Concept explainers
Draw one card at random from a standard deck of cards. The sample space S is the collection of the 52 cards. Assume that the
A = {x: x is a jack, queen. or king}.
B = {x:x is a 9.10 or jack and x is red}.
C = {x:x is a club},
D = {x: x is a diamond, a heart, or a spade}.

- Assume that a survey of 282 people is taken to determine the opinions of doctors, teachers, and lawyers on a proposed piece of legislation, with the results as shown in the table. A person is chosen at random from those surveyed. Refer to the table to find each probability.

- Three CDs are picked at random from a collection of 12 of which four are defective. Find the probability of the following. aAll three CDs are defective. bAll three CDs are functional probability.arrow_forwardA random number generator selects two integers from 1 to 30. What is the probability that both numbers are less than 12?arrow_forwardLet E and F be events in a sample space S. aThe probability of E or F occurring is P(EF)= _________. bIf the events E and F have no outcome in common that is, the intersection of E and F is empty, then the events are called ___________ ____________. So in drawing a card from a deck, the event E, getting a heart, and the event F, getting a spade, are ____________ ___________. cIf E and F are mutually exclusive, then the probability of E or F is P(EF)= _________.arrow_forward
