A company has been randomly selecting employees to join committees but there does not seem to be a very equal distribution of level of employees (executives don’t want to be on committees). Assume that this is a really, really large company where 15% are executives; 20% are managers; 40% are exempt staff and the remaining are non-exempt staff. If 10 committees are to be formed (each with 6 members) what is the probability that at least 7 of the 10 have 2 managers, 2 exempt and 2 non-exempt staff?

Suppose that you select a random sample of 200 pharmaceutical corporate managers and a study showed that the proportion held by women is 0.15, What is the probability that in the sample less than 15% of the corporate managers will be women? What is the probability that in the sample between 13% and 17% of the corporate managers will be women? What is the probability that in the sample between 10% and 20% of the corporate managers will be women? If a sample of 100 is taken, how does this change your answers to (a) through (c)?
Detecting terrorists is a real problem, one that causes governments to spend millions per year. A particular surveillance system has been developed which correctly identifies a future terrorist 99% of the times and detects someone who is not a future terrorist 99.9% of times. Suppose that in a population of 300 million, there are 1000 potential/future terrorists. If one of these 300 million is randomly selected and scrutinized by the system, what is the probability that the person selected is actually a future terrorist? Also explain if the value of this probability makes you uncomfortable about using a surveillance system? Explain.
One student is selected at random from a group of 200 known to consist of 140 full-time (80 female and 60 male) student and 60 part-time (40 female and 20 male) students. Event A is "the student selected is full-time" and event C is "the student selected is female". (a) Are events A and C independent? (b) Find the probability of one student selected is full-time, that should be female.

1. A city has 9 coffee shops: 3 Starbuck's, 2 Caribou Coffees, and 4 Crazy Mocho Coffees. If a person selects one shop at random to buy a cup of coffee, find the probability that it is either a Starbuck's or Crazy Mocho Coffees.
In 2013, the total sales from 3 different car production companies was 606,334 cars or light trucks. The probability that the vehicle was made by Company A was 0.386, by Company B 0.350, and by Company C 0.258. Additionally, the probability that a Company A vehicle sold was a car was 0.379, a Company B vehicle sold was a car was 0.370, and a Company C vehicle sold was a car was 0.332. Given the vehicle sold was a car, find the probability it was made by Company A. The probability a vehicle was made by Company A, given it was a car is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
