Chapter 3 Probability Distributions 1. Based on recent records‚ the manager of a car painting center has determined the following probability distribution for the number of customers per day. Suppose the center has the capacity to serve two customers per day. |x |P(X = x) | |0 |0.05 | |1 |0.20 | |2 |0.30 | |3 |0.25 | |4 |0.15 | |5 |0.05 | a. What is the probability that one

of Hume’s (1748) An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. Namely‚ section six‚ Of Probability‚ and‚ section seven‚ Of the Idea of Necessary Connexion‚ focusing on the text’s key points. Hume starts section six by asserting that there is no such thing as chance in the world. Instead‚ it is our ignorance of the causes of events that lead us to believe in chance. Nevertheless‚ Hume posits that there is probability‚ that is‚ a greater chance of something taking place than a contrary. Here‚ Hume uses

Homework 3 Probability 1. As part of a Pick Your Prize promotion‚ a store invited customers to choose which of three prizes they’d like to win. They also kept track of respondents’ gender. The following contingency table shows the results: | MP3 Player | Camera | Bike | Total | Men | 62 | 117 | 60 | 239 | Woman | 101 | 130 | 30 | 261 | Total | 163 | 247 | 90 | 500 | What is the probability that: a. a randomly selected customer would pick the camera? 247/500= 0.494=
