4. An oil exploration company currently has two active projects, one in Asia and the other in Europe.Let A be the event that the Asian project is successful, and B be the event that the European projectis successful. Suppose that A and B are independent events with P(A) = 0.40 and P(B) = 0.70.a. If the Asian project is not successful, what is the probability that the European project is alsonot successful?b. What is the probability that at least one of the two projects will be successful?

It is given that P(A) = 0.40, P(A’) = 1 - P(A) = 0.60 P(B) = 0.70, P(B’) = 1 - 0.70 = 0.30

Answered: a. If the Asian project is not…

A major traffic problem in Baguio City can be seen in the intersection of Abanao and Maharlika. Let us assume that the probability of no traffic delay in one period, given no traffic delay in the preceding period, is 0.85 and that the probability of finding a traffic delay in one period, given a delay in the preceding period, is 0.75. Traffic is classified as having either a delay or a no-delay state, and the period considered is 30 minutes. Draw the transition diagram in 2 periods. (TREE DIAGRAM)
