An important part of the customer service responsibilities of a telephone company relates to the speed with which troubles in residential service can be repaired. Suppose past data indicate that the likelihood is 0.70 that troubles in residential service can be repaired on the same day. For the first five troubles reported on a given day, what is the probability that at least three will be repaired on the same day?

Suppose that 20.56% of all vehicles on the road get a fuel economy of at least 35 miles per gallon (MPG). You conduct an observational study on a stretch of road outside of campus and record the make and model of 727 vehicles over a month long period. What is the probability that greater than 21.1% of the cars you observed get at least 35 MPG? (please show how to plug this into a scientific calculator) Question 4 options: 1) 0.3593 2) 0.5000 3) <0.0001 4) -23.9437 5) 0.6407
The problem involves empirical probability. The table shows the breakdown of 87 thousand single parents on active duty in the U.S. military in a certain year. All numbers are in thousands and rounded to the nearest thousand. Use the data in the table to find the probability that a randomly selected single parent in the U.S. military is in the army.

In a certain year, the probability that a person in the United States would declare personal bankruptcy was 0.007. The probability that a person in the United States would declare personal bankruptcy and had recently experienced a "big three" event (loss of job, medical problem, or divorce or separation) was 0.004. What was the probability that a person had recently experienced one of the "big three" events, given that she had declared personal bankruptcy? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Consider records of a company’s account balances. Twenty percent contain errors. Of those balance in errors, 80% are regarded as unusual values based on historical figures. Of all the account balances, 25% were unusual values. If the figure for a particular balance appears unusual on this basis, what is the probability that it is in error?
