Suppose your instructor wants to randomly choose one of the students in the class to ask a question. Suppose the probability that the instructor asks Sam, one of your classmates, is 0.05 and the probability that she/he asks John, another student in your class, is 0.07. What is the probability that the instructor asks one of these two students (assuming independence between these events)? What is wrong with the following statements? Explain your answer. a. The probability that a student misses a class is 0.04 and the probability that he attends the class is 0.9 b. P (A and B) = c. P (complement of A) = 0.7 given that P(A) = 0.7 Assume 1/3 of UBC students live outside the student housing, 5/9 are originally from BC and do not need student housing, and ¼ are neither from BC nor live in the student housing. If we randomly choose a student, what is the probability that the student is not from BC and lives in the student housing? The following table shows profit for 150 companies in 4 different industries: Less than or equal to 50 million | More than 50 million | Total Auto Industry | 17 | 15 | 32 Steel Industry | 35 | 30 | 65 Food Industry | 28 | 5 | 33 Wood Industry | 10 | 10 | 20 Total | 90 | 60 | 150 Assume we randomly choose a company, calculate the following probabilities: a. The company has a profit less than or equal to 50 million. b. The company is from the Auto industry. c. The company is from the auto industry and has profit more than 50 million. d. The company is either from the auto company or has a profit more than 50 million. e. The company is from the auto industry given it has profit more than 50 million. f. The company has a profit less than 50 million given it is not from the auto industry.

Consider randomly selecting a student at a large university, and let A be the event that the selected student has a Visa card and B be the analogous event for MasterCard. Suppose that P(A) = 0.7 and P(B) = 0.3. (a) Could it be the case that P(A ∩ B) = 0.5? Why or why not? [Hint: For any two sets A and B if A is a subset of B then P(A) ≤ P(B).] Yes, this is possible. Since A ∩ B is contained in the event B, it must be the case that P(B) ≤ P(A ∩ B) and 0.5 > 0.3 does not violate this requirement. Yes, this is possible. Since B is contained in the event A ∩ B, it must be the case that P(B) ≤ P(A ∩ B) and 0.5 > 0.3 does not violate this requirement. No, this is not possible. Since A ∩ B is contained in the event B, it must be the case that P(A ∩ B) ≤ P(B). However 0.5 > 0.3 violates this requirement. No, this is not possible. Since B is contained in the event A ∩ B, it must be the case that P(A ∩ B) ≤ P(B). However 0.5 > 0.3 violates this requirement. No, this is not possible. Since B is equal to A ∩ B, it must be the case that P(A ∩ B) = P(B). However 0.5 > 0.3 violates this requirement. (b) From now on, suppose that P(A ∩ B) = 0.2. What is the probability that the selected student has at least one of these two types of cards? Put another way, what is the probability that a student has a Visa card or a MasterCard? (c) What is the probability that the selected student has neither type of card? (d) Describe, in terms of A and B, the event that the selected student has a Visa card but not a MasterCard. A' ∪ B A ∪ B' A ∩ B' A' ∩ B Calculate the probability of this event. (e) Calculate the probability that the selected student has exactly one of the two types of cards.

Tammy is a general contractor and has submitted two bids for two projects (A and B). The probability of getting project A is 0.65. The probability of getting project B is 0.77. The probability of getting at least one of the projects is 0.90. What is the probability that she will get both projects? In other words, P(A∩B)? Are the events of getting the two projects mutually exclusive? Explain, using probabilities. Are the two events independent? Explain, using probabilities. Assume you are taking two courses this semester (A and B). The probability that you will pass course A is P(A) = 0.835, the probability that you will pass both courses is P(A∩B) = 0.276. The probability that you will pass at least one of the courses is P(A ∪ B) = 0.981. What is the probability that you will pass course B? (Hint: use the addition law to find P(B).) Is the passing of the two courses independent events? Use probability information to justify your answer. Are the events of passing the courses mutually exclusive? Explain. Assume you have applied to two different universities (let's refer to them as Universities A and B) for your graduate work. In the past, 25% of students (with similar credentials as yours) who applied to University A were accepted, while University B accepted 35% of the applicants. Assume events are independent of each other. What is the probability that you will be accepted to both universities? What is the probability that you will be accepted to at least one graduate program? What is the probability that one and only one of the universities will accept you? What is the probability that neither university will accept you?

0:00 To answer.
00:01 For the first one we have a and b are mutually exclusive and they give us the probabilities for a and b.
00:07 We want to know the probability of either a or b.
00:10 So to do that we need to just simply add .3 plus .2 and get .5.
00:16 Then next we have the kids play a two digit number and they try to guess the number in three attempts.
00:22 What is the probability that they think of a number between 20 and 29? well how many numbers are between 20 and 29? 10.
00:32 And how many 10 digit numbers? 100.
00:35 So we're looking at 1 tenth.
00:37 Three.
00:38 The table below shows the number of different departments in college student union.
00:43 Which type of probability would you use if you were going to calculate the probability of randomly selecting a student from the finance department? so the numbers really don't matter here.
00:55 We're going to be using, the table shows the number, we're using empirical probability because we're doing this from an experiment.
01:08 Empirical.
01:10 Or from information given.
01:12 So we're going to see here four.
01:16 I don't know what the numbers are.
01:17 I guess maybe what's the probability? so for finance we're looking at 10 people out of 10, 20, 25, 28, 34 people.
01:31 So let's see what that is as a decimal.
01:33 10 divided by 34 would be .29.
01:39 Okay i don't see that number.
01:40 Yeah that's going to be d.
01:43 So we're going to see number four...
