1. Isabel Briggs Myers was a pioneer in the study of personality types. The personality types are broadly defined according to four main preferences. Do married couples choose similar or different personality types in their mates? The following data give an indication.
Similarities and Differences in a Random Sample of 375 Married Couples
Number of Similar Preferences Number of Married Couples
All four 28
Three 134
Two 111
One 69
None 33
Suppose that a married couple is selected at random.
(a) Use the data to estimate the probability that they will have 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 personality preferences in common. (For each answer, enter a number. Enter your answers to 2 decimal places.)01234
(b) Do the probabilities add up to 1? Why should they?
Yes, because they do not cover the entire sample space.
No, because they do not cover the entire sample space.
Yes, because they cover the entire sample space.
No, because they cover the entire sample space.
What is the sample space in this problem?
0, 1, 2, 3 personality preferences in common
1, 2, 3, 4 personality preferences in common
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 personality preferences in common
0, 1, 2, 3, 4 personality preferences in common
2. The following question involves a standard deck of 52 playing cards. In such a deck of cards there are four suits of 13 cards each. The four suits are: hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades. The 26 cards included in hearts and diamonds are red. The 26 cards included in clubs and spades are black. The 13 cards in each suit are: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace. This means there are four Aces, four Kings, four Queens, four 10s, etc., down to four 2s in each deck.
You draw two cards from a standard deck of 52 cards without replacing the first one before drawing the second.
(a) Are the outcomes on the two cards independent? Why?
Yes. The events can occur together.
Yes. The probability of drawing a specific second card is the same regardless of the identity of the first drawn card.
No. The events cannot occur together.
No. The probability of drawing a specific second card depends on the identity of the first card.
(b) Find P(ace on 1st card and king on 2nd). (Enter your answer as a fraction.)
(c) Find P(king on 1st card and ace on 2nd). (Enter your answer as a fraction.)
(d) Find the probability of drawing an ace and a king in either order. (Enter your answer as a fraction.)
