- Find the probability that none of the dice will show a 1. (Enter your probability as a fraction.)arrow_forwardQ9. The electrical apparatus in the diagram works so long as current can flow from left to right. The three components are independent. The probability that component A works is 0.7; the probability that component B works is 0.8; and the probability that component C works is 0.65. Find the probability that the apparatus works.arrow_forwardA soccer player made 67% of her goal attempts last season. The coach wants to estimate the number of goals the player will make out of 10 attempts in a game and decides to run a simulation. Which of the following could be a representation of the events for the simulation? Assign the numbers 00–67 to represent a made goal and the numbers 68–99 to represent a missed goal. Assign the numbers 1–67 to represent a made goal and the numbers 68–100 to represent a missed goal. Assign the numbers 1–7 to represent a made goal and the numbers 8–10 to represent a missed goal. Assign the numbers 0–6 to represent a made goal and the numbers 7–9 to represent a missed goal.arrow_forward
- EXERCISE 0.3. Roll three dice. Let A = 'the numbers on the first and second add to 7', B = 'the numbers on the second and third add to 7', and C = 'the numbers on the third and first add to 7'. Are A, B, C pairwise independent? Are they mutually independent? %3Darrow_forwardIn CE Board examinations there are 3 subjects (Mathematics, Surveying and Transportation Engineering , Hydraulics and Geotechnical Engineering, and Structural Engineering and Construction), the probability that an examinee will pass in each subject is 0.8. What is the probability that the examinee will pass at least two subjects? a.0.128 b.0.640 c.0.384 d.0.896arrow_forwardThe probability of event A happening is 3/5 and the probability of event B happening is 2/3. What is the probability of either A, or B, or A and B happening?arrow_forward
- Danielle has been watching Car Pass for the last hour and has been Counting how many cars of each color She sees. She has Seen 48 White Cars, 37 black Cars 15 Silver Cars and 22 Red cars what is the probability that the next Car She Sees will be white? A 0.150 B 0.393 CO.250 D0,123arrow_forwardProbability. Don't understand.arrow_forwardConsider the variable Joe’s weight next Friday. What is the probability he weighs 170 pounds, the same weight he told you for last Friday?arrow_forward
- According to a recent survey the probability that the driver in a fatal accident is female (event F) is 0.2484. The probability that the driver 24 years old or less (event A) is 0.1841. The probability that the driver is female and is 24 years old or less is 0.0593. Answer parts a through D below.arrow_forward1. Probabilityarrow_forwardRoll a pair of fair six-sided dice and let X be 1 if the dice land showing the same number of spots, and 0 otherwise. For example, if both dice land 2, then X = 1, but if one lands 2 and the other lands 3, then X = 0. What is P(X = 1)? Explain your reasoning below.arrow_forward
