uncertain.

questions.
• Keep your work to 4 decimals, unless otherwise stated.

1. Circle True (T) or False (F) for each of the following statements:
T F {H, T} represents the sample space for an experiment of flipping two coins, each with heads
(H) on one side and tails (T) on the other.
T F 13/12 represents a possible value of a probability.
T F Suppose that the probability of event A occurring is 1/5 and the probability of event B
occurring is 3/7. If events A and B are mutually exclusive, the probability that A and B occur
together is 0.
T F If a researcher samples without replacement, then future probabilities of the sampling process
are unaffected by prior probabilities.

2. At a recent convention, a group of 60 doctors were classified according to their specialties. The
number of doctors in each specialty was summarized as follows:
Pediatrician: 18 General Practitioner: 29 Surgeon: 4 Dermatologist: 9
If a doctor is selected at random, what is the probability that:
(1 mark)
a. the doctor is a dermatologist?
P(dermatologist) = 9/60 = 0.15
There is a 15% chance that the doctor is a dermatologist if selected at random.
