random from the entire class, what is the probability that the selected student
likes football?
(a)
Distinguish between conditional and unconditional probability.

If a family has two children and we know that one of them is a girl, what is the
probability that the other child will also be a girl?

(a) A machine that produces stampings for automobile engines is malfunctioning and
producing 10% defective stampings. The defective and non-defective stampings
proceed from the machine in a random manner. If the next five stampings are tested,
find the probability that three of them are defective.

If a coin is tossed 7 times and the chance of getting a head in any single toss is
40%, calculate the expected value and variance for the number of heads obtained.

(a)
Find the probability that the standard normal random variable z falls between
-1.33 and 1.33.
(b) Assume that the travel time from City X to City Y is normally distributed with
a mean of 10 hours and a standard deviation of 1.5 hours. What is the
probability that the travel time falls between 8 and 12 hours?
