18. Suppose that, for any survivor of Oceanic flight 815, the probability of getting off the island they land on is approximately 42%. If each person's chances of getting off the island is independent of the others and we are only concerned with the fate of SIX survivors, what is the probability of more than 5 getting off the island? A) 0.0510 B) 0.9945 C) 0.9619 D) 0.0055 E) 0.0131

10) In a particular class (in another department) the statistics of scores on two midterms and one final revealed the following facts: a) The probability to pass the final is 1/2 b) The probability to pass the final – given that both midterms were passed– is 3/4/. c) The probability to pass the final – given that at least one of the midterms was flunked– is 1/4..d) Passing the first and second midterm are independent events with equal probability. Based on the above information, compute the probability of passing the first midterm.
