ThenP(A) = 0.10,P(B) = 0.30,andP(lose both) = 0.65 = 1P(AB), which implies thatP(AB) = 0.35. Therefore,P(AB) = 0.10 + 0.300.35 = 0.05, soP(State wins exactly once) =P(AB)P(AB)= 0.350.05 = 0.30.2.3.12SinceA1andA2are mutually exclusive and cover the entire sample space,p1+p2= 1.But 3p1p2=12, sop2=58.2.3.13LetF: female is hired andT: minority is hired. ThenP(F) = 0.60,P(T) = 0.30, andP(FCTC) = 0.25 = 1P(FT). SinceP(FT) = 0.75,P(FT)= 0.60 + 0.300.75 = 0.15.2.3.14The smallest value ofP[(ABC)C] occurs whenP(ABC) is as large as possible.This, in turn, occurs whenA,B, andCare mutually disjoint. The largest value forP(ABC) isP(A) +P(B) +P(C) = 0.2 + 0.1 + 0.3 = 0.6.

There are 48 ways tochoose the card that is not an ace, so there are 448 = 192 sets of cards where exactly threeare aces. That gives 193 sets where there are at least three aces. The conditional probability is(1/270,725)/(193/270,725) = 1/193.2.4.15First note thatP(AB) = 1P[(AB)C] = 10.2 = 0.8.ThenP(B) =P(AB)P(ABC)P(AB) = 0.80.30.1 = 0.5.FinallyP(A|B) =P(AB)/P(B) = 0.1/0.5 = 1/52.4.16P(A|B) = 0.5 impliesP(AB) = 0.5P(B).P(B|A) = 0.4 impliesP(AB) = (0.4)P(A).Thus, 0.5P(B) = 0.4P(A) orP(B) = 0.8P(A).Then, 0.9 =P(A) +P(B) =P(A) + 0.8P(A) orP(A) = 0.9/1.8 = 0.5.2.4.17P[(AB)C] =P[(AB)C] +P(ABC) +P(ACB) = 0.2 + 0.1 + 0.3 = 0.6P(AB|(AB)C) =P[(ABC)(ACB)]/P((AB)C) = [0.1 + 0.3]/0.6 = 2/32.4.18P(sum8|at least one die shows 5)=P(sum8 and at least one die shows 5)/P(at least one die shows 5)=P({(5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 6), (3, 5), (4, 5), (6, 5), (5, 5)})/(11/36) = 7/112.4.19P(Outandout wins|Australian Doll and Dusty Stake don’t win)=P(Outandout wins and Australian Doll and Dusty Stake don’t win)/P(Australian Doll andDusty Stake don’t win) = 0.20/0.55 = 20/552.4.20Suppose the guard will randomly choose to name Bob or Charley if they are the two to gofree. Then the probability the guard will name Bob, for example, isP(Andy, Bob) + (1/2)P(Bob, Charley) = 1/3 + (1/2)(1/3) = 1/2.The probability Andy will go free given the guard names Bob isP(Andy, Bob)/P(Guardnames Bob) = (1/3)/(1/2) = 2/3. A similar argument holds for the guard naming Charley.Andy’s concern is not justified.

Assume the gamesare independent. The probability of the event is(0.6)(0.50)(0.6)(0.3) + (0.4)(0.50)(0.6)(0.3) + (0.4)(0.50)(0.4)(0.3) + (0.4)(0.50)(0.6)(0.7)+ (0.4)(0.50)(0.6)(0.3) = 0.234.The probability of a bowl appearance is 1 – 0.234 = 0.766.(b) LetkA= probability team wins exactlykgames,k= 3,4.Then4344344434343434[()][()]()()(|)()()()P AAAPAAAPP AP AAAP AAP AAP AA But this does not equal4()P A.(c) Yes, the two events are independent.2.4.24(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)(2/3)(3/4) = 1/162.4.25LetAibe the event “Bearing came from supplieri”,i= 1, 2, 3. LetBbe the event “Bearing intoy manufacturer’s inventory is defective.”ThenP(A1) = 0.5,P(A2) = 0.3,P(A3) = 0.2 andP(B|A1) = 0.02,P(B|A2) = 0.03,P(B|A3) = 0.04Combining these probabilities according to Theorem 2.4.1 givesP(B) = (0.02)(0.5) + (0.03)(0.3) + (0.04)(0.2)= 0.027meaning that the manufacturer can expect 2.7% of her ball-bearing stock to be defective.2.4.26LetBbe the event that the face (or sum of faces) equals 6. LetA1be the event that a Headcomes up andA2, the event that a Tail comes up. ThenP(B) =P(B|A1)P(A1) +P(B|A2)P(A2)= 115162362= 0.15.2.4.27LetBbe the event that the countries go to war. LetAbe the event that terrorism increases.ThenP(B) =P(B|A)P(A) +P(B|AC)P(AC) = (0.65)(0.30) + (0.05)(0.70) = 0.23.2.4.28LetBbe the event that a donation is received; letA1,A2, andA3denote the events that the callis placed to Belle Meade, Oak Hill, and Antioch, respectively.ThenP(B) =31100010002000()()(0.60)(0.55)(0.35)0.46400040004000iiiP B A P A.2.4.29LetBdenote the event that the person interviewed answers truthfully, and letAbe the eventthat the person interviewed is a man.ThenP(B) =P(B|A)P(A) +P(B|AC)P(AC) = (0.78)(0.47) + (0.63)(0.53) = 0.70.
