CHAPTER 3
…………………………………………………………..
Probability
3.2 a. The sample space will include the following simple events:
b. The probabilities for the simple events are shown in the table below:
c. Since four of the six beach hotspots have either a planar or single shore parallel-
nearshore bar condition, we say that the probability is 4/6 = 0.6667.
e. The probabilities for the simple events are shown in the table below:
f. Since four of the six beach hotspots observed have a beach condition that is not flat, we
say that the probability is 4/6 = 0.6667.
3.4 a. 27 of the 83 industrial accidents were caused by faulty engineering and design. We say
that the probability of faulty engineering and design causing an industrial accident is
27/83 = 0.3253. About one-third of all industrial accidents are caused by faulty
engineering and design.
b. 59 of the 83 industrial accidents were caused by something other than faulty practices
and procedures. We say that the probability of this is 59/83 = 0.7108. About 71% of all
industrial accidents are caused by something other than faulty practices and procedures.
3.6 a. Let A = {chicken passes inspection with fecal contamination}. P(A) = 1 / 100 = .01.
Probability 33
b. From the sample, the number of times each of these sample points occurred was
different. We would expect the probability of each sample point to the close to the
relative frequency of that outcome.
3.10 a. There are 9 possible outcomes for this experiment. The outcomes are:
(40,300)(40,350)(40,400)
(45,300)(45,350)(45,400)
(50,300)(50,350)(50,400)
b, The different outcomes for this experiment that are listed above are probably not
equally likely to yield the highest electrical resistivity. There are many different factors
that affect the electrical resistivity.

3.14 A summary for the MTBE data set is shown below:
MTBE Level
Aquifer Below level Detectable level Total
Bedrock 138 63 201
Unconsolidated 15 7 22
Total 153 70 223
a. P(first digit > 5) = P(6) + P(7) + P(8) + P(9) = .1575 + .1198 + .0834 + .0579 = 0.4186
c. P(first digit is even) = P(2) + P(4) + P(6) + P(8) = .1009 + .1332 + .1575 +.0834
= 0.4750
3.18 a. The simple events in A ∪ B are the numbers that are odd or black or both and are:
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27,
