2) Basic Probability
Suppose a simple computer contains 16 memory sectors, 4 of which are read-only. We need to use 3 of the sectors.
A.) How many different samples are possible?
B.) Find the probability that none in the sample are read-only.
C.) Find the probability that exactly 2 registers in the sample are read-only.
D.) Find the probability that at least 1 sector is read-only
Solutions
Expert Solution
(a) The number of different possible sample may be given as the combination
(b) Since there are 4 read-only sectors, therefore the number of non read only sectors are (16-4)=12. Now the probability that all the 3 samples are selected from non read only sectors may be given by
that is there is 39.29% probability that there are no read only sectors selected in the sample.
(c) The required probability that there are exactly 2 read-only sectors are selected in the sample is given by
Hence there is 12.86% probability that there are exactly 2 read-only sectors are selected in the sample.
(d) If A represents the number of selected read only sector in the sample then the required probability may be represented as
Hence there is 25.36% probablity that there is at least 1 read-only sector is in the sample.

Suppose that every driver faces a 5% probability of an
automobile accident every year. An accident will, on average, cost
each driver $14,000. Suppose there are two types of individuals:
those with $84,000.00 in the bank and those with $3,500.00 in the
bank. Assume that individuals with $3,500.00 in the bank declare
bankruptcy if they get in an accident. In bankruptcy, creditors
receive only what individuals have in the bank. Assume that both
types of...

Suppose that a bag of scrabble tiles contains 5 Es, 4 As, 3 Ns
and 2 Bs. It is my turn and I draw 4 tiles from the bag without
replacement. Assume that my draw is uniformly random. Let C be the
event that I got two Es, one A and one N. (a) Compute P(C) by
imagining that the tiles are drawn one by one as an ordered sample.
(b) Compute P(C) by imagining that the tiles are drawn...

answer of a question, then you will answer it correctly for sure;
if you do not know the answer, however, you can still guess the
answer (meaning that you will have 25% chance of getting the
correct answer). Finally, assume that your answer to each question
