5.34 An appliance manufacturer offers extended war- ranties on its washers and dryers. Based on past sales, the manufacturer reports that of customers buying both a washer and a dryer, 52% purchase the extended war- ranty for the washer, 47% purchase the extended warranty for the dryer, and 59% purchase at least one of the two extended warranties. a. Use the given probability information to set up a hypo- thetical 1000 table. b. Use the table from Part (a) to find the following probabilities: i. the probability that a randomly selected cus- tomer who buys a washer and a dryer purchases an extended warranty for both the washer and the dryer. ii. the probability that a randomly selected customer purchases an extended warranty for neither the washer nor the dryer.

ATV show, Lindsay and Tobias, recently had a share of 15, meaning that among the TV sets in use, 15% were tuned to that show. Assume that an advertiser wants to verify that 15% share value by conducting its own survey, and a pilot survey begins with 12 households having TV sets in use at the time of a Lindsay and Tobias broadcast. a. Find the probability that none of thelhouseholds are tuned to Lindsay and Tobias. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

A newspaper vendor notes that his profit for the day is more than $100 with a probability of 0.7 on a working day, 0.8 on a weekend (Saturday or Sunday), and 0.9 on a statutory holiday (for example, Civic Holiday or Labour Day). In the week beginning with Labour Day, there are 4 working days, 2 weekend days, and 1 statutory holiday. A day is chosen at random from this week. If it is known that the vendor's profit for the chosen day is more than $100, what is the probability that the day is a working day? O 0.7571 0.4 0.5283 0.6 0.4717
Assume that there is a 66% rate of disk drive failure in a year. a. If all your computer data is stored on a hard disk drive with a copy stored on a second hard disk drive, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? b. If copies of all your computer data are stored on fourfour independent hard disk drives, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? a. With two hard disk drives, the probability that catastrophe can be avoided is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. With fourfour hard disk drives, the probability that catastrophe can be avoided is (Round to six decimal places as needed.)
A Toyota Fortuner that has been filled with gasoline has a 0.25 chance of needing an oil change; a 0.40 chance of needing a new oil filter; and a 0.14 chance of needing both the oil and the filter.

A local TV station employs Desmorelda, “Mistress of the Zodiac”, as its weather forecaster. She predicts a rainy day on the basis of Lunar phases. From statistical data (which is available to Desmorelda too) it is known that the probability of a rainy day during the Full Moon is 0,478, during the Third Quarter – 0,513, during the New Moon – 0,499, and during the First Quarter – 0,506. All phases last equally and the whole Lunar cycle takes 28 days. What is the probability that on a certain day Desmorelda will predict rain?
In a popular casino game, you can bet one whether a ball will fall in an arc on a wheel colored red, black, or green. Say the probability of a red outcome is StartFraction 18 Over 37 EndFraction1837, that of a black outcome is StartFraction 18 Over 37 EndFraction1837, and that of a green outcome is StartFraction 1 Over 37 EndFraction137. Suppose someone makes a $22 bet on blackblack. Find the expected net winnings for this single bet. Interpret the result. Choose the correct answer below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) A.
