A statistician is betting in a game of Counting Rates and Probability. The game uses cards, but 1/3 of the cards are red, and 2/3 of the cards are black. If the statistician gets a red card his face will blush 30% of the time. If the statistician gets a black card his face will blush 60% of the time. Assuming you see the statisticians face blushing, what is the probability he just drew a black card?

Expert Solution

P(red cards) = 1/3

P(black cards) = 2/3

P(face will blush | red card) = 0.3

P(face will blush | black card) = 0.6

P(face will blush) = P(face will blush | red card) * P(red card) + P(face will blush | black card) * P(black card)

= 0.3 * 1/3 + 0.6 * 2/3

= 0.5

P(black card | face blushing) = P(face will blush | black card) * P(black card) / P(face will blush)

= (0.6 * 2/3) / 0.5

= 0.8 (ans)

Magic the Gathering is a popular card game. Cards can be land cards, or other cards. We consider a game with two players. Each player has a deck of 40 cards. Each player shuffles their deck, then deals seven cards, called their hand. (a) Assume that player one has 10 land cards in their deck and player two has 20. With what probability will each player have four lands in their hand? (b) Assume that player one has 10 land...

In this game, you will play in pairs with a single deck of cards (face cards removed). Aces count as ones and all numbered cards count at face value. Players take turns flipping over two cards and finding the product. Regardless of who flipped the cards, Player 1 always gets one point if the product is even, and Player 2 always gets one point if the product is odd. Continue playing until one player reaches 20 points. Would you rather...

In sports betting, sports books establish winning margins for a team that is favored to win a game. An individual can place a wager on the game and will win if the team bet upon wins after accounting for this spread. For example, if Team A is favored by 5 points, and wins the game by 7 points, then a bet on Team A is a winning bet. However, if Team A wins the game by only 3 points, then...

A Betting Game You roll a die. If an odd number comes up, you lose. If you get a 6, you win $60. If it is an even number other than 6, you get to roll again. If you get a 6 the second time, you win $36. If not, you lose. (a) Construct a probability model for the amount you win at this game. Explain briefly how you obtain the probabilities associated with the different amounts of winning. (b)...

During the FPL season, casinos odds makers establiish a point spread on each game for betting purposes. For example, the Bay Parkers were established as 3.5-point favorites over the eventual champion Texas Cowboys in the 2013 Super Bowl. The final scores of FPL games were compared against the final point spreads established by the odds makers in Chance (Fall 1998). The difference between the game outcome and point spread (called a point-spread error) was calculated for 240 FPL games. The...
