find P(A or B)arrow_forward
