2. Calculate the probabilities that
a. the battery life is between 7.5 and 8 hours; and
b. the battery life is less than 8 hours.
Are these two probabilities different? Explain why or why not.
3. Suppose that you randomly picked 100 iPhones and calculated the average battery life for
these phones. Provide your best guess of the value of the average.
5.100 Tossing a die. You are tossing a balanced die that has probability 1/6 of coming up 1 on each toss. Tosses are
independent. We are interested in how long we must wait to get the first 1.
(a) The probability of a 1 on the first toss is 1/6. What is the probability that the first toss is not a 1 and the second toss is a 1?
(b) What is the probability that the first two tosses are not 1s and the third toss is a 1? This is the probability that the first 1
occurs on the third toss.
4
(c) Now you see the pattern. What is the probability that the first 1 occurs on the fourth toss? On the fifth toss?
