What is the probability of selecting a face card and then a red card from a deck of cards with replacement?

(12/52)(26/52)=312/2704 = 0.12 = 12%

If 74 students were surveyed on if they like Algebra and/or Geometry, what is the probability a student likes neither? 

74-43-6-5=20

20/74=0.27=27%

P(Likes Ranch U doesn't like ketchup)? 

40/62+14/62-8/62=46/62=0.74=74%

What is the probability of selecting two spades from a deck of cards without replacement? 

(13/52)(12/51)=156/2652=0.06=6%

200

What is the probability the student is a sophomore and prefers vanilla?

Must use overlap!! Do not multiply! 

8/100 = 0.08 = 8%

(NOT 12/100*58/100 because it gives you 0.07 so the preference on ice cream flavor isn't independent of grade level).

P(doesn't like ranch | doesn't like ketchup)

6/14=0.43=43%

A bag contains 4 purple skittles, 5 yellow skittles, and 2 green skittles. What is the probability of selecting 3 green without replacement?

(2/11)(1/10)(0/9)=0/990=0=0%

What is the probability a student is a junior or likes swirl ice cream?


42-4-15 = 23 juniors like swirl ice cream. 

P(junior) + P(swirl) - P(overlap) 

42/100 + 62/100 - 23/100=81/100 = 0.81=81%

Find P(starbursts|skittles)

P(both)/P(skittles) 

Skittles = 64+14 = 78 people 

64/78=0.82=82%

What is the probability of selecting a king or a red face card from a standard deck of cards? 

4/52+6/52-2/52=8/52=0.15=15%

400

If 74 students were surveyed on if they like algebra and/or geometry, what is the probability the student likes Geometry?

74-42-11-13=8

8+11 = 19 students like geometry

19/74=0.26=26%

400

Find P(starbursts ∩ skittles)

# of people who like starbursts = 92 (28+64)

# of people total = 118 (28+64+14+12) 

92/118 = 0.78 = 78%

A bag contains 4 purple skittles, 5 yellow skittles, and 2 green skittles. What is the probability of selecting a purple, then purple, then green with replacement? 

(4/11)(4/11)(2/11)=32/1331=0.02=2%

In class, when asked about the best type of sour patch candy between sour patch kids, watermelon, BIG, and strawberry, 100 students voted. 40 of the students were juniors and the rest were sophomores. Of the students that voted, 1/20 students voted for BIG sour patch candy. 30 of the sophomores voted for watermelon and 7/20 of the juniors voted for watermelon. 3 Juniors voted for BIG, and 52.5% of the juniors voted for sour patch kids. Only 8 students voted for strawberry. Make a two-way table.

What is P(starbursts')

Use the venn diagram to make a two way table if you want to use ratios: 

64:14 does not equal 28:12 OR 

(92/118)(78/118)=0.515369

and 

64/118=0.542372

So liking starbursts IS dependent on liking skittles (because it isn't independent).
