*An actuary is studying the prevalence of three health risk factors, denoted by A, B, and C, within a population of women. For each of the three factors, the probability is 0.1 that a woman in the population has only this risk factor (and no others). For any two of the three factors, the probability is 0.12 that she has exactly these two risk factors (but not the other). The probability that a woman has all three risk factors, given that she has A and B, is 1/3. What is the probability that a woman has none of the three risk factors, given that she does not have risk factor A ? (0.467)

If a household has at least one cat, there is a 30% probability that the household has at least one dog. Thirty percent of households have at least one cat and 33% of households have at least one dog. Given that a household has at least one dog, the probability that the same household has at least one cat is ________.
At a certain large company, the floor manager reviewing inventory and production. She ultimately comes to the decision that a product should be continued if it sold 150,000 times over the previous year. In addition, the product is considered “popular” if it receives at least 100 mentions by the local press over the past year. An analyst is hired to help with the analysis. The analyst determines that the probability of sales exceeding 150,000 was 0.331, the probability of 100 or more mentions was 0.162, and the probability that a product both sold 150,000 items, and was also ‘popular’ is 0.064. What is the probability that a randomly selected product either sold the requisite 150,000 items, or that it is ‘popular’? Again, phrase your answers in terms of probability variables (e.g. P(X) = ..., P(Y)=... etc.) If we are told that an item has indeed reached the threshold of 100 mentions in the press, what is the probability of it selling 150,000 times?
