Tutorial 6

Mathematics 2 MTH1022

Tutorial 7 (Topic 7 Basic Probability) 1. Let S be the sample space of experiment throwing ordinary dice, once. Define some events from this sample space. 2. If S and T are two events and P(T) = 0.4, ( ( ) a. ( ) b. ( ) c. ) and ( ) , find:

3. A bag contains 6 packets of nuts: 3 packets of groundnuts, 2 packets of hazelnuts and a packet of almond. What is the probability of choosing randomly a packet groundnut and almond? 4. Jamil always goes to school in one of the following ways: Probability 0.4 0.1 0.3 0.2

By bicycle By car By bus By foot

Calculate the probability that: a. He will either walk or go by bus b. He will go to school in a vehicle 5. In a group of 20 adults, out of 7 women wear glasses and out of 13 men wear glasses. What is the probability that a person chosen at random from this group is a woman or someone who wear glasses? 6. In a group of 30 students, all study at least one of the subjects physics and biology, 20 attend the physics class and 21 attend the biology class. Find the probability that a student chosen at random studies both physics and biology.
