1.

a. P(H,H,H) = 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.125

b. P(2 heads) = 0.125 x 3 = 0.375

c. P(at least one head0 = P(No tails)
= 1 − P(T, T, T) = 0.875

d. P(2 tails, H) = 0.25


2.

P(fault in first year)

= 0.5 x 0.3 + 0.15 x 0.15 + 0.35 x 0.1

= 0.15 + 0.0225 + 0.035

= 0.2075


3.

P(only 2 marbles are blue)

= P(b, b, r) + P(b, r, b) + P(r, b, b)


4.

P(only 2 marbles are blue)

= P(b, b, r) + P(b, r, b) + P(r, b, b)


5. a.

b. P(b, r) = 0.2

c. P(no blues) = 0.2

d. P(one red only) = 8/15

e. P(at least one red) = 0.6

 


6. a.

b. P(wins $8) = 1 / 72
