Probability and Statistics Solutions

Solutions:
Q1(a): A standard deck has 52 cards, with 6 red face cards (3 hearts + 3 diamonds).
Probability = 6/52 = 3/26 ≈ 0.115 or 11.5%.

Q1(b): First Ace = 4/52, Second Ace = 3/51, Both = (4/52) * (3/51) = 12/2652 = 1/221 ≈
0.0045 or 0.45%.

Q2(a): There are 6 sides, and two favorable outcomes (3 and 5). Probability = 2/6 = 1/3 ≈
0.333 or 33.3%.

Q2(b): Total blocks drawn = 4 (blue) + 2 (yellow) + 2 (red) = 8. Probability = 4/8 = 1/2 =
50%.

Q3(a): (60 + 50 - 30)/100 = 80/100 = 0.8 or 80%.

Q3(b): Probability of blue candy = 6 blue out of 10 total. Probability = 6/10 = 0.6 or 60%.

New probability after adding more blue candies = Adding 5 blue makes it 11 blue out of
15 total. New probability = 11/15 ≈ 0.733 or 73.3%.

Probability of red first then blue = (4/10) * (6/9) = 24/90 = 4/15 ≈ 0.267 or 26.7%.

Q4: There are 12 face cards (4 Kings). Probability = 4/12 = 1/3 ≈ 0.333 or 33.3%.
