CHAPTER 2 - Probability
SHORT ANSWER
1. Suppose that vehicles taking a particular freeway exit can turn right (R), turn left (L), or go straight (S). Consider
observing the direction for each of three successive vehicles.
a. List all outcomes in the event A that all three vehicles go in the same direction.
b. List all outcomes in the event B that all three vehicles take different directions.
c. List all outcomes in the event C that exactly two of the three vehicles turn right.
d. List all outcomes in the even D that exactly tow vehicles go in the same direction.
e. List outcomes in , C D, and C D.
ANS:
a. Event A = {RRR, LLL, SSS}
b. Event B = {RLS, RSL, LRS, LSR, SRL, SLR}
c. Event C = {RRL, RRS, RLR, RSE, LRR, SRR}
d. Event D = {RRL, RRS, RLR, RSE, LRR, SRR, LLR, LLS, LRL, LSL, RLL, SLL, SSR, SSL, SRS, SLS,
RSS,
LSS}
e. Event contains outcomes where all cars go the same direction, or they all go different directions:
= {RRR, LLL, SSS, RLS, RSL, LRS, LSR, SRL, SLR}
Because Event D totally encloses Event C, the compound event C D = D. Therefore, C D = {RRL,
RRS, RLR, RSR, LRR, SRR, LLR, LLS, LRL, LSL, RLL, SLL, SSR, SSL, SRS, SLS, RSS, LSS}
Using similar reasoning, we see that the compound event C D = C. Therefore, C D = {RRL, RRS,
RLR, RSR, LRR, SRR}

3. A college library has five copies of a certain text on reserve. Two copies (1 and 2) are first printings, and the
other three (3, 4, and 5) are second printings. A student examines these books in random order, stopping only
when a second printing has been selected. One possible outcome is 4, and another is 125.
a. List the S.
b. Let A denote the event that exactly one book must be examined. What outcomes are in A?
c. Let B be the event that book 4 is the one selected. What outcomes are in B?
d. Let C be the event that book 2 is not examined. What outcomes are in C?
ANS:

4. The Department of Statistics at a state university in California has just completed voting by secret ballot for a
department head. The ballot box contains four slips with votes for candidate A and three slips with votes for
candidate B. Suppose these slips are removed from the box one by one.
ANS:
a. S = {BBBAAAA, BBABAAA, BBAABAA, BBAAABA, BBAAAAB, BABBAAA,
BABABAA, BABAABA, BABAAAB, BAABBAA, BAABABA, BAABAAB, BAAABBA,

5. Let A denote the event that the next item checked out at a college library is a math book, and let B be the event
that the next item checked out is a history book. Suppose that P(A) = .40 and P(B) = .50.
ANS:
a. The probabilities do not add to 1 because there are other items besides math and history books to
be checked out from the library.
b. P( ) = 1 – P(A) = 1 - .40 = .60
c. P(A B) = P(A) + P(B) = .40 + .50 = .90 (since A and B are mutually exclusive events)
d. P( ) = P[ ] (De Morgan’s law) = 1 – P(A B) = 1 - .90 = .10

6. A large company offers its employees two different health insurance plans and two different dental insurance
plans. Plan 1 of each type is relatively inexpensive, but restricts the choice of providers, whereas plan 2 is more
expensive but more flexible. The accompanying table gives the percentages of employees who have chosen the
various plans:
Dental Plan
Health Plan 1 2
1 27% 14%
2 24% 35%
Suppose that an employee is randomly selected and both the health plan and dental plan chosen by the selected
employee are determined.
ANS:
Let H1 and H2 represent the two health plans. Let D1 and D2 represent the two dental plans.
