A broker is studying the price movements of various stocks gn the market and is particularly interested in a company called MERALCO. He has observed that if this stock goes up on a given day, then the next day it has 50:50 chance of going up again, a 1 chance of staying the same price, and a chance of going w/ down. If the stock stays the same on a given day, then it is equally likely to go up, stay the same, or go down the next day. If the stock goes down on a given day, then the next day it has a 50:50 chance of going down again, a - chance of staying the same price, and a s chance of going up. What proportion of the time (in the long run) does the stock go up, stay the same and go down? 3

Suppose that Art can decide to go to work by one of three modes of transportation, car, bus, or commuter train. Because of high traffic, if he decides to go by car, there is a 50% chance he will be late. If he goes by bus, which has special reserved lanes but is sometimes overcrowded, the probability of being late is only 20%. The commuter train is almost never late, with a probability of only 5%, but is more expensive than the bus. Suppose that Art is late one day, and his boss wishes to estimate the probability that he drove to work that day by car. Since he does not know which mode of transportation Art usually uses, he gives a prior probability of 1/3 to each of the three possibilities. What is the boss’ estimate of the probability that Art drove to work? Suppose that a coworker of Art’s knows that he almost always takes the commuter train to work, never takes the bus, but sometimes, 10% of the time takes the car. What is the co-workers probability that Art drove to work that day,…

Miami Beach Medical Clinic (MBMC) has about 17.5 patients arriving per hour on average. MBMC serves about 20 patients per hour on average. Also, MBMC does NOT follow the traditional M/M/1 model. A patient arriving at this facility is expected to have one of the following wait times of (0 or 1 or 4 or 6 or 8 minutes) in the queue before being served. The probabilities associated with these wait times in the queue are 0.3, 0.2, 0.3, 0.1, and 0.1 respectively. The patient’s average wait time in queue is expected to be: a. 2.3 minutes b. 7.2 minutes c. 5.6 minutes d. 3.9 minutes e. 2.8 minutes

Q. 1 t is estimated that 809% of emails are spam emails. Some software has been applied to filter these spam emails before they reach our inbox. A certain brand of software claims that it can detect 99% of spam emails, and the probability for a false positive (a non-spam email detected as spam) is 5%. Now if an email is detected as spam, then what is the probability that it is in fact a non-spam email? event A: email is spam; event B: email is detected as spam. Assume that
Wendy needs to get to an airport from a hotel. There is 0.33 chance that she calls a cab, there is 0.11 chance that she gets a Uber. If she cannot get a cab or Uber, she will take a shuttle. If she calls a cab, there is 0.29 chance that she could miss the flight. If she gets a Uber, the chance of missing flight is 0.22. If she takes the shuttle, the chance is 0.28. What is the probability that she misses the flight? (Round your answer to three decimal places)
On a certain stretch of the East Coast Expressway, on average three birds per week are killed colliding with passing vehicles. The highway authority decides that if the probability of more than three birds per week being hit is more than 0.1, a special committee will be appointed to deal with the problem. Q1 (a) Determine whether the special committee will be appointed or not.
Students in a class like to secretly use online calculators in their quizzes. There are three such online calculators favoured amongst the students: WolframAlpha (WA), Symbolab (S), and GeoGebra (GG). A student's favourite calculator changes from quiz to quiz according to the following rules: If a student likes WA best, then it is has a 50% chance of remaining their favourite for the next quiz; 25% of becoming S for the next quiz; and 25% of becoming GG for the next quiz. If a student likes S best, then it has a 50% chance of becoming WA for the next quiz, and a 50% chance of becoming GG for the next quiz. If a student likes GG best, then it has a 33.3% chance of becoming any of the three calculators for the next quiz. For the first quiz, there are 120 who count WA as their favourite; 80 who count S as their favourite; and 50 who count GG as their favourite. What is true about the fourth quiz? Choose one of the following: 1. 115 students favour WA; 52 students favour S; and 83…

Suppose that on any given day, there is a 20% chance that Lebron has a bad day, a 50% day that Lebron has a so-so day, and a 30% chance that Lebron has a good day. On a bad day, the probability that Lebron makes any given 3-point shot is 0.5. On a so-so day, the probability that Lebron makes any given 3-point shot is 0.7. On a good day, the probability that Lebron makes any given 3-point shot is 0.9. Suppose that tomorrow, Lebron takes a 3-point shot, and we record whether he hits or misses and what kind of day he was having. What is the probability that Lebron hits? What is the probability that if Lebron is having a bad day given that he misses a shot that day?
