3 18. One of two chromosomes can be inherited from the mother and one of two from the father, thus there are 2 2 = 4 different ways of inheriting a chromosome. If X 1 and X 2 are the mother s chromosomes, and X 3 and Y are the father s chromosomes, then the possibilities are: (X 1, X 3 ), (X 2, X 3 ), (X 1, Y), and (X 2, Y). Chapter 6 Answers 3

Sample answer: When two events are mutually exclusive, the number of things in each can be added. However, if the events are not mutually exclusive, the number of things in both events must be subtracted from this sum because the sum counts those things in both events twice. Chapter 6 Answers 4

When the order matters, the probability of winning is 1/1000; when order does not matter, the probability of winning is 3/ f(n) = n f(n 1). Chapter 6 Answers 5

Sample answer: No, because from 1998 to 2004 is 6 years, which is four 18- month periods. Therefore, a claim of 1/16 th seems more reasonable. c. Sample answer: Each doubling adds 1.5 years to the time, and a 128-bit system doubles the number of keys 72 times over a 56-bit system. Therefore, = 108, and = 2,106. d. Sample answer: The order of the bits in a key is important. Therefore, the word permutation seems more appropriate than combination. 20. a. 7 b. C(7, 2) = 21 c. 7 + C(7, 2) = 28 d. A domino has one number of spots on one half and another number of spots on the other half, or it has the same number of spots on both halves. e. 7/28 or 1/4 f C(13, 2) = C(4, 1) + C(4, 2) + C(4, 3) + C(4, 4) = a.

Sample answer: No. Permutation lock would be more appropriate. 25. a. 1/6 b. 5/6 c. Sample answer: The odds in favor of Falling Sky are 1-36 or 1/50 or.028.

Sample answer: probably not since many teams have better records at home than they do overall. b. The team would have to be either more or less likely to win in bad weather than to win in general. Alternately, the team would have to have a better or worse record in bad weather than the team has overall. 3. a. 684/1000 =.684 b =.88, which is larger than.684. c.

11 9. a..9.7 = a. b. That the outcomes of the two games are independent. Probably not because, for example, the outcome of the first game could have a psychological effect on the team in the second game. b..12 c =.32 d..56 e. No, because the probability of rain tomorrow depends on today s weather. 11. a. b ,996 = 2,192 c. 196 d. 196/2192, or about.089. e. Because of the conditional probabilities that are known. For example, since it is known that the test is positive 98% of the time when a person has the disease, disease incidence must be on the first branch. 12. a. Yes. One die has no effect on the other. b. 1/6 1/6 = 1/36 Chapter 6 Answers 11

That the two events are independent. c. The probability of selecting a man with red hair is.1; the probability of selecting a man who owns a blue car is.125; and the probability of selecting a man who has red hair and owns a blue car is about The product of the first two probabilities is.0125, so the events are quite close to being independent. 20. a. 6 6 = 36 b. 1/36 c. 1/36 1/36 = 1/1296 d. 35/36 e. 35/36 35/36 = 1225/1296 f.

Sample answer: Per million, a person has a risk of of dying from terrorist action or auto accident on a given day. Of course, this assumes that the two are mutually exclusive, a reasonable assumption unless a terrorist attack on a vehicle is considered both terrorism and auto accident, which seems unlikely. For a seven-day trip, the risk is then per million. Chapter 6 Answers 13
14 Lesson a. The probability of each outcome is 1/2, and successive applications are independent. b. The probability of choosing the third answer is 1/2, while the probability of choosing each of the others is 1/4; successive applications are independent. c. Each possibility probably has a 1/4 chance of occurring, but successive applications may not be independent if, for example, one finger is injured. d. Each possibility has the same chance of occurring, and successive applications are independent. 2. a. C(5, 3) = 10 b.

That the individual field goal attempts are independent. At least one study in the NBA supported the belief that individual attempts are independent, although many players disagree. c. 4.34, the average number of shots Sara could expect to make in 7 attempts. 15. a. The expected gain is 5(.3) 10(.1) + 3(.4) + 7(.2) = $0.10. Since the expected gain is positive, one could argue in favor of buying the stock. However, since the expected gain is a relatively small percentage of the stock s value, there are likely to be better investments. b. Since C(42, 6) = 5,245,786; the jackpot must be more than $5,245,785. c. Answers on this question are a matter of opinion. However, there are mathematicians who buy lottery tickets only when the expected value is positive. 16. a. If the teams are evenly matched, the probability a given team wins a given game is 1, and the probability that a given team wins 4 games in a row is 2 4! 1 $ " # 2% &. Multiplication by 2 is necessary because there are two teams. b. The second student is correct. If the teams are called A and B, then the number of ways A can win a 5-game series are: BAAAA, ABAAA, AABAA, and AAABA. C(5, 4) also counts AAAAB, which is a 4-game series won by A. 5! 1 $ The probability is therefore 2 4 " # 2% & =.25. Chapter 6 Answers 16
17 c. C(6, 4) is too large because it counts the number of series that end in 4 or 5 games, which can be corrected by subtracting the counts in parts a and b. The number of ways a given team can win a 6-game series is C(6, 4) 4 1 = 10. 6! 1 $ Thus, the probability a series ends in 6 games is 2 10 " # 2% & = d..3125, which can be found by subtracting the previous three probabilities! 1 $ from 1 or by calculating directly: 2 (C(7, 4) Ð 15) " # 2% & 17. a.

18 Chapter 6 Review 1. A reasonable answer should include the following points: Ways of counting: the fundamental principle, permutations and combinations, the addition principle and mutually exclusive events, the multiplication principle and independent events. Probability, including how the addition and multiplication principles are applied and, in particular, conditional probability. Binomial probability and probability distributions should also be discussed. 2. a. 7900/46900, or about.168. b. 2300/13700 or about.168. c /46900 or about.292. d. 2300/46900 or about.049. e /46900 or about.412. f. Yes, because, as shown in parts a and b, the cat owners are as common among the professionals as among the community as a whole. g. No, because there are people who are both cat owners and professionals. 3. a = 45,697,600 b One might conclude that the old system permitted only about 14 million different plates. Technically, the use of the word combination by the minister is inappropriate permutation is correct. 4. C(5, 1) = 5, C(5, 2) = 10, C(5, 3) = 10, C(5, 4) = 5, C(5, 5) = a. (1/2) 3 = 1/8 b.

One calculation that is close to 40,312 is 8! = 40,320 perhaps MacDonald s subtracted 8 from this for some reason such as trying to account for 0 items. 9. a. 3!5! = 720 b. About There are C(39, 5) = 575,757 different winning tickets possible in the first and C(36, 6) = 1,947,792 ways of winning in the second, so the probability of winning in the first is between three and four times as great as in the second.

22 23. Mutually exclusive: rolling a number divisible by 5 and rolling a number divisible by 3, rolling a number divisible by 5 and rolling a number divisible by 2. However rolling a number divisible by 2 and rolling a number divisible by 3 are not mutually exclusive because 6 is divisible by both 2 and 3. The probability of rolling a number divisible by 2 is 1/2, and the probability of rolling a number divisible by 3 is 1/3. Since the product of these two probabilities, 1/6, is the same as the probability of rolling a number divisible by both 2 and 3, these two events are independent. Since rolling a 2 and rolling a 5 are mutually exclusive, the probability of doing both is 0. The product of the individual probabilities is not 0, so the events are not independent. A similar argument holds for rolling a 3 and rolling a a. No. For the events to be mutually exclusive, the study would have found no places where a gun is kept in the home and a gunshot death occurred. Clearly this is not the case. b. No. The study found that the existence of a gun in the home increases the probability of gunshot death. If the events were independent, one would have no effect on the probability of the other. 25. a. C(59, 5) C(35, 1) = 175,223,510, so the probability is b. Per 1,000 the death rate in a 1-hour period is about, or ! 24 This probability is about 168 times the probability of winning the jackpot. c.
