A personnel director has two lists of applicants for jobs. List 1 contains the names of five women and two men, whereas list 2 contains the names of two women and six men. A name is randomly selected from list 1 and added to list 2. A name is then randomly selected from the augmented list 2. Given that the name selected is that of a man, what is the probability that a woman’s name was originally selected from list 1?

A study tracked a large group of people for 10 years. At the start of the study, 20% were heavy smokers (H), 30% were light smokers (L), and 50% were non-smokers (N). The interest of the study was whether the people in the study died during the study (D) or not die (Dc ). The probability that a light smoker died during the study was twice that of the probability of a non-smoker dying. Also, the probability that light smoker died during the study was half that of the probability of a heavy smoker dying. A randomly selected person from the study died during the study. What is the probability that this person was a heavy smoker (given they died, what is the probability they were a heavy smoker H)?

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.)
