An analyst is presented with lists of 4 stocks and 5 bonds. He is asked to predict, in order, the 2 stocks that will yield the highest return over the next year and the 2 bonds that will have the highest return over the next year. Suppose that these predictions are made randomly and independently of each other. What is the probability that the analyst will be successful in at least 1 of the 2 tasks?

Factories A, B and C produce computers. Factory A produces 4 times as many computers as factory C, and factory B produces 6 times as many computers as factory C. The probability that a computer produced by factory A is defective is 0.038, the probability that a computer produced by factory B is defective is 0.035, and the probability that a computer produced by factory C is defective is 0.047. A computer is selected at random and it is found to be defective. What is the probability it came from factory B? Answer:

There are three containers, A, B and C. Each container contains 25 balls, which are either red or blue. Container A has 15 red balls, container B has 16 red balls, and container C has 12 red balls. In a random experiment, one first randomly chooses a container, and then a ball is drawn from the chosen container. The probability of choosing container B in step 1 is 2/5 . The experiment is designed so that the events “the ball drawn is red” and “the ball drawn comes from container A” are independent. Suppose that the ball drawn is red. What is the probability that it came from container C?
