A city uses three pumps to carry water from a river to a reservoir. Pumps A and B are new, and have a probability of failing of 0.015 on any day. Pump C is older, and has a probability of failure of 0.08 on any day. Pumps A and B operate Monday-Friday. On Saturday, pumps A and C operate while pump B is serviced. On Sunday, pumps B and C operate while pump A is serviced. Answer the following questions, assuming that the pumps operate independently of one another, and independently from day to day. Determine the probability that pump A works on a day that it is in use. Find the probability that pumps A and B both fail on a day they are both in use. Compute the probability that at least one pump fails on any Sunday. Find the probability that pump A works, and C fails on any Saturday. Determine the probability that no pumps fail in a week.

A company offers guided tours of remote areas of the world. Each tour consists of 20 people. The probability of selling a ticket for any given spot on the tour is 0.86. The costs to the company are approximately the same regardless of the number of people that show up. To offset the risk associated with a tour not filling up, the company purchases a specialized insurance policy. The policy pays 100 for each ticket that is left unsold, up to a maximum of 400. Let P be the amount that the insurance policy pays to the company for a specific tour. Calculate E[P] to the nearest dollar. O 251 O244 O 259 O 267 275
