A biomedical research company produces 50% of its insulin at a plant in Kansas City, and the remainder is produced at a plant in Jefferson City. Quality control has shown that 0.85% of the insulin produced at the plant in Kansas City is defective, while 1.25% of the insulin produced at the plant in Jefferson City is defective. What is the probability that a randomly chosen unit of insulin came from the plant in Jefferson City given that it is defective?

An airline is considering adding a route to the city of Buffalo, NY. Market research predicts that if the airline serves Buffalo, there is a 32% probability of making a $500,000 profit, a 22% chance of breaking even, and a 46% probability of losing $300,000. What is the expected value of adding a route to Buffalo?
Deer ticks can carry both Lyme disease and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE). In a study of ticks in the Midwest, it was found that 15 % carried Lyme disease, while 11 % carried HGE. In addition, of the ticks with either Lyme disease or HGE, 16 % carried both diseases. (a) What is the probability P[L H] that a tick carrries both Lyme disease (L) and HGE (H)? P[LH] = (b) What is the conditional probability that a tick carries HGE, given that it has Lyme disease? P[H|L] =
