1. Some article studied the probability of death due to burn injuries. The identified risk factors in this study are age greater than 60 years, burn injury in more than 40% of body-surface area, and presence of inhalation injury. It is estimated that the probability of death is 0.003, 0.03, 0.33, or 0.90, if the injured person has zero, one, two, or three risk factors, respectively. Suppose that three people are injured in a fire and treated independently. Among these three people, two people have one risk factor and one person has three risk factors. Let the random variable X denote number of deaths in this fire. Determine the probability mass function of X.
According to TMUSS Quarterly (Totally Made-Up Sports Statistics) April 2017, the probability that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will score a touchdown on their opening drive is 0.26. The probability that their defense will have 3 or more sacks in the game is 0.17. The probability that the Bucs will both score a touchdown on their opening drive and have 3 or more sacks in the game is 0.05. What is the probability that they will either score a touchdown on the opening drive or have 3 or more sacks in the game? Answer in decimal form. Round to two decimal places as needed.

At a bakery, a customer with a purchase amount of under $20 has a probability of 0.35 of using a credit card for the purchase, while a customer with a purchase amount of $20 or over has a probability of 0.6 of using a credit card for the purchase. Data shows that 80 % of purchases at the bakery are under $20. Given that a customer uses a credit card for a purchase, find the probability that the purchase amount was $20 or over. Give the probability as a decimal, and if rounding give to 4 decimal places.

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? Thought Question: Where would the…
