2.Suppose that P ( A B ) = 0.2 , P ( A B ) = 0.3 and P ( B ) = 0.8. Find P ( A) . 3.If P( A B ) = 0.4 , P ( B) = 0.8 , and P( A) = 0.5 . Are the event A and B independent? 4.If P ( A B ) = 0.3 , P ( B) = 0.8. , and P ( A) = 0.3 . Are the event B and the complement of A independent? 5.A lot of 100 semiconductor chips contains that are defective. Two are selected randomly, without replacement, from the lot. Given the following data: (i) (ii) (iii) What is the probability that the first one selected is defective? What is the probability that the second one selected is defective given that the first one was defective? What is the probability that both are defective?

6.A young boy asks his mother to get five Game-BoyTM cartridges from his collection of 10 arcade and 5 sports games. How many ways are there that his mother will get 3 arcade and 2 sports games, respectively? 7.In one year, three awards (research, teaching, and service) will be given for a class of 25 graduate students in a statistics department. If each student can receive at most one award, how many possible selections are there? 8.Samples of polycarbonate plastic are analyzed for scratch and shock resistance. The results from 50 samples are summarized as follows: Shock Resistance low

high

Scratch high 40 4 Resistance low 1 5 Let A denote the event that a sample has high shock resistance, and let B denote the event that a sample has high scratch resistance. Find: (i) (ii) The probability the sample has high shock and high scratch resistance. The probability the sample has high shock or high scratch resistance.
