Characteristics of probability


Question 1: A die is thrown as long as essential for an ace or 6 to turn up. Given that no ace turned up at the first two throws, determine the probability that at least three throws will be essential?

Question 2: Given that a student studied, the probability of passing a certain quiz is 0.99. Given that they didn’t study. The probability of passing the quiz is o.05 supposed that the probability of studying is 0.7. A student flunks the quiz. Determine the probability the he or she didn’t study?

Question 3: Considering the statistical properties of electron emission in a thermonic vacuum tube, determine the probability of no electron beam emitted in t seconds.

Question 4: Train X arrives at the station at random in the time interval (O, T) stopping for ‘a’ mins. Train Y arrives independently in the similar interval stopping for ‘b’ minutes

a) Determine the probability P which X will arrive before Y.
b) Determine the probability P2 which the trains will meet.
c) Supposing that they met, determine that probabilityP3 which X arrived before Y.

Question 5: The population of Cyprus is 75% Greek and 25% Turkish. 20% of the Greeks and 10% of the Turks Speak English. A visitor to the town meets someone who speaks English. Determine the probability that he is a Greek? Deduce your answer in terms of the population of the town.
