9 - 2/3 = 66.67% a) 1/3 = 33.33% b) 1 = 100% c) 2/3 = 66.67

10. A) P (two aces with replacement ) = 4/52 x 4/52 = 1/169 = 0.00592 = 5.92%
- Two events are independent
B) P (two aces without replacement）=4/52 x 3/51 = 1/221 = 4.52%
- Two events are dependent.

11. A. No, events A and B are not mutually exclusive because the number 2 appears at the
two events at the same time. P(A and B) = 1/8
b. Yes, the events A and B are independent events because outcomes in event A does not
affect outcomes in event B .
16. I. P( never smoked ) = 121529 / 137243 = 0.8855 = 88.55%
Ii. P(former smoked cigar and died ) = 91/137243
Iii. P(current smoker and didn’t die from cancer) = 7725/7866 = 0.982 = 98.2%
18) P( worker who meets production quota) = 0.6 x 0.82 + 0.4 x
0.53 = 0.704
b. P (worker who meets production quota/ attended training program) = 0.82

Iii. P (X<3) = 0.12 + 0.16 + 0.22 = 0.5 iv. P (3</= X >/=5) = 0.5 - 0.06 = 0.44
C) Mean = E(X) =

A) P(X=3) = 0.1804 b) 1- P (X=0) - P(X=1) = 1- 0.0067 - 0.0337 = 0.9596

A) EVERY HALF AN HOUR indicates Poisson distribution (number of times an event occur in a given
time interval) , floor= 4.8 , X=2
