Problem 1: Solution:
How many different sums of money can be drawn from a A = city service responds
wallet containing one bill each of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 B = citizens’ service responds
dollars?
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B)
Solution: P(A or B) = 0.6 + 0.8 – 0.9

that Jose gets to watch the program on either of the channels?
Find the laborer’s mean earnings.
Solution:
Solution: Let A = channel 4 carries the program
µ = 0(0.3) + 6(0.2) + 12(0.3) + 16(0.2) B = channel 7 carries the program
µ = 8.0
P(A or B) = 0.5 + 0.7 – 0.3
P(A or B) = 0.9

above the $10,000 is $25,000 if their estimate is accepted. The
probability that their estimate will be accepted is 0.7 and the Solution:
probability that their estimate will not be accepted is 0.3. What is the Misclosure for precision of surveys
