Exersicse Important Ch2

The document presents a series of probability exercises involving cancer and smoking habits, as well as events A and B defined on the same sample space. It includes calculations for various probabilities such as the likelihood of being a smoker with cancer, independence of events, and probabilities related to defective items produced by different machines. The exercises require the application of probability rules and concepts to solve for specific scenarios.

Exercise

1. The following table classifies 400 persons according to their habits whether or not they
have cancer:
Smoker(A) Non-Smoker ( Ā )
Has cancer (C) 200 50
Does not have cancer (C̄ ) 50 100

If individual is selected at random from this group, find the probability that he/she is :
1. A smoker and has cancer
2. A smoker or has cancer
3. A non-smoker or has cancer
4. Has cancer given that he/she is a smoker
5. not a smoker given that he/she does not have cancer
6. determine whether smoking and having cancer are independent
2. A and B are events defined on same sample space:

3. A and B are events defined on same sample space:


If P( A∩ B̄)=0. 3, P( A∩B )=0 .2 , and P( Ā∩ B̄ )=0 .1 ;
Find : P( A ); P( Ā∩B); P( A∩ B̄), P( A∪B )
4. Let A and B denote two events defined on the same sample space:

If P(A)=0.6, P(B)=0.4 and P( A∪B)=0. 74 , then determine whether A and B are


independent.
5. If A and B are independent and P(A)=0.3 and P(B)=0.1,

Find P( A∪B ) ii )P ( A∩ B̄ )
1
P( A∩B̄ )=
6. If A and B are independent and 4 and P(A)=1/3. Find p(B)
7. If P(A)=0.5,P(B)=0.6 and P( A∪B )=0 . 80 ,determine whether A and B are independent.
8. Three machines A, B and C produce 40%, 45% and 15% of the total items of a factory.
The percentage defective outputs of these machines are 5%, 3% and 2%. If an item is
selected at random:
 Find the probability that the item is defective.
 Find the probability that the item is good.
 Given that the item is found defective, find the probability that the item was
produced by machine A.
