Question 1:
a) 56
b) P(A)=1/56
c) P(A)’=1-P(A)=
=1-(1/56)
=55/56
d) For this case, as the number 1 and the number 2 must be included in the combination,
we have only 6 numbers left to choose 3 (remember that the tickets are 5 numbers and
we already have 1 and 2), but as of Those 6 there is an element that cannot be chosen
(remember that the numbers 3,4 and 5 cannot be together at the same time), then the
total number of combinations described under the initial conditions will be:

5!
𝐶5,3 =
(5 − 3)! 3!
5 ∗ 4 ∗ 3!
=
2! 3!
5∗4
= = 10
2∗1

Question 2:
4
a) 𝑃(𝐾𝑖𝑛𝑔) = 40
𝑃(𝐾𝑖𝑛𝑔) =0.10
b) X = { 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 }
c) EF = 8
d) RF = 0.50
e) RF ≈ 0
Question 3:
a) S={(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(1,7),(1,8),(1,9),(1,10),(2,1),(2,2),2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(
2,7),(2,8),(2,9),(2,10),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(3,7),(3,8),(3,9),(3,10),(4,1),(4,2),(4,
3),(4,4)(4,5),(4,6),(4,7),(4,8)(4,9),(4,10)}
S=40
b) P(each outcome) = 1/40
c) Sample space for A
SA={(1,2),(1,3)….,(1,10),(2,3)(2,4)..……,(2,10),(3,4,),(3,5)…..,(3,10), (4,5),(4,6)…..,(4,10)}

d) 𝑃(𝐴 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟) = 40
30
𝑃(𝐴 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟) = 1 −
40
10
=
40
e) Sample space for B
𝑆𝐵 = {(1,3), (2,6), (3,9)}

n(SB)=3
𝑛(𝑆𝐵)
𝑃(𝐵 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟) =
𝑛(𝑆)
3
𝑃(𝐵 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟) =
40

f) 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 = {(1,3), (2,6), (3,9)}

𝐴∩𝐵 =∅
Hence A and B are not mutually exclusive.
g) 𝑃(𝐴 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑠) = 𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵)
𝑃 = {(1,3), (2,6), (3,9)}
3
𝑃=
40
h) We see 𝐴 ⊐ 𝐵
If B occurs than obviously A will occur
𝑃(𝐴 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑠) = 0
i) We see sample space for 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵′
𝑆𝐴∩𝐵′ = {(1,2), (1,4), (1,5) … , (1,10), (2,3), (2,5), (2,7) … , (2,10), (3,4) … … . (3,8), (3,10)}
𝑛(𝑆𝐴∩𝐵′ ) = 27
27
𝑃(𝐴 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑠) =
40
