Police plan to enforce speed limits during the morning rush hour on four different routes into the city. The traps on routes A, B, C, and D are operated 40% , 30%, 20%, and 30% of the time, respectively. Biff always speeds to work, and he has probability 0.2, 0.1, 0.5, and 0.2 of using those routes. (Show your work) a) What is the probability that he'll get a ticket on any one morning? b)What is the probability he'll go five mornings without a ticket?

(a) If the lab usually processes 500 samples per day, what is the expected number of failures per day? (b) What is the probability that the machine will not fail during a study that includes 500 participants? (assume one sample per participant.) Ans. (0.05, 0.9512)
Four individuals wish to traverse an unstable bridge; they all start on the same side. You have 17 minutes to get everyone to the opposite side. Night has fallen, and they have only one torch. Two individuals may cross the bridge at once at most. Any crossing party, whether one or two individuals, must carry a torch. The torch must be carried back and forth; it cannot, for instance, be hurled. Person 1 crosses the bridge in one minute, person 2 in two minutes, person 3 in five minutes, and person 4 in ten minutes. A dyad must trek together at the slower individual's cadence. Create the algorithm specification that solves the problem.
The world queen in the new post-apocalyptic world is extremely worried about the birth rate. She therefore orders that every family must have at least one daughter or else pay hefty fines. What will the gender ratio of the next generation be if all families adhere to this policy, which requires them to keep having children until they have one girl, at which point they immediately stop? (Presume that all pregnancies have an equal chance of producing a boy or a girl.) Write a computer simulation of this problem when you have logically resolved it.

The world monarch in the new post-apocalyptic world is extremely worried about the birth rate. She therefore orders that every family must have at least one female or else pay hefty fines. What will the gender ratio of the next generation be if all families adhere to this policy, which requires them to keep having children until they have one girl, at which time they immediately stop? (Presume that all pregnancies have an equal chance of producing a male or a girl.) Write a computer simulation of this problem after you have rationally resolved it.
2. A box contains three fair coins, and two trick coins that have heads on both sides. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected coin from the box will come up heads when flipped? (b) Suppose you randomly pick a coin from the box and flip it, and it comes up heads. What is the probability that it's one of the trick coins? (c) Let X be the random variable that represents the number of heads when every coin in the box is flipped. What is the probability distribution of X? (Hint: you can try counting all the outcomes, or you can remember that coin flips are independent of each other.) (d) What is the expected number of heads when all the coins are flipped?
Three prisoners have been sentenced to long terms in prison, but due to over crowed conditions, one prisoner must be released. The warden devises a scheme to determine which prisoner is to be released. He tells the prisoners that he will blindfold them and then paint a red dot or blue dot on each forehead. After he paints the dots, he will remove the blindfolds, and a prisoner should raise his hand if he sees at least one red dot on the other two prisoners. The first prisoner to identify the color of the dot on his own forehead will be release. Of course, the prisoners agree to this. (What do they have to lose?) The warden blindfolds the prisoners, as promised, and then paints a red dot on the foreheads of all three prisoners. He removes the blindfolds and, since each prisoner sees a red dot (in fact two red dots), each prisoner raises his hand. Some time passes when one of the prisoners exclaims, "I know what color my dot is! It's red!" This prisoner is then released. Your problem…
