Suppose there is a bag containing 15 red marbles (R), 15 violet marbles (V), 15 indigo marbles (I), and 15 yellow marbles (Y). Somone mixes the marbles thorougly, draws one marble at random, puts the marble back in the bag, mixes the bag thoroughly, and draws another marble at random. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. (a) List all possible marble-color outcomes of this process. (b) Make the probability distribution showing the probability of drawing 0, 1, and 2 violet marbles. Simplify your answers (fractions or decimals)

Suppose that 20% of the adult population in Palestine smoke cigarettes only, 15% smoke Argeeleh only, and 10% smoke both cigarettes and Argeeleh. Suppose that 15% of those who smoke cigarettes only have respiratory problems, 10% of those who smoke Agreeleh only have respiratory problems, 20% of those who smoke both cigarettes and Argeeleh have respiratory problems, and 5% of non-smokers have respiratory problems. If an adult person is randomly selected from the population: What is the probability that he/she has respiratory problems? If the selected individual has respiratory problems, what is the probability that he/she is non-smoker? If the selected individual has respiratory problems, what is the probability that he/she smokes both cigarettes and Argeeleh?
A teacher has two large containers filled with blue, red, and green beads, and claims the proportion of red beads is the same in each container. The students believe the proportions are different. Each student shakes the first container, selects 50 beads, counts the number of red beads, and returns the beads to the container. The student repeats this process for the second container. One student’s samples contained 10 red beads from the first container and 16 red beads from the second container. Let p1 = the true proportion of red beads in container 1 and p2 = the true proportion of red beads in container 2. Which of the following are the correct hypotheses to test the students’ claim?
In a survey of 300 students of a college, it was found that 49% liked watching football, 53% liked watching hockey and 62% liked watching basketball. Also, 27% liked watching both football and hockey, 29% liked watching both basketball and hockey and 28% liked watching both football and basket ball. and 5% liked watching none of these games. a) The number of students like watching all the three games is Blank 1 b) The number of students who like watching only one of the three given games is Blank 2 c) The number of students who like watching at least two of the given games Blank 3 Blank 1 Add your answer Blank 2 Add your answer Blank 3 Add your answer
Buu has 6 different types (named 1 to 6) of chocolates (in large quantity). Now he plays a game to eat those chocolates. He throws a die (of six sides, non-biased, if the die shows 1, he eats chocolate 1. If the die shows 2, he eats chocolate 2 and so on. Now let X be the number of chocolates of type 1 are eaten and Y be the number of chocolates of type 2 are eaten. What is joint PMF of X and Y ?(Total number of times he roll the die is 4.)
Spam Email Filters. A study by Forbes indicated that the five most common words appearing in spam emails are shipping!, today!, here!, available, and fingertips!. Many spam filters separate spam from ham (email not considered to be spam) through application of Bayes' theorem. Suppose that for one email account, 1 in every 10 messages is spam and the proportions of spam messages that have the five most common words in spam email are given below. shipping! 0.051 today! 0.045 here! 0.034 available 0.014 fingertips! 0.014 Also suppose that the proportions of ham messages that have these words are: shipping! 0.0015 today! 0.0022 here! 0.0022 available 0.0041 fingertips! 0.0011 a. If a message includes the word shipping!, what is the probability the message is spam? If a message includes the word shipping!, what is the probability the message is ham? Should messages that include the word shipping! be flagged as spam? b. If a message includes the word…

You are trying frantically to get dressed, and you need to reach into your sock drawer to get two matching socks in the dark. Your sock drawer contains 20 socks, consisting of 10 matched pairs. All of them are only black or white, and they are loose, disorganized randomly, and not bound together. This means you have 10 black and 10 white socks in your disorganized drawer. This makes 10 total matching pairs of 5 pairs of white and 5 pairs of black. 1. How can you guarantee success of picking a matching pair? In other words, what is the minimum number of socks needing to be picked to guarantee a matching pair? (Hint: There is a right answer to this question!) 2. Explain dependent and independent trials
At the beginning of a game of chess, the back row consists of two (identical) rooks on the corners, then two knights next to them, then two bishops, and finally a king and a queen in the center. Bobby Fischer, an American chess legend, popularized the idea of randomly shuffled starting positions. Inhow many distinct ways can the eight pieces above be aligned?
