Question 5. A college library has five copies of a certain text on reserve. Two copies (1 and 2) are first printings, and the other three (3, 4, and 5) are second printings. A student examines these 5 books in random order (without replacement), stopping only when a second printing has been selected. For example, one outcome is the student only looks at copy 4, another outcome is the student looks at the sequence of copies 2,1,5.

a) Use a tree diagram and then set notation to list all outcomes in the sample space (S) b) Determine the probability of each simple event in the sample space.
Define the following events:
Let A be the event that exactly one book is examined.

Let B be the event that book 4 is selected.
Let C be the event that book 2 is examined.

c) List the outcomes in A and determine its probability.

d) List the outcomes in B and determine its probability.

e) List the outcomes in C and determine its probability.

f) Among events A, B, and C, which are disjoint?

QUESTION 13 Questions 13-15 The information of the numbers of copies of a college textbook sold quarterly over the past four years was used. Since the time series has trend and seasonal pattern, to forecast the quarterly sales of the textbook, the following regression equation was found: Y't = 2100 - 640Qtr1-1250Qtr2 + 312Qtr3 + 27t , where Qtr1t, Qtr2t, and Qtr3t are dummy variables corresponding to Quarters 1, 2 and 3, and t = time period. Q13. The sales forecast...
