In a soon to be released Halloween martial arts movie, a pumpkin has a starring role. Because of the rather violent nature of the film, the producers have also hired a stunt pumpkin.  Suppose the featured pumpkin appears in 40% of all the film scenes, the stunt pumpkin appears in 30% of the film scenes and the two appear simultaneously in 5% of the scenes. Draw the Venn diagram to reflect information given in the problem. Are the events the stunt pumpkin appearing in a scene and the featured pumpkin appearing in a scene mutually exclusive (disjoint)? Explain how you know. Are the events the stunt pumpkin appearing in a scene and the featured pumpkin appearing in a scene independent? Explain how you know.

Question
  1. In a soon to be released Halloween martial arts movie, a pumpkin has a starring role. Because of the rather violent nature of the film, the producers have also hired a stunt pumpkin.  Suppose the featured pumpkin appears in 40% of all the film scenes, the stunt pumpkin appears in 30% of the film scenes and the two appear simultaneously in 5% of the scenes.
  • Draw the Venn diagram to reflect information given in the problem.
  • Are the events the stunt pumpkin appearing in a scene and the featured pumpkin appearing in a scene mutually exclusive (disjoint)? Explain how you know.
  • Are the events the stunt pumpkin appearing in a scene and the featured pumpkin appearing in a scene independent? Explain how you know.
  • What is the probability that in a given scene that only the stunt pumpkin appears?

 

  1. You have three events A, B, & C. Suppose:
  • Event A is the event of drawing a king from a deck of 52 cards on the first draw.
  • Event B is the probability of drawing a queen of hearts on the second draw, if the first card was replaced into the deck of cards.
  • Event C is the event of drawing a queen of hearts on the first draw.

 

  1. What is P (A), P (B), & P(C)?
  2. What is the probability of Event A AND Event C?
  3. What is the probability of Event A AND Event B?
  4. What is the probability of Event C OR Event B?
