1.Suppose we have two bowls full of candies. Each bowl contains four different flavours of candy – grape (which are purple), lemon (which are yellow), cherry (which are red) and raspberry (which are also red).
(a) [1 Mark] We will randomly select one candy from each bowl. The outcome of interest is the flavour of each of the two candies. Write out the complete sample space of outcomes.
(b) [1 Mark] Suppose instead that we randomly select one candy from each bowl, and the outcome of interest is the colour of each of the two selected candies. Write out the complete sample space of outcomes.
Now suppose: Bowl # 1 contains 2 grape candies, 7 lemon candies, 8 cherry candies and 3 raspberry candies.
Bowl # 2 contains 6 grape candies, 5 lemon candies, 2 cherry candies and 7 raspberry candies.
(c) [1 Mark] What is the probability that the two selected candies are the same flavour?
(d) [1 Mark] What is the probability that the two selected candies are different colours?
(e) [1 Mark] What is the probability that the first selected candy is lemon or that the second selected candy is cherry?
(f) [1 Mark] Let X be the number of grape candies that are selected. Find the probability distribution of X.

Consider: two unopened bags of candy (one Skittles, the other M&M's). The manufacturers state the distribution of coloured candies is: M&M's: 23% blue, 21% orange, 17% green, 13% yellow, 12% red, 14% brown Skittles: colours are reportedly distributed evenly, meaning each colour (red, orange, green, blue, yellow, and purple) has a probability of 1/6. Assume that both of these unopened bags have the same number of candies. If they are opened and mixed, and one candy is randomly selected, what...

Bags of plain M&Ms contain 24% blue candies. You have four bags of candy and select one candy from each bag. The random variable x represents the number of blue candies selected. The selected candy can be classified as either being blue (B) or not being blue (N). Answer the following questions based on this data. As always, you must show all work and formulas used in order to receive full credit. Round all decimals to three places 1. Draw...

we have four boxes. box #1 contains 2000 components of which 100 are defective. Box #2 contains 500 components of which 200 are defective. boxes #3 and #4 each contain 1000 components with 100 of them being defective. a box is selected by ruling a fair four sided die and then a single item is randomly chosen from the box. a.What is the probability that the selected component is defective? b. if the selected item is defective, find the probability...

We have four fair coins, each of which has probability 1/2 of having a heads outcome and a tails outcome. The experiment is to ip all four coins and observe the sequence of heads and tails. For example, outcome HTHH means coin 1 was heads, coin 2 was tails, coin 3 was heads, coin 4 was heads Note that there are 16 total outcomes, and we assume that each one is equally likely. What is the probability that at there...
