A purchasing office is to assign a contract for computer paper and a contractor for microcomputer disks to any one of three firms bidding for these contracts. (Any one firm could receive both contracts.) Find the probability that a. Firm I received a contract given that both contracts do not go the same firm. b. Firm I receives both contracts. c. Firm I receive the contract for paper given that it does not receive the contract for disks. What assumptions have you made?

You purchase a brand new car for $15,000 and insure it. The policy pays 78% of the car's value if there is an issue with the engine or 30% of the car's value if there is an issue with the speaker system. The probability of an issue with the engine is 0.009, and the probability there is an issue with the speaker system is 0.02. The premium for the policy is p. Let X be the insurance company's net gain from this policy. (a) Create a probability distribution for X, using p to represent the premium on the policy. Enter the possible values of X in ascending order from left to right. P(X) (b) Compute the minimum amount the insurance company will charge for this policy. Round your answer to the nearest cent
