1. For detemining the monthly premiums of their customers, an automobile insurance company classifies drivers into 3 classes: Good drivers (G), medium-level drivers (M) and bad drivers (B). The percentage of drivers in each class is as follows: Class G: 25%, Class M: 60%, Class B: 15%. The probabilities that a driver in each of these classes will have an accident in one year are given as follows: For Class G= 0.005, for Class M= 0.025, for Class B= 0.035 a) What is the probability that a driver has an accident within the first year? b) A driver purchasing an insurance policy has an accident within the first year. What is the probability that he/she was classified as a good driver (in Class G)?

In a town, there are three bridges: Bridge A, Bridge B, and Bridge C. On any given day, the probability of each bridge being open for passage is as follows: P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.3, and P(C) = 0.5. If a resident needs to cross all three bridges in succession, what is the probability of successfully crossing all three bridges without encountering any closures?

1. Researchers are interested in the relationship between vaping and upper respiratory infections. Suppose that 15% of their population of interest has vaped in the past year and 25% have had an upper respiratory infection in the past year. In addition, they know that 10% have both vaped and had an upper respiratory infection in the past year. What percent of the population has neither vaped nor had an upper respiratory infection in the past year? b. What is the probability of having an upper respiratory infection in the past year given that the person has vaped in the past year? What is the complement of the event in part b)? Be sure to interpret this probability in the context of the problem. a. C. d. What is the probability of having an upper respiratory infection in the past year given that the person has not vaped in the past year? Are the two events independent? Be sure to justify your answer. Based on your calculations what can you conclude about the relationship between vaping…
9. A law firm employs three types of lawyers: junior lawyers, senior lawyers, and partners. During a given year, there is a 0.1 probability that a junior lawyer will be promoted to senior lawyer and a 0.05 probability that he or she will leave the firm. Also, there is a 0.2 probability that a senior lawyer will be promoted to partner and a 0.15 probability that he or she will leave the firm. There is a 0.03 probability that a partner will leave the firm. The firm never demotes a lawyer. th Let Xn be the status of an employee at the n' year after he or she has been hired, it could be one of the three types of lawyers (junior, senior, or partner) or two types of leaving (either leaving as a partner or leaving as a non-partner).

At the beginning of each day, a patient in the hospital is classifed into one of the three conditions: good, fair or critical. At the beginning of the next day, the patient will either still be in the hospital and be in good, fair or critical condition or will be discharged in one of three conditions: improved, unimproved, or dead. The transistion probabilities for this situation are Good Fair Critical Good 0.65 0.20 0.05 Fair 0.50 0.30 0.12 Critical 0.51 0.25 0.20 Improved Unimproved Dead Good 0.06 0.03 0.01 Fair 0.03 0.02 0.03 Critical 0.01 0.01 0.02 For example a patient who begins the day in fair condition has a 12% chance of being in critical condition the next day and a 3%…
