If there were only sandwiches bought, there would be 15, if there were only salads bought there would be 20. There’s probably more than one possibility, but that’s the best I can do, considering how long it’s been since I’ve done this type of problem. I’m all the way to learning determinants, so I really have to think to remember these. Sorry in advance if this doesn’t help at all, I’m not the best at this, but I can still try.
Answer and explanation:
To find : List the sample space and tell whether you think the events are equally likely ?
Solution :
a) Toss 2 coins; record the order of heads and tails.
Let H is getting head and t is getting tail.
When two coins are tossed the sample space is {HH,HT,TH,TT}.
Total number of outcome = 4
As the outcome HT is different from TH. Each outcome is unique.
Events are equally likely since their probabilities are same.
b) A family has 3 children; record the number of boys.
Let B denote boy and G denote girl.
If there are 3 children then the sample space is
{GGG,GGB,GBG,BGG,BBG,GBB,BGB,BBB}
The possible number of boys are 0,1,2 and 3.
Number of boys Favorable outcome Probability
0 GGG
1 GGB,GBG,BGG
2 GBB,BGB,BBG
3 BBB
Since the probabilities are not equal the events are not equally likely.
c) Flip a coin until you get a head or 3 consecutive tails; record each flip.
Getting a head in a trial is dependent on the previous toss.
Similarly getting 3 consecutive tails also dependent on previous toss.
Hence, the probabilities cannot be equal and events cannot be equally likely.
d) Roll two dice; record the larger number
The sample space of rolling two dice is
(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)
(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)
(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)
(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)
(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)
(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)
Now we form a table that the number of time each number occurs as maximum number then we find probability,
Highest number Number of times Probability
1 1
2 3
3 5
4 7
5 9
6 11
Since the probabilities are not the same the events are not equally likely.
