Solve the following problem on the classical definition of the probability. The group of students consists of 8 girls and 7 boys. For certification three of them are randomly selected. What is the probability that there will be exactly one boy among them? 2. What is the Bayes' formula? Formulate the theorem and name all of its terms. Solve the following problem. The student goes to the university on the first passing mode of transport. A bus approaches with a probability of 0.2, a fixed-route taxi with a probability of 0.5, for detecting a trolleybus and a tram, these probabilities are 0.15. The probability of getting stuck in a traffic jam for them is 0.4, 0.3, 0.4, 0.1, respectively. Find with the probability that the student will get stuck in a traffic jam. 3.

Define the two events E sum of the dice is 8 F = you roll at least one five You are wondering if E and F are independent events. To analyze this question you find the following information: P(E)= P(F) = P (EandF) = Since P(E) P(F) (a fraction in lowest form) (a fraction in lowest form) (a fraction in lowest form) (dependent/independent). (is, is not) equal to P(EandF), you conclude that E and F arearrow_forward
