A spinner has three equally sized regions: blue, red, and green. Jonny spins the spinner 3times and gets 3blues in a row. If he spins the spinner 297more times, how many more blues is he most likely to get?

a.97b.99c.100d.101e.103

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is :

b. 99 more blues is he most likely to get.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have to tell how many more blues is he most likely to get.

02

Explanation

We know that

  • When the spinner is spun three times then three blues in a row are obtained.
  • When the spinner is spun 297more times than we can obtain the blue, red, and green region of the spinner.
  • Now, we can get ninety-nine more blue sides if we spun the spinner

Therefore,

The correct option is (b) i.e.99

Suppose that a student is randomly selected from a large high school. The probability

that the student is a senior is 0.22. The probability that the student has a driverโ€™s license

is 0.30. If the probability that the student is a senior or has a driverโ€™s license is 0.36,

what is the probability that the student is a senior and has a driverโ€™s license?

Reading the paper In a large business hotel, 40% of guests read the Los Angeles Times. Only 25% read the Wall Street Journal. Five percent of guests read both papers. Suppose we select a hotel guest at random and record which of the two papers the person reads, if either. Whatโ€™s the probability that the person reads the Los Angeles Times or the Wall Street Journal?

a. Make a Venn diagram to display the outcomes of this chance process using events L:reads the Los Angeles Times and W: reads the Wall Street Journal.

b. Find PLCโˆฉW.

Preparing for the GMAT A company that offers courses to prepare students for the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) has collected the following information about its customers: 20%are undergraduate students in business, 15%are undergraduate students in other fields of study, and 60%are college graduates who are currently employed. Choose a customer at random.

a. What must be the probability that the customer is a college graduate who is not currently employed? Why?

b. Find the probability that the customer is currently an undergraduate. Which probability rule did you use to find the answer?

c. Find the probability that the customer is not an undergraduate business student. Which probability rule did you use to find the answer?

Roulette An American roulette wheel has 38 slots with numbers 1through36,0,and 00, as shown in the figure. Of the numbered slots, 18are red, 18are black, and 2โ€”the 0and 00โ€”are green. When the wheel is spun, a metal ball is dropped onto the middle of the wheel. If the wheel is balanced, the ball is equally likely to settle in any of the numbered slots. Imagine spinning a fair wheel once. Define events B: ball lands in a black slot, and E: ball lands in an even-numbered slot. (Treat0and 00as even numbers.)

a. Make a two-way table that displays the sample space in terms of events Band E.

b. Find P(B)andP(E).

c. Describe the event โ€œBand Eโ€ in words. Then find the probability of this event.

d. Explain why P(BorE)โ‰ P(B)+P(E). Then use the general addition rule to compute P(BorE).

Dogs and cats In one large city, 40% of all households own a dog, 32% own a cat, and 18% own both. Suppose we randomly select a household.

a. Make a Venn diagram to display the outcomes of this chance process using events D: owns a dog, and C: owns a cat.

b. Find P(DโˆฉCC).
