a) P (A U B);
Let A = {0.3} and B = {0.5}. Then, A U B = {0.3, 0.5}
= P (A) + P (B) – P(A∩B)
c) P (A’ ∩ B)
Let A = {0.3} and B = {0.5}. Then, A’ ∩ B = Ø, that
is, A and B have no elements in common.
P (A’ ∩ B) = P (B) = 0.50
3 If A,B, and C are mutually exclusive events and P(A) = 0.2, P(B) a) P (A U B U C);
= 0.3 and P(C) = 0.2, find
ANSWER: 0.7
A. P(A U B U C);
FORMULA: P(A)+P(B)+P(C)
B. P[(A’ ∩ (B U C)]
SOLUTION: 0.2+0.3+0.2 = 0.70
C. P(B U C’)’
b) P [(A’ ∩ (B U C)]
ANSWER: 0.5
2
FORMULA: P(B)+P(C)
SOLUTION: 0.3+0.2 = 0.50
c) P (B U C’)’
ANSWER: P(C) = 0.20
4 If a letter is chosen at random from the English alphabet, find the A.) is a vowel exclusive of y
probability that the letter.
Let X = vowels in the English alphabet
A.)is a vowel exclusive of y
(A, E, I, O, U)
B.)precedes the letter j
P(X) = 5/26 or 0.19
C.)follows the letter g
B.) precedes the letter j
(A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I)
(H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z)

5 A.) begins with a consonant
If a permutation of the word “white” is selected at random, find the
probability that the permutation Letters in the word: (w, h, i, t, e)= 5! = 120 (will be our
A. begins with a consonant denominator)
3 * 24 = 72
n(X) = 4*3*2*1*2
= 48
P(X) = 48/120
2/5 or 0.40
n(X) = 3!2!
=12

P(X) = 12/120 or 1/10 = 0.1
7 A.) a total of 8
A pair of dice is tossed. Find the probability of getting
A. a total of 8 Let A = the event that the sum is 8

P(A) = 5/36 or 0.138888888888889
= 0.14
= 0.277777777777778 or 0.28

n(S) = 9C3
n(A) = (1C1)(8C2)
= 30
10 A.) 3 aces
In a poker hand consisting of 5 cards, find the probability of
holding 52/5 = 52!/5! (52-5)!
A. 3 aces
= 52*51*50*49*48*47/5*4*3*2*1
B. 4 hearts and 1 club
= 2598960 ways
= 2256/2
= 1128 ways

4*1128 = 4512 ways
4512/2598960 = 0.00174
715*13 = 9295
11 a. 2 pairs
In a game of Yahtzee , where 5 dice are tossed simultaneously,
find the probability of getting
There are 6 choose 3 = 20 ways of selecting
A. 2 pairs these values
B. 4 of a kind
3!
There are 2 = 3 arrangements
5!
= 30 ways
(1 ! x 2 ! x 2 !)

In a college graduating class of 100 students, 54 studied
mathematics, 69 studied history and 35 studied both
mathematics and history. If one of these students is selected at BOTH
a random, find the probability that MATHEMATICS HISTORY
= 35
A. the students takes mathematics or history = 19 = 34
B. the student does not take either of these subjects
C. the student takes history but not mathematics

SOLUTION:
c. HISTORY ONLY: 69 – 35 = 34
= 34/100 or 17/50 or 0.34

The probability that an American industry will locate in Munich is A.) in both cities
0.7, the probability that it will locate in Brussels is 0.4, and the
10
P(MUB) = P(M) + P(B) – P(M∩B)
0.8 = 0.7 + 0.4 - P(M∩B)
probability that it will locate either Munich or Brussels or both is 3
0.8. what is the probability that the industry will locate P(M∩B) = 10 = 0.30
A. in both cities
a) in neither city
B. in neither city P(MUB)’ = 1 – 0.8
2
P(MUB)’ = 10 = 0.20

The total probability is 1.
The presumption is that the probabilities are:
0.03 that exactly 0 cars will get pumped.
0.18 that exactly 1 car will get pumped.
0.24 that exactly 2 cars will get pumped.
0.28 that exactly 3 cars will get pumped.
0.10 that exactly 4 cars will get pumped.
0.17 that exactly 5 or more cars will get pumped.
P( X ≥ 4) = P(X= 4) + P(X ≥ 5)
= 0.1 + 0.17
= 0.27 or 27%
