1. List the simple events for each of the following statistical experiments in a sample space.
a) One roll of a die.
Note: Separate your response with a comma (,). For example 22, 23, 24
b) Three tosses of a coin.
Note: Use this notation for your answer. heads = H. tails = T. For example HT, TH
c) One toss of a coin and one roll of a die.
Note: Use this notation. Heads = H or numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 for the dice. For example
H1 indicates heads and dice roll equal to 1.
2. Two students are randomly selected from a statistics class, and it is observed whether or not they
suffer from math anxiety. Indicate which are simple and which are compound events.
a) Both students suffer from math anxiety.
b) Exactly one student suffers from math anxiety.
c) The first student does not suffer and the second suffers from math anxiety.
d) None of the students suffers from math anxiety.
3. A hat contains 40 marbles. Of them, 18 are red and 22 are green. If one marble is randomly selected
out of this hat.
a) What is the probability that this marble is red (round to two decimal places)?
b) What is the probability that this marble is green (round to two decimal places?
4. Two thousand randomly selected adults were asked whether or not they have ever shopped on the
Internet. The following table gives a two-way classification of the responses.
Male
Female
Have Shopped
500
300
Have Never Shopped
700
500
a) If one adult is selected at random from these 2000 adults, find the probability that this adult has
never shopped on the Internet.
b) If one adult is selected at random from these 2000 adults, find the probability that this adult is a
male.
c) If one adult is selected at random from these 2000 adults, find the probability that this adult has
shopped on the Internet given that this adult is a female.
d) If one adult is selected at random from these 2000 adults, find the probability that this adult is a
male given that this adult has never shopped on the Internet.
