SN Questions CO
1. Consider randomly selecting a single individual and having that person test CO1
drive 3 different vehicles. Define events A1, A2, and A3 by A1 = likes vehicle #1,
A2 = likes vehicle #2, A3 =likes vehicle #3. Suppose that P ( A1 )  0.65,
P ( A2 )  0.55, P ( A3 )  0.70, P ( A1  A2 )  0.80, P ( A2  A3 )  0.40, and
P ( A1  A2  A3 )  0.88 .
a. What is the probability that the individual likes both vehicle #1 and vehicle
#3 but not #2?
b. What is the probability that the individual likes only one of the vehicles, i.e.,
(only #1 or only #2 or only #3)?
c. Are A1, A2 and A3 independent events?
2. Four customers purchasing a refrigerator a t a certain appliance store, let A be CO1
the event that the refrigerator was manufactured in the U.S., B be the event
that the refrigerator had an icemaker and C be the event that the customer
purchased an extended warranty. Relevant probabilities are
� � = 0.75, � �|� = 0.9, � � �' = 0.8, � � � ∩ � = 0.8,
� � � ∩ �' = 0.6, � � �' ∩ � = 0.7, � � �' ∩ �' = 0.3
a. Construct a tree diagram consisting of first, second, and third
generation branches and place and event labeled and
appropriate probabilities next to each branch.
b. Compute � � ∪ � , � � ∪ � , � � ∪ � , �(� ∪ � ∪ �).
c. Are A, B and C independent?
3. After all students have left the classroom, a statistics professor notices that four copies of CO2
the text were left under desks. At the beginning of the next lecture, the professor
distributes the four books in a completely random fashion to each of the four students
(1, 2, 3, and 4) who claim to have left books. One possible outcome is that 1 receives 2’s
book, 2 receives 4’s book, 3 receives his or her own book, and 4 receives 1’s book. This
outcome can be abbreviated as (2, 4, 3, 1).
a. Find the sample space �.
b. Find the image of � if � = � � , � ∈ � , denote the number of students who
receive their own book.
c. If the events �� = � ∈ �: � � = � , list the sample points of the events �� ’s. Prove
that the events �� ’s are mutually exclusive and exhaustive.
d. Find the probability value � �1 ∪ �2
4. An insurance company offers its policyholders a number of different CO2
premium payment options. For a randomly selected policyholder, let � =
number of months between successive payments. The cdf of � is as
follows:
0 �<1
0.30 1 ≤ � < 3
0.40 3 ≤ � < 4
� � =
0. 45 4 ≤ � < 6
0.60 6 ≤ � < 12
1 12 ≤ �.
a. What is the pmf of � ?
b. Compute � 2� − 9 > 3 .
c. Given that the number of payments is at most 6, what is the
probability that the number of payments is at least 2.
5. A random variable X takes values 0,1,2, … with probability proportional to CO2
1 x
(x + 1) 5
. Find the probability that X ≤ 5.
