According to the Chronicles of Contrived Statistics (March, 2016), the probability that scientists from Area 51 will begin selling pet aliens in the next month is 37%. The probability that either Elon Musk will offer you a free trip to space or that scientists will begin sales of pet aliens next month is 44%. Finally, they list that probability of both happening in the next month is 22%. What is the probability that Elon Musk will offer you a free trip into space in the next month?

In women’s tennis, a player must win 2 out of 3 sets to win a match. If a player wins the first 2 sets, she wins the match and the third set is not played. Player V and Player M will compete in a match. Player V and Player M have competed against each other many times. Historical data show that each player is equally likely to win the first set. If Player V wins the first set, the probability that she will win the second set is 0.60. If Player V loses the first set, the probability that she will lose the second set is 0.70. If Player V wins exactly one of the first two sets, the probability that she will win the third set is 0.45. What is the probability that Player V will win a match against Player M?
In a population of 10,000, there are 5000 nonsmokers, 2500 smokers of one pack or less per day, and 2500 smokers of more than one pack per day. During any month, there is a 5% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking a pack or less per day, and a 4% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke a pack or less per day, there is a 10% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of increasing to more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke more than a pack per day, there is a 9% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of dropping to a pack or less per day. How many people will be in each group in 1 month, in 2 months, and in 1 year? (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)(a) in 1 month:nonsmokers:1 pack/day or less:more than 1 pack/day:(b) in 2 months:nonsmokers:1 pack/day or less:more than 1 pack/day:(c) in 1 year:nonsmokers:1 pack/day or less:more than 1 pack/day:
The weather in Columbus is either good, indifferent, or bad on any given day. If the weather is good today, there is a 40% chance it will be good tomorrow, a 30% chance it will be indifferent, and a 30% chance it will be bad. If the weather is indifferent today, there is a 50% chance it will be good tomorrow, and a 20% chance it will be indifferent. Finally, if the weather is bad today, there is a 10% chance it will be good tomorrow and a 30% chance it will be indifferent. a. What is the stochastic matrix, P, for this situation? b. Suppose there is a 10% chance of good weather today and a 90% chance of indifferent weather. What are the chances of bad weather tomorrow? c. Suppose the predicted weather for Monday is 40% indifferent weather and 60% bad weather. What are the chances for good weather on Wednesday? a. Create the stochastic matrix, P, where G is good, I is indifferent, and B is Bad. From: GIB a (Simplify your answers.) To: G
