9.03 BASIC PRINCIPLES OF PROBABILITY

SITUATION. An experiment consists of observing the sum of the dice

when two fair dice are thrown.
28. Find the probability that the sum is 7;
29. Find the probability of getting a total of 7 or 11.
30. Find the probability that the sum is greater than 8;

SITUATION. A card is drawn at random from an ordinary deck of 52

playing cards. Find the probability that it is
31. a six of clubs or a nine of diamonds?
32. a ten or a spade?

SITUATION. One bag contains 4 white balls and 2 black balls; another
contains 3 white balls and 5 black balls. If one ball is drawn from each
bag, find the probability that
33. both are white,
34. one is white and one is black.

35. Juncel, Paul, and Jay are to fight a three-cornered pistol duel. All
know that Juncel’s chance of hitting his target is 0.3, Jay’s is 0.5,
and Paul never misses. They are to fire at their choice of target in
succession in the order Juncel, Paul, Jay, cyclically (but a hit man
loses further turns and is no longer shot at) until only one man is
left unhit. What should Juncel’s first move be for him to have a
better chance of winning?
A. Target Paul
B. Deliberately miss
C. Target Jay
D. Fire at himself

9.04 CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY

36. An experiment consists of observing the sum of the dice when two
fair dice are thrown. If the two fair-dice are thrown behind you, and
then you are informed that the sum is not greater than 3, find the
probability of the event that two faces are the same.

SITUATION - In a certain town, 40% of the people have brown hair,

26% have brown eyes, and 16% have both brown hair and brown eyes.
A person is selected at random from the town.
37. If she has brown hair, what is the probability that she also has
brown eyes?
38. If she has brown eyes, what is the probability that she does not
have brown hair?

SITUATION. John Bogart says that he has a 55% chance of going to

the class picnic if it does not rain but only a 30% chance of going if it
does rain. The weatherman says there is a 40% chance of rain for the
day of the picnic.
39. What is the probability that John will go to the picnic?
40. Given that John went to the picnic, what is the probability that it
rained on the day of the picnic?

41. A truth serum given to a suspect is known to be 90% reliable when

the person is guilty and 99% reliable when the person is innocent.
In other words, 10% of the guilty are judged innocent by the serum
and 1% of the innocent are judged guilty. If the suspect was
selected from a group of suspects of which only 5% have ever
committed a crime, and the serum indicates that he is guilty, what
is the probability that he is innocent?

42. You toss a fair coin three times. Given that you have observed at
least one head, what is the probability that you observe at least two
heads?
