    This document contains 4 probability questions involving color brochures with printing and color defects, students solving statistics problems, counters in urns, and a random variable W that can take several values. The summaries are: 1) The probabilities of printing and color defects in brochures are given, and questions involve finding the probability of one defect, the probability of a defect given another, and if the defects are independent. 2) Students solved statistics problems of varying difficulty, and questions involve probabilities of getting problems correct, both, or at least one. 3) Counters are placed in two urns with different compositions, and questions involve probabilities of drawing a black counter from a randomly selected urn and from a specific urn

    Probability - Test

    Duration: 45 Minutes

    1) Colour brochures produced by a particular printer may be sub quality (defective) because of
    Print quality (PQ) or Colour quality (CQ)

    The probabilities of these defects are

    P (PQ) =0.01 P (CQ) = 0.02 P (PQ ∩ CQ) = 0.007.

    a) Find the probability that a brochure has only one defect. (2)

    b) A brochure with a colour quality defect is picked. What is the probability that it has a
    print defect? (3)

    c) Are the defects PQ and CQ are independent? Justify. (2)


    2) Students in a class were given two statistics problems to solve, the second of which was
    harder than the first. Within the class 5/6 of the students got the first one correct and 7/12
    got the second one correct. Of those students who got the first problem correct, 3/5 got the
    second one correct. One student is selected at random from the class.

    Let A be the event that the student got the first problem correct and B be the event that the
    student got the second one correct.

    a) Express in words the meaning of A ∩ B and of A U B. (2)

    b) Find P(A ∩ B) and P(A U B). (4)

    c) Given that the student got the second problem wrong, find the probability that the first
    problem was solved correctly. (2)

    d) Are the events A and B collectively exhaustive. Justify. (2)


    3) Two identical urns contain counters. Urn I contains 4 black and 7 white counters and urn II
    contains 3 black, 1 white, and 4 yellow counters. An urn is selected at random and then a
    counter is removed.

    a) What is the probability that a black counter is drawn? (4)

    b) What is the probability that you obtain a counter from urn II, given that the counter is
    black? (3)
    4) The random variable W can take the values -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4. The probability of W
    being 0 is . The probabilities for all the other values of X are equal.

    a) Find the expected value of W, denoted E(W). (3)

    b) Find the standard deviation of W, denoted by (3)

    c) Find P(X < E(W) - 2 ). (3)
