At the carnival, we found a bean bag toss booth. There's a 0.62 probability of throwing the bean bag into the outer ring, a 0.19 probability of throwing it into the middle ring, and the remaining probability throwing it into the center of the target. Tickets are awarded depending on which ring the bean bag lands in. We get 1 ticket for the outer ring, 2 tickets for the middle ring, and 3 tickets for the center. What is the expected value (number of tickets) we will get if we play the game 10 times? Outer Ring Middle Ring Center Ring Probability 0.62 0.19 Tickets 1 2 3

If a company is headed for a decline, there is a 74% chance that this ratio will be negative. If the company is not headed for a decline, there is only a 20% chance that the ratio will be negative.

A gas station has three grades of fuel, regular, premium and diesel. Due to problems with the supply chain, the probabilities that the station will run out of any three fuel types in a week are 0.10, 0.16 and 0.24, respectively. These probabilities are statistically independent. Also, if there is a shortage of diesel, the probability of a shortage of premium becomes 0.25. 1. How likely is the station to run out of all three fuels in a given week? 2. What is the probability that if regular runs out, both premium and diesel will also run out? 3. What is the probability that the station will run out of at least one of either premium and diesel? 4. What is the probability that the station will run out of at least 2 of the fuels in a week?
