Try to solve all the questions below:

1. (Mendenhall p.130) A sample space S consists of five simple events with these
probabilities:
𝑃(𝐸1 ) = 𝑃(𝐸2 ) = 0.15
𝑃(𝐸3 ) = 0.4
𝑃(𝐸4 ) = 2𝑃(𝐸5 )
a) Find the probabilities for simple events 𝐸4 and 𝐸5 ?
b) Find the probabilities for these two events:
𝐴 = {𝐸1 , 𝐸3 , 𝐸4 }
𝐵 = {𝐸2 , 𝐸3 }
c) List the simple events that are either in event A or event B or both.
d) List the simple events that are in both event A and event B.
2. (Mendenhall p.137) Evaluate the following permutations and combinations: . (HINT:
Your scientific calculator may have a function that allows you to calculate permutations
and combinations quite easily.)
𝑃35 𝑃910 𝐶35 𝐶910
3. (Mendenhall p.138) In how many ways can you select five people from a group of
eight if the order of selection is important?. And how many ways can you select five
people from a group of eight if the order of selection is not important?
4. (Mendenhall p.138) Five cards are selected from a 52-card deck for a poker hand.
a) How many simple events are in the sample space?.
b) A royal flush is a hand that contains the A, K, Q, J, and 10, all in the same suit. How
many ways are there to get a royal flush?
c) What is the probability of being dealt a royal flush?
5. (Mendenhall p.149) An experiment can result in one of five equally likely simple
events, 𝐸1 , 𝐸2 , . . . , 𝐸5 . Events A, B, and C are defined as follows:
𝐴: 𝐸1 , 𝐸3 𝑃(𝐴) = 0.4
𝐵: 𝐸1 , 𝐸2 , 𝐸4 , 𝐸5 𝑃(𝐵) = 0.8
𝐶: 𝐸3 , 𝐸4 𝑃(𝐶) = 0.4
Find the probabilities associated with the following events by listing the simple events
in each.
a) 𝐴𝑐 b) 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 c) 𝐵 ∩ 𝐶
d) 𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 e) 𝐵|𝐶 f) 𝐴|𝐵
𝑐
g) 𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 ∪ 𝐶 h) (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵)
6. (Mendenhall p.152) During the inaugural season of Major League Soccer in the United
States, the medical teams documented 256 injuries that caused a loss of participation
time to the player. The results of this investigation, reported in The American Journal
of Sports Medicine, are shown in the table.

If one individual is drawn at random from this group of 256 soccer players, find the
following probabilities:
a) 𝑃(𝐴) b) 𝑃(𝐺) c) 𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐺)
d) 𝑃(𝐺|𝐴) e) 𝑃(𝐺|𝐵) f) 𝑃(𝐺|𝐶)
𝑐)
g) 𝑃(𝐶|𝑃) h) 𝑃(𝐵
7. (Mendenhall p.156) City crime records show that 20% of all crimes are violent and
80% are nonviolent, involving theft, forgery, and so on. Ninety percent of violent
crimes are reported versus 70% of nonviolent crimes.
a) What is the overall reporting rate for crimes in the city?.
b) If a crime in progress is reported to the police, what is the probability that the crime
is violent? What is the probability that it is nonviolent?
