5. [5] From a group of 12 students, how many different groups of 2 could be chosen to sit in the front row.

 

 

 

 

6. [10].  The probability that a parking place is available in deck I is .8 and the probability that a parking place is available in deck II is .6. [assume independence]  Calculate the probabilities

 

 

 

PaParking available in both decks

 

 

 

 

PaParking available in only one deck

 

 

 

 

PaParking not available in either deck

 

 

 

 

 

7. [10] The probability it snows is .7 and the probability class is canceled is .4.  What is the probability it snows and class is canceled?

 

 

 

.  What is the probability it snows or class is canceled?

 

 

 

8. [7] The probability class end early is .5 and the probability a test is returned in class is .2.  The probability that class ends early and a test is returned is .1.   Show whether the events that class end early and a test is returned are independent.

 

 

 

 

9. [8] The mean time to commute is 40 minutes and the standard deviation is 10 minutes.

 

About 68% of the commutes are between ----------- and --------------.

 

About 95% of the commutes are between ----------- and --------------.
