A random number generator selects a sequence

Reference no: EM13852252

1. A random number generator selects a sequence of 20 digits from {0, 1, . . . , 9}. What is the probability [2] that the sequence contains at least one 3? (Hint: consider the probability that the sequence contains no 3's.)
2. An urn contains 7 red balls, 7 white balls, and 7 blue balls. A sample of 5 balls is drawn at random [3] without replacement. What is the probability that the sample contains 3 balls of one colour and 2 of another?
3. Odalys sells eggs to restaurants. Before she sends a package of eggs to a customer, she selects five of [8] the eggs in the package at random and checks to see if they are spoiled. She won't send the package if
any of the eggs she tests are spoiled.
1. (a) Suppose the package contains 18 eggs, and half of them are spoiled. How likely is it that Odalys detects a spoiled egg?
2. (b) Suppose the package contains 144 eggs, and half of them are spoiled. How likely is it that Odalys detects a spoiled egg?
3. (c) Suppose the package contains 144 eggs, and 10 of them are spoiled. How likely is it that Odalys detects a spoiled egg?
4. (d) What seems to have a bigger effect on the probability of finding a spoiled egg: the size of the package or the percentage of spoiled eggs? Justify your answer.
4. We select a subset X of the set S = {1, 2, . . . , 100} randomly and uniformly (i.e. every subset has the [8] same probability of being selected). What is the probability that (a) X has an even number of elements? (b) both 1 and 100 belong to X? (c) the largest element of X is 50? (d) X has at most 2 elements?
