Use the complement rule:
1) What is the probability of not drawing a 10 or a spade? Let A be
the event of drawing a 19. Let B be the event of drawing a
spade.
2) If five coins are flipped, what is the probability of obtaining at least one head?
1)
compliment rule,
P(no X) = 1- P(X)
Let A be the event of drawing a 10. Let B be the event of drawing a spade.
total cards =52
P(drawing a 10 or spade) = P(A U B) = P(A)+P(B) - P(A n B) = 4/52 + 13/50 - 1/52 = 16/52 = 4/13
P(not drawing a 10 or a spade) = 1 - P(A U B) = 1 - 4/13 = 9/13
2)
P(head) = P(tail) = 0.5
P(no head) = P(all tail) = 0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5=0.03125
P(at least one head) = 1 - P(no head) = 1 - 0.03125 = 0.96875

1.) Determine whether the following individual events are overlapping or non-overlapping. Then find the probability of the combined event. -Getting a sum of either 2 or 5 on a roll of two dice 2.) Use the "at least once" rule to find the probabilities of the following event. Getting at least one head when tossing four fair coins. (What is the probability) 3) Determine the probability of having 1 girl and 3 boys in a 4-child family assuming boys and...
18. The Complement rule states that the probability of an event not occurring is A. equal to one minus the probability it will occur. B. equal to one minus the probability it will not occur. C. equal to 0.0 D. equal to 1.0 E. None of the above
4. The Probability Calculus- Restricted Disjunction Rule To calculate the probability that either of two events will occur when the events are mutually exclusive, use the restricted disjunction rule. Two events are mutually exclusive if they cannot both occur at the same time. To calculate the probability of either of two mutually exclusive events (A and B) occurring, according to the restricted disjunction rule, use the following formula P(A or B) P(A)P(B) This formula tells you that the probability of...
if 5 fair coins flipped what is the probability of getting at least 2 heads and 2 tails given that there is at least 1 head and 1 tail?
1. be recorded. Define events Eli heads are observed, of the two faces is equally likely to hand face-up. Three balanced coins will be flipped once and the number of heads that land face-up is to 0,1,2,3. Note: "balanced" means each a. List all the outcomes in the Sample Space. b. Calculate the probability of each event, Eo,.., E c. Let A be the event "at least one head is observed". Calculate P(E2A) and P(AIE2)
1.)Use the definitions given in the text to find both the odds for and the odds against the following event. Flipping 2 fair coins and getting 2 tails. The odds for getting 2 tails are to what to what.(Type a whole number.) The odds against getting 2 tails are what to what. (Type a whole number.) 2.)Determine whether the following individual events are overlapping or non-overlapping. Then find the probability of the combined event. Getting a sum of either 2...
Use the at least once rule to find the probabilities of the following events? 1.) Getting at least one tail when tossing five fair coins? 2.) Getting at least one 50 year flood in the next ten years?
There are two coins in a sack. They look and feel identical in every way, except that one is a regular coin with a head and tail side; the other is a 2 headed coin with a head on both sides. When the regular coin is flipped, H and T each show with probability .5. When the 2 headed coin is flipped, H shows with probability 1. Each coin is equally likely to be pulled out of the sack. A...
5. For the each of the three parts, (i) Write, in words, the complement of each event. (ii) List all outcomes in the complement. (a) You flip two coins and at most one head comes up. (Again, look at the prompt above.) (b) You roll two dice and no 5' appears. (3.3.2) (c) A basketball player will miss at least one of the next three free throws. (3.3.3) For each of the following three problems, suppose a couple has three...
