Interpret each of the following probability statements, using the frequentist interpretation of probability.
(a) The probability of being dealt a pocket pair in Texas hold'em is 0.059.
(b). If a balanced dime is tossed three times, the probability that it will come up heads all three times is 0.125.
In each of Exercises 5.167-5.172, we have provided the number of trials and success probability for Bernoulli trials. LetX denote the total number of successes. Determine the required probabilities by using
(a) the binomial probability formula, Formula 5.4 on page 236. Round your probability answers to three decimal places.
(b) TableVII in AppendixA. Compare your answer here to that in part (a).
Constract a venn diagram representing the event.
Part. (a) (not E).
Part. (b) (A or B)
Find.
Explain what is wrong with the following argument: When two balanced dice are rolled, the sum of the dice can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12, giving 11 possibilities. Therefore the probability is that the sum is 12.
