1. Use a Venn diagram to determine which of the following are valid syllogisms:
a. Nothing is better than a hot fudge sundae.
A piece of stale bread is better than nothing.
Therefore, a piece of stale bread is better than a hot fudge sundae.
b. College classes are fun.
Math 110 is a college class.
Therefore, Math 110 is fun.
c. Hot fudge sundaes are high in fat.
French fries are high in fat
Therefore, french fries are hot fudge sundaes
2. State the contrapositive of the following:
a. If this is your favorite class then you will do well.
b. If it tastes bad then it must be good for you.

  1. You decide to start a Math 110 Lotto by letting people choose four lowercase letters. (a) How many choices are possible if the order matters and the letters may be repeated?

(b) How many possible if the order doesn’t matter and the letters may not be repeated?

  1. How many 5 card hands (from a standard deck of cards) containing exactly two tens are possible? What’s the probability of getting such a hand in a fair deal of five cards from a full deck of cards?
  2. You flip a coin 4 times. What is the probability that you don’t get at least two heads?
  3. You roll two dice. What is the probability that you get an eight or higher?
  4. You draw one card from a deck of cards. What is the probability that it is either a queen or a heart?
  5. You are dealt 5 cards. What is the probability that they form a straight (in numercal sequence)?
  6. You invent a game, where a player rolls two dice. He wins $15 if he gets a 12 and $4 if he gets a 7. Is a charge of $1 to play each time a good or bad business move? Explain.
  7. Your weekly sales commission varies. Twenty percent of the time it is $200. Fifty percent of the time it is $80. And the rest of the time it is $10. Find your expected commission.
  8. You are dealt 2 cards. What is the probability that the second one is an heart?
  9. In a survey of students, one third of the students are taking Math 110, of which 85% love math. Half of those not taking Math 110 love math. What percentage of the students surveyed love math?
  10. A survey of smokers and non-smokers is taken in a town where very few people smoke. Let A be the event “the person has health problems involving the respiratory system” and B be the event “the person has smoked for fifteen years or more”. Discuss the difference between P (A and B) and P (A given B). Which is likely to be bigger? Why?
  11. Are the events “being native-born” and “being not a citizen” independent? mutually exclusive?

The factory in Mobile produces 50% of the company’s products with a 6% defect rate, Nirvana produces 30% with a 5% defect rate, and Podunk has a 7.5% defect rate. Are the events “being defective” and “being produced in Mobile” independent for MathCo’s products?
  14. Review all the homework, the quizzes, and everything else.
