1.[22 pt.] Compute the following probabilities.
1.1) [7 pt.] 6 cards are drawn from the deck successively at random and without replacement. Let A be the event of two spades appears in the first five draws. Let B be the event
of a spade on the sixth draw. The probabilities of the two events are known as P{A} = 0.274280 and P[B]A} = 0.234043. What is the probability of the third spade appears on the
sixth draw?
1.2) [7 pt.] A roulette wheel has numbers from 1 to 20, as well as 0 and 00. When an odd number comes up, you win $2; otherwise, you lose $2. What is the expected gain (or loss)
from a single trial? What is the variance of the gain (or loss)?

1.3) (8 pt.] A student is taking a multiple-choice exam in which each question has four choices. Assume that the student has no knowledge of the correct answers to any of the
questions. She has decided on a strategy in which she will place four balls (marked A, B, C, and D) into a box. She randovaly selects one ball for each question and replaces the ball
in the box. The marking on the ball will determine her answer to the question. There are five multiple-choice questions on the exam. What is the probability that she will get less
than four correct answers?

2. [39 pt.] Energy drink consumption has continued to gain in popularity since the 1997 debut of Red Bull, the current leader in the energy drink market. Given below are the
exam scores in Statistics and Marketing courses and the number of 12-oz. energy drinks consumed within a week prior to the exams of 5 college students (assume that the two
exams were on the same date).
