Sample Quiz 1 – Solutions
- Suppose that P(A) = 0.2 and P(B) = 0.3. What does P(A ∪ B) equal if A and B are
independent?
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A ∩ B)
Independent
= P(A) + P(B) − P(A)P(B) = 0.2 + 0.3 −
0.06 = 0.44 - The probability is 0.2 that a tyre will need to be replaced in any given year of driving.
What is the probability that a car having four tyres will need to have exactly three tyres
replaced in a year?
P(X = 3) =
