There are five cars on display as prizes, and their five ignition keys are in box, You get to pick one key out of the box and try it in the ignition of one car. If it fits, you win the car. What are your chances of winning a car?
Suppose if you are in the audience, find the probability that the contestant will win the car you have selected.
1.
Sample space (total number of combinations between keys and cars) = 5 keys x 5 cars = 25 possible situations
Favorable cases = 5 (one of the 5 cars can be won)
Probability = Favorable cases / Sample space = 5/25 = 0.2
2. If a car is already chosen by me, only 1 of the 5 keys to choose from will fit the selected car. Essentially there is only 1 car and 5 keys, one of which is the correct key. So probability is 1/5 or 0.2

PROBABLITY 2A. Suppose that there is a prize ceremony awarding prizes to 10 finalists. Each finalist is going to get exactly one prize, but assume that each has an equal probability of receiving any given prize. The grand prize is $5000, there are 2 prizes of $2000, 2 prizes of $1000 and 5 prizes of $200. Let X represent the amount of money won by one prize recipient. Find E(X), var(X) and σ for X. 2B. A pair of dice...

There are 10 balls in a box. 2 of them are red and the other 8 are white. John draws one ball randomly from the box. Then Emily draw another ball randomly from the remaining 9 balls. Let E be the event that John draws a red ball. Let F be the event that Emily draws a red ball. (i) Write out P(E), P(F|E), P(F|EC) directly. (ii) Find out P(F). (Hint: Apply the law of total probability) Suppose that they...
