Draw a probability tree diagram for the following experiment: Suppose there are five balls in an urn. Three are red and two are blue. We will select a ball, note the color, and, without replacing the first ball, select a second ball. What is the sample space of this

experiment? What is the associated probability distribution in this

experiment?

Expert Solution

Let R : event of selecting red ball

B : event of selecting blue ball

Sample Space : RB RR BB BR

Finding probabilities for each item in sample space

P(RB) = P(select first red ball x select second blue ball)

(2nd ball is without replacing the first ball, hence denominator is 4)

(Second fraction 2/4 is for the second red ball. as total red balls reduce from 3 to 2

before drawing the second ball)

Probability Distribution

Sample Space	RB	RR	BB	BR
Probability	0.3	0.3	0.1	0.3

"Make a tree diagram to determine the theoretical probability for this experiment: Spin the arrows (not shown) on each of the following three spinners, and note the color where the arrow lands on each spinner. Spinner 1 is divided into two equal sectors, labeled “Red” and “Blue.” Spinner 2 is first divided into two equal sectors. The left is labeled “Green.” The right is then divided into two equal sectors, labeled “Red” and “Blue.” Spinner 3 is divided into three...

Use a probability tree to find the probabilities of the indicated outcomes. Three balls are drawn, without replacement, from a bag containing 7 red balls and 6 white balls. (Enter your probabilities as fractions.) (a) Find the probability that three white balls are drawn. (b) Find the probability that two white balls and one red ball are drawn. (c) Find the probability that the third ball drawn is red.

Solve the following using tree diagrams. Please draw the diagram! A six person committee composed of Abba, Bull, Char,Dave, Eric and Ford is to select officer positions of chairman, secretary and treasurer. How many selections are there in which either Ford is an officer and Char is a secretary, or Abba is not chairman and Char is not an officer?

An urn contains red and green colored balls. You draw a sample of five balls from the urn. (a) Suppose the urn contains 18 balls, half of which are red. What is the probability that the sample contains a red ball? (b) Suppose the urn contains 144 balls, half of which are red. What is the probability that the sample contains a red ball? (c) Suppose the urn contains 144 balls, 10 of which are red. What is the probability...

Draw an appropriate tree diagram, and use the multiplication principle to calculate the probabilities of all the outcomes. HINT [See Example 3.] Your auto rental company rents out 30 small cars, 22 luxury sedans, and 48 slightly damaged "budget" vehicles. The small cars break down 12% of the time, the luxury sedans break down 8% of the time, and the "budget" cars break down 40% of the time. P(Small and breaks down) = P(Small and does not break down) =...

4.) Determine whether the following probability experiment is a binomial experiment. If the probability experiment is not a binomial experiment, state why? a.) In a town with 400 citizens, 100 randomly selected citizens are asked to identify their religion. The number who identify with a Christian religion is recorded. b.) An experiment is conducted in which a single die is cast until a 3 comes up. The number of throws required is recorded.

Suppose we have a sack with 2 red balls and 2 black balls, and we draw balls without replacement until the second red ball is drawn. Describe the random variable ? = "the number of balls drawn". Describe by giving the range, probability distribution, expected value, standard deviation, and variance.

[Counting and Probability] Consider the experiment of flipping a coin four times. a. Using a tree, determine the probability of one or two tails, with a biased coin with P(H) = 2/3. Compare to the probability with an unbiased coin b. [Bayes’ Rule] Using the results of the part a suppose we have two coins, one unbiased, and a biased coin with P(H) = 2/3. We select a coin at random, flip it three times, and observe either one or...

Describe an experiment to determine if a resistor models ohms law. (i) Draw a diagram of the experimental setup. Label all the measured quantities and draw or state what equipment is used. (ii) Describe the overall procedure including any necessary steps to reduce experimental uncertainty. It should be thorough enough so that another lab student can follow the directions.
