Question
  1. Assume that for events A and B we have the following: 

P(A) = .40, P(B|A) = .20, and P(B) = .30.  

Find P(A or B).

 

 

 

  1.   Using only the rules of probability that we have learned so far, directly calculate the probabilities for each of the five possibilities that we saw in Problem 2.  That is, do not simulate these, but directly calculate and show all of your work.  

 

  • P(You first card turned over is “5”)         – you win $100 
  • P(Your second card turned over is “5”)   – you win $50
  • P(Your third card turned over is “5”)       – you win $20
  • P(Your fourth card turned over is “5”)     – you win $10
  • P(Your fifth card turned over is “5”)        – you win $5
