Two part-time instructors are hired by the Department of Statistics and each is assigned at random to teach a single course in p

robability, inference, or statistical computing. Assume that more than one section of each course is offered. List the outcomes in the sample space [Hint: each element consists of a pair of assignments]. Find the probability that they will teach different courses. Note: carefully define your notation (e.g. any events) in words before solving the problem.

Answer:

The probability that they will teach different courses is \frac{2}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space is a set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.

In this case we will write the sample space in the form (x, y).

Here <em>x</em> represents the course taught by the first part-time instructor and <em>y</em> represents the course taught by the second part-time instructor.

Denote every course by their first letter.

The sample space is as follows:

S = {(P, P), (P, I), (P, S), (I, P), (I, I), (I, S), (S, P), (S, I) and (S, S)}

The outcomes where the the instructors will teach different courses are:

s = {(P, I), (P, S), (I, P),(I, S), (S, P) and (S, I)}

The probability of an events <em>E</em> is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{N}

Compute the probability that they will teach different courses as follows:

P(\text{Different courses})=\frac{n(s)}{n(S)}=\frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3}

Thus, the probability that they will teach different courses is \frac{2}{3}.

Help more than 10 points
Drupady [299]
Ratio triangle height to square side 7:8
ratio triangle base to square side 1:2
Area of the square is 64 in² then the sides = 8 in

ratios give
h = 7(8)/8
h = 7

b = 8/2
b = 4

Area Triangle = 0.5(7)(4)
= 14

Then shaded region is the Area of the square minus the Area of the triangle.
A = 64 - 14
A = 50 in²
