Dividing a Jackpot A game between two pIayers consists of tossing coin. Player A gets a point if the coin shows heads, and player B gets a point if it shows tails. The first player to get six points wins an $8000 jackpot. As it happens, the police raid the place when player A has five points and B has three points. After everyone has calmed down, how should the jackpot be divided between the two players? In other words, what is the probability of A winning (and that of B winning) if the game were to continue? The French mathematicians Pascal and Fermat corresponded about this problem, and both came to the same correct conclusion (though by very different reasoning's). Their friend Roberval disagreed with both of them. He argued that player A has probability of Winning, because the game can end in the four ways H, TH, TTH, TTT, and in three of these, A wins. Roberval’s reasoning was wrong. Continue the game from the point at which it was interrupted, using either a coin or a modeling program. Perform this experiment 80 or more times, and estimate the probability that player A wins. Calculate the probability that player A wins. Compare with your estimate from part (a).

The French Mathematician Pascal and Fermat corresponded about this problem, and both came to the same correct calculations though by very different reasonings. Their friend Roberval disagreed with both of them. He argued that player A has probability 34 of winning, because the game can end in the four ways H, TH, TTH, TTT and in three of these, A wins. Robervals reasoning was wrong. a Continue the game from the point at which it was interrupted, using either a coin or a modeling program.

Family Planning A intend to have two children. What is tie probability that they will have child of each sex? The French mathematician IY Alembert analyzed this problem (incorrectly) by reasoning that three outcomes are possible: or two girls, or one child of each sex. He concluded that probability of having of each sex is mistakenly assuming that three outcomes are likely. (a) Model this problem with a pair of coins (using "heads" for boys and "tails" for girls). or write a program to model of problem. perform the experiment 40 mere times. Counting the number of boy-girl combinations. Estimate the probability of having child of each. (b) Calculate the correct probability of having one child of each sex and compare this with your result from part (a).

Determine if the statement is true or false. If the statement is false, then correct it and make it true. Events that cannot occur simultaneously are called mutually exclusive events. If one card is randomly selected from a deck of cards, drawing a jack or a queen would be mutually exclusive events.
Determine if the statement is true or false. If the statement is false, then correct it and make it true. Events that can occur simultaneously are called non-mutually exclusive events. If one card is randomly selected from a deck of cards, drawing a jack or a heart would be non-mutually exclusive events.
