Practice Set 2
A. 1. There are 200 names in a bowl and one is drawn as the door
prize winner. What is the probability that you win, assuming that
your name is in the bowl?
2. Suppose there are three doctors in a group of ten people. If a
person is selected at random, what is the probability that he or
she is a doctor?
3. Consider the sample space S = {s1, s2, s3, s4} in which:
Pr(s1) = 0.4
Pr(s2) = 0.2
Pr(s3) = 0.1
What is Pr(s4)?
4. A vehicle arriving at an intersection can turn left, turn right, or
continue straight ahead. If an experiment consists of observing
the movement of one vehicle at this intersection:
a. List the elements of the sample space (list of outcomes)
b. Attach probabilities to these elements if all possible
outcomes are equally likely
c. Find the probability that the vehicle turns, under the
assumption of part b above.
5. Hydraulic assemblies for landing gear coming from an aircraft
rework facility are inspected for defects. History shows that 8%
have defects in the shafts alone, 6% have defects in the
bushings alone, and 2% have defects in both shafts and
bushings. If a randomly chosen assembly is to be used on
aircraft, find the probability that it has
a. a bushing defect
b. a shaft or bushing defect
c. only one of the two types of defects
d. no defects in shafts or bushings
B. 1. Which of the ff are binomial random variables?
a. The number of accidents per week involving alcohol in the
Philippines
b. The number of violent crimes committed per month in Q.C.
c. The number of successful heart transplants out of five
patients
d. The length of a prison term for possession of shabu
e. The number of OFW applicants who are gypped by the
recruitment agency
(gyp = Fil: linlang)

2. A basketball player has a 50% chance of making a free throw.


Out of two tries, what is the probability that he misses both
shots?
3. Suppose 3 of the 12 bottles in a case of wine are bad. If two
bottles are randomly selected, what the probabilities of the
following
a.a Both are good
b. Both are bad
c. One is good and one is bad
4. The quality of computer disks is measured by sending the disks
through a certifier that counts the number of missing pulses. A
certain brand of computer disks has averaged 0.1 missing pulse
per disk. Find the probability that:
a. an inspected disk will have no missing pulse
b. an inspected disk will have more than one missing pulse
C. 1. A section of an electrical circuit
has two relays in parallel, as
shown in the figure at right.
The
relays
operate
independently, and when a
switch is thrown, each will
close properly with probability
0.8. If both relays are open,
find the probability that current
will flow from s to t when the
switch is thrown.
