A marble is drawn randomly from an urn containing 6 white and 4 black marbles. After a marble is drawn,
it is replaced and another marble is drawn again. This process goes on indefinitely.)
a. What is the probability that, of the first 4 marbles drawn, exactly 3 are white (5 pts)
(63 x 4 x C(4,3)) / 104 = 0.3456
b. What is the probability that, of the first 6 marbles drawn, there are at least 3 white (5 pts)
1 – (46 + 45x6xC(6,5) + 44x62xC(6,4))/106 = 0.8208
c. 5 red marbles are added into the urn. What is the probability that, of the first 9 marbles drawn, exactly 5 are red (5 pts)
No replacement: (5*4*3*2*1*104*C(5,9)) / (15*14*13*12*11*104) =0.042
Replacement: (55*104*C(9,5)) / 159 = 0.102 3. Question 3: 15 pts

b. What is the probability that the sum of the next 2 years’ rainfall will less than 4mm? (5 pts) 0.58
c. What is the probability that the sum of the next 3 years’ rainfall will exceed 5.89mm? (5 pts) 0.47661 4. Question 4: 15 pts
A life cycle of a ladybug includes three stages, namely, egg, larva, pupa and adult. The probability that an
egg can survive and become a larva is 0.7. The probability that a larva can survive and become a pupa is
0.6. The probability that a pupa can survive and become an adult is 0.5. Assume that there are 100 eggs.
a. Find the probability a randomly selected egg has survived to pupa stage (5 pts) 0.7*0.6=0.42
b. Find the expected number of adults. (5 pts) 0.7*0.6*0.5*100=21

c. If we know that an egg cannot become an adult, what is the probability that it died at larva stage, pupa stage? (5 pts)
Cannot become an adult: 1-0.7*0.6*0.5=0.79
Larva stage: (0.7*0.4)/0.79=0.35
Pupa stage: (0.7*0.4*0.5)/0.79=0.27 5. Question 5: 15 pts
The probability of variable X is given as follow Demand Probability ( X ) 1 0.1 2 0.2 3 0.4 4 0.2 5 0.1
a. Find the cumulative probability distribution for X, then calculate the expected value of X (5 pts) f x( ) 2 b. x- 3x
Find the expected value and variance of the function 2 . (6 pts)
c. Given X is a demand of a product. The purchasing cost of one unit of this product is 4. The unit selling
price is 6. If we purchase more than demand we will lost -1 for each unit cannot be sold. Find the optimal
