3)The probability that a customer at your coffee shop will order decaf coffee is 0.40 and each customer's order is independent of every other customer's order.

4)During the past five years the probability that a California consumer has bought a burrito (event B) is 0.60 and the probability that a California consumer has bought a Honda (event H) is 0.20.

The probability that a California consumer has bought both a burrito and a Honda in the past five years is 0.12.

Are the purchases of burritos and Hondas in the past five years among California consumers independent events?

5) Continuing on with the previous question:

The reason your answer to the previous question is correct is:

  

P ( B ) − P ( H ) > P ( B ∪ H )

  

P ( H ∣ B ) = P ( H )

  

P ( B ∪ H ) = P ( B ) + P ( H ) − P ( B ∩ H )

  

P ( B ∣ H ) ≠ P ( B )

  

P ( H ) ⋅ P ( B ) ≠ P ( H ∩ B )

6) You are the sales manager for a large high-end clothing store. You have a total of 100 salespeople at the store, and 40 of them sold $1000 or less yesterday while the rest sold over $1000.  

Among the salespeople who sold $1000 or less, there is a probability of 0.30 that the salesperson is new on the job (less than one year of experience).

Among the salespeople who sold over $1000 there is a probability of 0.10 that the salesperson is new on the job (less than one year of experience).

Given that a salesperson is new on the job, what is the probability that the salesperson sold over $1000 yesterday?

7)The standard version of the game of poker is played with a deck of 52 different playing cards and a poker player is given 5 cards at random without replacement as a poker hand.

The order in which the cards are chosen does not matter.

Assume you are playing poker using a deck of cards that includes two Jokers, so that there actually 54 different playing cards. You are still given 5 cards at random without replacement. One Joker is Red and the other is Black, so they count as two unique cards.

How many different poker hands are possible using this deck that includes the two Jokers?
