Q1. The Monty Hall problem is as follows: A contestant on a game show is given the opportunity to select one of three curtains on stage. One curtain hides a valuable prize and the other two hide worthless prizes. After the contestants selection, Monty, who knows what is behind each curtain, draws back one of the remaining curtains to show a worthless prize and offers the contestant the chance to exchange the selected curtain for the one remaining. Should the contestant keep the curtain originally selected or exchange it for the remaining? Verfiy your answer using probabilities.

Q4. A sales representative for a tire manufacture claims that the companies steel-belted radials get at least 35,000 miles. A tire dealer decides to check this claim by testing eight of the tires.
