I missed my data management class on friday and now If find out I have a quiz tomorrow on the stuff I missed. I got fridays sheet but these questions seem really dumb and kind of confusing. Some of them seem so simple they are confusing.
here are some of the ones that confused me that maybe you guys can help out with
1) two dice are rolled . What is the probablility that the sum is 8 and the sum is even?
This seems kind of redundant to me. I mean if the sum is 8 then the sum is obviously even, so why bother saying that the sum is even? very confusing
2) You play a game of rilling two dice. You win if you roll a five before a seven. you continue to roll until you win or lose. what is probability that you win.
ok so the probablility that you roll a five is 4/36 and of rolling a seven is 6/36 but rolling a 5 before a 7. what do I do with that.
3) Chocolate bars are advertised to weigh 120g. It is found that there is a 65% probablility that the bar weighs 120g and a 20% probablility that it weighs less than 120g. what is the probablility that a bar, not weighing 120g is greater than 120g
It seems obvious that the answer is 15 chance. I have a feeling that this is trying to trick me in some way. (I just wish I knew which way it was)
4) a car manufacturing plant has 3 shifts working on the assembly line. THe morning shift produces 38% of the total production, the afternoon 34% and the evening 28%. Of their output 3%,2% and 1%, respectively, do not pass quality control. If a vehicle is selected randomly and found defective what is the probablilty that is was made by the a)morning b) afternoon c)evening shift.
This one I really have no idea on. obviously I only need help with one section a,b or c. I could figure the rest out for myself from that.
Well thanks for the help guys. I really need to ace this test tomorrow or my mark is going to bomb.
