Maggie is practicing her penalty kicks for her upcoming soccer game. During the practice, she attempts 10 penalty kicks. If each attempt at the penalty kick is independent of the other attempts and if she scores 75% of the time, historically, what is the probability that she scores at least eight goals? Give your answer as a percentage precise to two decimal places.
In a certain year, the probability that a stock was in the Information Technology sector was 0.1353. The probability that the stock had a dividend yield of 2.00% or higher given that it was in the Information Technology sector was 0.2988. The probability that a stock had a dividend yield of 2.00% or higher given that it was not in the Information Technology sector was 0.4469. Find the probability that the stock was in the Information Technology sector given that it had a dividend yield of 2.00% or higher. Let F be the event that a stock was in the Information Technology sector and E be the event that a stock had a dividend yield of 2.00% or higher. P(F)= and P P (F') =

Ashley’s Internet service is terribly unreliable. In fact, on any given day, there is a 75% chance that her Internet connection will be lost at some point that day. What is the probability that her Internet service is not broken for five days in a row? Enter a fraction or round your answer to 4 decimal places, if necessary.
Ashley’s Internet service is terribly unreliable. In fact, on any given day, there is a 60% chance that her Internet connection will be lost at some point that day. What is the probability that her Internet service is not broken for seven days in a row? Enter a fraction or round your answer to 4 decimal places, if necessary.
A certain insecticide kills 70% of all insects in laboratory experiments. A sample of 14 insects is exposed to the insecticide in a particular experiment. What is the probability that exactly 10 insects will die? Round your answer to four decimal places.
Suppose you pay $500 per year to insure your car worth $10,000. The probability that you get in an accident, totaling the car, in any year is 0.001. Find your expected value of the insurance. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. Hint: if you get in the accident you will be paid $10,000. However, you already paid the $500, so you must use the net of $9,500.
An insurance policy on an electrical device pays a benefit of $2400 if the device fails during the first year. The amount of the benefit decreases by $800 each successive year until it reaches 0 . If the device has not failed by the beginning of any given year, the probability of failure during that year is 0.29.Find the expected benefit under this policy.
