An investment counselor calls with a hot stock tip. He believes that if the economy remains strong, the investment will result in a profit of $40,000. If the economy grows at a moderate pace, the investment will result in a profit of $10,000. However, if the economy goes into recession, the investment will result in a loss of $40,000. You contact an economist who believes there is a 20% probability the economy will remain strong, a 70% probability the economy will grow at a moderate pace, and a 10% probability the economy will slip into recession. What is the expected profit from this investment?

1. Researchers are interested in the relationship between vaping and upper respiratory infections. Suppose that 15% of their population of interest has vaped in the past year and 25% have had an upper respiratory infection in the past year. In addition, they know that 10% have both vaped and had an upper respiratory infection in the past year. What percent of the population has neither vaped nor had an upper respiratory infection in the past year? b. What is the probability of having an upper respiratory infection in the past year given that the person has vaped in the past year? What is the complement of the event in part b)? Be sure to interpret this probability in the context of the problem. a. C. d. What is the probability of having an upper respiratory infection in the past year given that the person has not vaped in the past year? Are the two events independent? Be sure to justify your answer. Based on your calculations what can you conclude about the relationship between vaping…
