According to Masterfoods, the company that manufactures M&M’s, 12% of peanut M&M’s are brown, 15% are yellow, 12% are red, 23% are blue, 23% are orange and 15% are green. You randomly select four peanut M&M’s from an extra-large bag of the candies. (Round all probabilities below to four decimal places; i.e. your answer should look like 0.1234, not 0.1234444 or 12.34%.) a. Compute the probability that at least three of the four M&M’s are green. b. If you repeatedly select random samples of four peanut M&M’s, on average how many do you expect to be green? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) c. With what standard deviation? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

When Jack was 7 he liked to do "magic" card tricks with his deck of cards that was missing the two of hearts and the queen of spades. During his "trick" he would ask his sister, Nani (N) to pull out a card and then ask his other sister, Abby (A) to pull out a card. Each of the questions below are individual "magic" tricks and start with the "full" deck each time. All probabilities should be in fraction form and completely reduced. 2pts What is the probability Nani pulls a black card or a king? 2pts 2pts If Nani holds her card while Abby pulls hers, what is the probability Abby pulls out a heart if Nani pulls out a heart? If Nani holds her card while Abby pulls hers, what is the probability they both pull out a spade? hp whp

A firm making production plans believes there is a 30% probability the price will be $10, a 50% probability the price will be $15, and a 20% probability the price will be $20. The manager must decide whether to produce 6,000 units of output (A), 8,000 units (B) or 10,000 units (C). The following table shows 9 possible outcomes depending on the output chosen and the actual price. Production Profit (Loss) when price is $10 $15 $20 6,000 (A) −$200 $400 $1,000 8,000 (B) −$400 $600 $1,600 10,000 (C) −$1,000 $800 $3,000 What is the variance if 6,000 units are produced?

Clue is a board game in which you must deduce three details surrounding a murder. In the original game of Clue, the guilty person can be chosen from 66 people, and there are 66 different possible weapons and 99 possible rooms. At one point in the game, you have narrowed the possibilities down to 33 people, 55 weapons, and 44 rooms. What is the probability of making a random guess of the guilty person, murder weapon, and location from your narrowed-down choices, and the guess being correct? Enter a fraction or round your answer to 44 decimal places, if necessary.
