Dividing a JackpotA game between two players consists of tossing a 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 8,000 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 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. Perform the experiment 80 or more times, and estimate the probability that player A wins. bCalculate the probability that player A wins. Compare with your estimate from part a.
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).
Breast Cancer To explain why the chance of a woman getting breast cancer in the next year goes up each year, while the chance of a woman getting breast cancer in her lifetime goes down, Ruma Falk made the following analogy. Suppose you are looking for a letter that you may have lost. You have 8 drawers in your desk. There is a probability of 0.1 that the letter is in any one of the 8 drawers and a probability of 0.2 that the letter is not in any of the drawers. Source: Chance News. a. What is the probability that the letter is in drawer 1? b. Given that the letter is not in drawer 1, what is the probability that the letter is in drawer 2? c. Given that the letter is not in drawer 1 or 2, what is the probability that the letter is in drawer 3? d. Given that the letter is not in drawers 17, what is the probability that the letter is in drawer 8? e. Based on your answers to parts ad, what is happening to the probability that the letter is in the next drawer? f. What is the probability that the letter is in some drawer? g.
