​(a) What is the probability that George wins two thumb wars in a​ row?
​(b) What is the probability that George wins four thumb wars in a​ row?
​(c) When events are​ independent, their complements are independent as well. Use this result to determine the probability that George wins four thumb wars in a​ row, but does not win five in a row.

An automobile manufacturer produces a certain model of car. The fuel economy figures of these cars are normally distributed with a mean mileage per gallon (mpg) of 36.8 and a standard deviation of 1.3
(a) What is the probability that one of these cars will have an mpg of more than 37.5?
(b) What is the probability that one of these cars will have an mpg of less than 35?
(c) What is the probability that one of these cars will have an mpg of less than 40?

According to the Chronicles of Contrived Statistics (March, 2016), the probability that Elon Musk will offer you a free trip into space in the next month is 49%. The probability that scientists from Area 51 will start selling pet aliens next month is 46%. Finally, the probability that either Elon Musk will offer you a free trip to space or that scientists will begin sales of pet aliens next month is 31%. What is the probability that both Elon Musk will offer you a free trip into space and scientists from Area 51 will start selling pet aliens in the next month?

Tendulkar is playing a cricket tournament in which each player can play 200 balls and the player who hits maximum sixes wins. Tendulkar hits a six on the first ball, but misses out on the second.
After that, the probability that he hits a six is equal the proportion of sixes that he has hit so far. For example, at the third ball, the probability is ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}$.
(a) What is the probability that Tendulkar hits only one six?
(b) What is the probability that Tendulkar hits 100 sixes?

a) Mr Okyere takes banana and apple to the office to share with his office mate. The probability that he will eat the banana is 0.7 and 0.8 is the probability that he will eat the apple. The probability that he will eat both fruits is 0.6. Find the conditional probability that he will eat the apple given that he does not eat the banana.
b) The Ministry of Agriculture in its fight against the army worm infection of maize farms in the country has approved three brands of chemicals A, B and C to be used by farmers as follows: Farmers are to combine exactly two of the chemicals to spray their farms or they should use none of them. The proportions of farmers who opted for chemicals A, B and C are respectively given by i ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{5},\frac{1}{3}}$ and ${\displaystyle \frac{7}{15}}$ A farmer is randomly selected from the group of farmers. What is the probability that the farmer chose none of the chemicals?
c) Consider three boxes containing a brand of light bulbs. Box I contains 6 bulbs of which 2 are defective, Box 2 has 1 defective and 3 functional bulbs and Box 3 contains 3 defective and 4 functional bulbs. A box is selected at random and a bulb drawn from it at random is found to be defective. Find the probability that the box selected was Box 2.

When you toss a fair coin, the probability of getting heads is ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}$ and the probability of getting tails is ${\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}$.
When a coin is tossed 3 times, X is the number of heads.
(a) Create a probability distribution table for the variable X.
