A financial advisor is considering choosing four new companies for a client's portfolio. Suppose we know that 30% of all new companies are profitable. The events that the various companies provide returns are assumed to be independent. a. Calculate the probability that exactly one company gives a positive return. b. How many profitable companies will the advisor expect?

A buyer and a seller are bargaining over the sale of an object. The buyer knows that the seller values the object $0 with a probability of 0.25 and he values it $4 with a probability of 0.75.
