b) Split the sequence of integers into pairs to form 2-digit numbers. Allocate numbers
from 1 to 42 for vowels, 43 to 98 for consonants, and 99 to 100 for blanks. Each
range corresponds to the quantity of each tile type. The type of tile each 2-digit
number represents is determined by the category it falls into.
c) The first seven 2-digit numbers would be 36, 19, 25, 70, 48, 36, 19. Based on
categories, our tiles would be [Consonant, Vowel, Vowel, Consonant, Consonant,
Consonant, Vowel].

a) T he probability of 0.56 means that if we were to draw a large number of tiles
approaching infinity, about 56% of those tiles would be consonants. This is in line
with the Law of Large Numbers, which notes that as the number of trials increases,
the experimental probability approaches the theoretical probability.
b) The probability of not pulling a consonant for the first tile is P(V) = 1 - P(C) = 1 -
0.56 = 0.44
c) The probability of pulling a vowel or a consonant is P(C ∪ V) = P(C) + P(V) - P(C ∩ V)
= 0.42 + 0.56 - 0 (P(C) and P(V) are mutually exclusive) = 0.98

) P(2 Consonants) = 28/50 * 55/99 = 0.311 & P (2 Vowels) = 21/50 * 41/99 = 0.174
b
It is more likely that 2 consonants are draw versus 2 vowels.

b) No, the next flip is not guaranteed to be tails. Each flip of a fair coin is an
independent event, meaning the outcome of one flip does not affect the outcome of
the next flip. While, it is more likely that tails will be the outcome, there is still a
non-zero chance of flipping heads.
c) An example of two independent events is flipping a coin and rolling a die. The
outcome of the coin flip does not affect the outcome of the die roll, and vice versa.
. Two separate random events that are mutually exclusive are drawing a heart from a deck of
5
cards and drawing a club. These events are mutually exclusive because a single card cannot
be both a heart and a club.
