Automobiles An experiment consists of selecting a car at random from a college parking lot and observing the color and make. Let E be the event “the car is red,” F be the event “the car is a Chevrolet,” G be the event “the car is a green Ford,” and H be the event “the car is black or a Chrysler.”
a. Which of the following pairs of events are mutually exclusive?
(i)E and F
(ii)E and G
(iii)F and G
(iv)E and H
(v)F and H
(vi)G and H
(vii)E′' and G
(viii)F′' and H′'
b. Describe each of the following events:
(i)
(ii)

(iv)F′'
(v)G′'
(vi)H′'
(vii)
(viii)

- Decide whether the following pairs of events are dependent or independent. C is the event that it rains more than 10 days in Chicago next June, and D is the event that it rains more than 15 days.arrow_forwarda What is meant by the conditional probability of E given F? How is this probability calculated? b What are independent events? c If E and F are independent events, what is the probability of E and F occurring? What if E and F are not independent? d A jar contains 3 white and 7 black balls. Let E be the event the first ball drawn is black and let F be the event the second ball drawn is black. i Find P(EF) if the balls are drawn with replacement. ii Find P(EF) if the balls are drawn without replacement.arrow_forwardSpinner A and B shown in the figure are spun at the same time. (a) Are the events "spinner A stops on red” and “spinner B stops on yellow” independent? (b) Find the probability that spinner A stop on red and spinner B stops on yellow.arrow_forward
