An insurance company has the following information about drivers between 16 and 18 years old. 20% are involved in accidents each year. 10% of all drivers in this age range are A students. Among those involved in an accident, 5% are A students. a. What is the probability that a randomly chosen student is an A student and is involved in an accident? b. What is the probability that a student gets in an accident, given that they are not an A student? 2. The chances that you will ticketed for illegal parking on campus are about 1/3. During the last nine days, you have illegally parked every day and have NOT been ticketed (you lucky person)! Today, on the 10th day, you again decide to park illegally. The chances that you will be caught are: (a) greater than 1/3 because you were not caught in the last nine days. (b) less than 1/3 because you were not caught in the last nine days. (c) still equal to 1/3 because the last nine days do not affect the probability. (d) equal to 1/10 because you were not caught in the last nine days. (e) equal to 9/10 because you were not caught in the last nine days. 3. Motor vehicles sold to individuals are classified as either cars or light trucks (including SUVs) and as either domestic or imported. In early 2004, 69% of vehicles sold were light trucks, 78% were domestic vehicles, and 55% were domestic light trucks. Let A be the event that a vehicle is a light truck and B the event that the vehicle is imported. What is the probability vehicle is an imported car? 4. An athlete suspected of using steroids is given 2 tests that operate independently of each other. Test A has probability 0.9 of being pos. if steroids have been used. Test B has probability 0.8 of being pos. if steroids have been used. What is probability that neither test is positive if steroids have been used? 5. Each of two boxes contains 20 marbles, and each marble is either black or white. The total number of black marbles is different from the total number of white marbles. One marble is drawn at random from each box. The probability that both marbles are white is .21. What is the probability that both are black? 6. You decide to save money by wearing your socks as mittens too. Three are yellow, three are red and seven are labeled "Sunday". All are mixed in your sock drawer, you’re embarrassed to wear your "Sunday" socks as mittens, and it's too dark to see without turning on a light and waking your dog. So you pull out socks at random. How many must you pull out to be sure you have a pair? 7. Dre made six of seventeen free throws. How many consecutive free throws must he make to raise his percentage to exactly 50 percent? The following two questions refer to the following situation. All human blood can be “ABO” typed as belonging to one of A, B, O, or AB types. The actual distribution varies slightly among different groups of people, but for a randomly chosen person from North America, the following are the approximate probabilities: Blood type O A B Probability .45 .40 .11 AB .04 8. Consider an accident victim with type B blood. She can only receive a transfusion from a person with type B or type O blood. What is the probability that a randomly chosen person will be suitable donor? (a) about .11 (b) about .04 (c) about .15 (d) about .45 (e) about .56 9. What is the probability that both people in a couple will have the SAME blood type if matings are random with respect to blood type, i.e. one partner’s blood type does not influence the blood type of the other partner. (a) about .21 (b) about .16 (c) about .002 (d) about .01 (e) about .38 10. In a certain math class the following weights are assigned to required activities as follows: class participation 12%, projects 27%, homework 11%, quizzes 12%, test one 19%, and test two 19%. Each activity is graded on a 100 point scale. A student received 91 points for participation, 51 points for projects, 60 points for homework; 79 points for quizzes, 47 points for test one and 89 points for test two. Compute her overall weighted average for the math class. 11. If P(A) = .45, and there are 200 equally likely outcomes in the sample space, how many outcomes are in A? 12. You roll two fair dice, a red one and a blue one. Find the following probabilities: Your answers should be fractions in lowest terms. a. P(both dice are greater than 4) b. P(4 on the blue and an odd number on the red) c. P(even number on the red and an odd number on the blue) d. P( number greater than 2 on the red and less than 5 on the blue) For problems 13-16, A whole number from 1-450 has been selected. Find the probability of each event. 13. The number is divisible by five. 14. The number is divisible by three. 15. The number is a perfect square.. 16. The number is a multiple of four. 17. How many different ways are there of answering a test with twenty multiple choice questions, each with four choices? 18. A diner serves a blue plate special which is your choice of hamburger or chicken sandwich, fries or chips, coke or coffee and pie or ice cream. You may pick only one of each item. How many possible lunches are there? 19. Solve 15! 12 ! x 20. Find the probabilities associated with the following events. A .07 B .06 C .10 D E F .08 G .33 H .04 a. P(D)=7P(E) b. P(E) = 3P(D) c. P(D) = .6P(E) d. P(D)= 5.4P(E) 21. Advanced Nails makes conductors. The probability of any of its conductors being usable is 0.99984. What is the probability that it is not usable?

Reaction None Mild Strong Within 5 minutes 420 60 20 After Five Minutes 50 330 120 Totals Reactions to Poison Ivy. A random sample of 1000 individuals with poison ivy allergies participated in a study to gauge their reactions to the oil from a poison ivy plant, Oil from the poison ivy plant was rubbed on the skin of the individual. Half of the subjects had the oil washed off within 5 minutes, the other half had the oil washed off after five minutes. The results are summarized in the chart above. The notation for the events will be W= washing oil off within 5 minutes, A= washing oil off after 5 minutes, N=no reaction, M= mild reaction and S= Strong reaction. Find the following: 37. P(N) 38.
