Question
advanced math decision making
unit 2
- you pick a day of the week, then choose a letter from the word math.
b) how many outcomes are possible?
c) what is the probability of picking day that starts with an s, then picking a t from the word math?
d) suppose you now had to pick a color, red or blue, after choosing your day of the week and letter, how many outcomes are possible now?
- the following countries are written on pieces of paper and placed inside a hat: \cuba, jamaica, canada, america, mexico, haiti, grenada and honduras\. what is the probability of selecting a country that does not start with a c?
set theory
- use the following venn diagram to answer a-d.
venn diagram with circles c and d, colors: c has blue, orange, green, red (overlap); d has purple, black, red (overlap), pink outside; yellow outside both
a) what colors are in d?
b) what colors are in only c?
c) what colors are in c ∩ d?
d) what colors are in c’ (the complement of c)?
2b)
Step1: Count days of the week
There are 7 days in a week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. So, number of ways to pick a day is \( 7 \).
Step2: Count letters in "MATH"
The word "MATH" has 4 letters: M, A, T, H. So, number of ways to pick a letter is \( 4 \).
Step3: Use multiplication principle
To find the total number of outcomes, multiply the number of ways to pick a day by the number of ways to pick a letter. So, total outcomes \( = 7\times4 = 28 \).
Step1: Count days starting with "S"
Days starting with "S" are Saturday and Sunday, so there are \( 2 \) such days.
Step2: Count "T" in "MATH"
In the word "MATH", there is \( 1 \) "T".
Step3: Calculate probability
Probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by total outcomes (from 2b, total outcomes are \( 28 \)). Favorable outcomes \( = 2\times1 = 2 \). So, probability \( = \frac{2}{28}=\frac{1}{14} \).
Step1: Recall total outcomes from 2b
From 2b, we had \( 28 \) outcomes for day and letter.
Step2: Count color choices
There are 2 color choices: red or blue.
Step3: Use multiplication principle
Total new outcomes \( = 28\times2 = 56 \).
