A survey of 500 people, 190 of which were men, was made to see how many of them work or do not
work. It found that 130 people do not work, and that 45 of those were men.

25) Complete the table below

Male Female Total

Work
Does not work
Total
Use the table in #25 to determine

26) P(a male worker)

27) P(female given that they do not work)

28) Two people are selected at random. Find the probability that both of them are a male and they
work.

of the students take Economics, and 21 of them take both.

35) P(take neither class)

36) P(take one or the other of the classes)

On a given day there is a 60% chance that Danny eats breakfast, and there is 40% chance that Suzy eats
breakfast. There is a 10% chance that neither one of them eats breakfast.

38) Draw a Venn diagram to represent this.

39) P(Suzy ate breakfast given that Danny ate breakfast)

40) P(Danny eating breakfast given the Suzy did not eat)

The top drawer contains 3 pairs of green socks and 2 pairs of pink socks. The bottom drawer contains 4
pairs of green socks and 1 pair of pink socks. Jimmy is twice as likely to pick from the bottom drawer
than the top.

41) P(Jimmy picks a pink pair of socks)

42) P(Jimmy picks a green pair of socks given it is from the top drawer)

If the P(X) = .4 and P(Y) = .65 and X and Y are independent events.

43) P(X Y)

44) P(X Y)

45) P(neither X or Y)

46) P(X given that Y occurs)

47) P(X but not Y)

48) If the following is a probablitiy distribution find K.

X 1 2 3 4 5

P(X = x) .15 .26 2k .23 .16

49) find k in the probility distribution function P(X) = k(2x 1) if x = 1, 2, 3, 4

50) If Johnny throws a strike 80% of the time, then find the mean and standard deviation if X is throwing
a strike while throwing 12 piches.

You have a 5 sided spinner labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. However, the spaces are not equally sized. The
probability of getting a 1 is 1/2 , a 2 is 1/8, a 3 is 1/16, a 4 is 1/8, and a 5 is 1/16. When you spin the
spinner you will get $1 for a 1, $2 for a 2, $5 for a 3, $9 for a 4, and $13 for a 5.
51) What is the expect return?

52) If you pay $3 to spin the spinner, is this a fair game? Explain!!

53) Would recommend to someone to play this game? Explain!!

600 people ran a short race with a mean time of 84 minutes and a standard deviation of 4.2 minutes.

54) Using the 68.26%, 95.44%, and 99.74% rule, draw a normal distribution graph inserting all percents
and labelling 3 standard deviations to the left and the right of the mean.

55) What percentage of runners finished between 79.8 and 92.4 minutes?

56) What percentage of runners finished higher than 88.2 minutes?

57) How many runners were below 75.6 minutes?

Jimmy has a 30% chance of getting a hit when he comes to bat in baseball. In a double header, he got to
bat 9 times.

58) Find the mean probability.

59) Find the standard deviation of the probability.

60) If X : N (56.4,5.22 ) , find P ( X 58) to 3 decimal places. [Remember X : N ( Mean, Variance)

ignore the squared as we need the standard deviation. This is a NORMAL distribution.]
61) If X : B (8, 0.64) , find P(X = 5). [Remember with this notation X : B ( Number of trials,
probability). This is a binomial distribution using notation.]

62) If X : B (8, 0.64) , find P( 4 X 7 ). [Remember with this notation X : B ( Number of trials,
probability). This is a binomial distribution using notation.]

63) Given X : N (34, 4 2 ) , find P (X < a) = .378 . [Remember X : N ( Mean, Variance) ignore the
squared as we need the standard deviation. This is a NORMAL distribution. To find a, you need to use
the INVNORM program.]

64) The length of metal poles produced by a company is normally distributed with a standard deviation
of 7 cm. 6.43% of the poles have a length of 76.57 cm or higher. Find the mean length of the poles to 3
decimal places. Draw a normal distribution curve illustrating your answer.
