From past experience, Christine knows that there is a 52% chance that Dave will not show up and a 42%chance that Mike will not show up. Dave and Mike do not know each other and their decisions can be assumed to be independent.a. What is the probability that both Dave and Mike will show up? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)Probabilityb. What is the probability that at least one of them will show up? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)Probabilityc. What is the probability that neither Dave nor Mike will show up? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)Probability

Jay-Z has applied to both The School of Hard Knocks and The University of OG's. He thinks the probability that The School of Hard Knocks will admit him is 0.4, the probability that The University of OG's will admit him is 0.5, and the probability that both will admit him is 0.2. Creating a Venn Diagram is Helpful. What is the probability that Jay-Z gets into The School of Hard Knocks but not The University of OGʻs?
Three people are running for president of the student council. The polls show James has odds in favour of winning at 2:3, Rebecca has odds in favour at 7:13, and Henry has odds in favour at 1:3.

Wendy needs to get to an airport from a hotel. There is 0.33 chance that she calls a cab, there is 0.11 chance that she gets a Uber. If she cannot get a cab or Uber, she will take a shuttle. If she calls a cab, there is 0.29 chance that she could miss the flight. If she gets a Uber, the chance of missing flight is 0.22. If she takes the shuttle, the chance is 0.28. What is the probability that she misses the flight? (Round your answer to three decimal places)
In automotive repair, experience has shown that a rough - running engine can be attributed to the bad ignition wires 35% of the time, bad spark plugs 80% of the time, and both problems 20% of the time. Suppose a mechanic begins to diagnose the problem by checking the spark plugs first and find them to be bad. Given this information, what is the probability that the wires are also bad?
Ponderosa Paint and Glass carries three brands of paint. A customer wants to buy another gallon of paint to match paint she purchased at the store previously. She can’t recall the brand name and does not wish to return home to find the old can of paint. So, she selects two of the three brands of paint at random and buys them. What is the probability that she matched the paint brand? Her husband also goes to the paint store and fails to remember what brand to buy. So, he also purchases two of the three brands of paint at random. Determine the probability that both the woman and her husband fail to get the correct brand of paint. (Hint: Are the husband’s selections independent of the wife’s selections?)
A company requires all job applicants to undergo drug testing for employment. If the applicant has used drugs the test has a 90% chance of a positive result. If the applicant has not used drugs the test has an 85% chance of a negative result. 4% of all applicants have used drugs.

On Mr. Casper's debate team at Thunderbird High School, 20% of the members are Sophomores, 35% are Juniors and 45% are Seniors. A team member is selected randomly to give the closing argument for the team. If a sophomore gives the closing argument, the team has a probability of 0.25 of winning the debate. If a junior gives the closing argument, the probability of winning is 0.6. If a senior closes, the probability of winning is 0.85. (a) Find the probability that the team wins the debate. b sketch a tree diagram to model this process
On any given morning here at Chabot College, coffee is brewed in the Science and Math Division workroom by one of two faculty members, depending on who arrives first at work. Instructor Yest arrives first 75% of the time. Instructor Kelly arrives first the remaining mornings. The probability that the coffee is brewed strong when brewed by Instructor Yest is 0.2. The probability that the coffee is brewed strong when brewed by Instructor Kelly is 0.9, as Instructor Kelly likes her coffee strong! Given the coffee is strong on a randomly selected morning, what is the probability that is was brewed by Instructor Yest?
You will take either a basket weaving class or a philosophy class, depending on what your advisor decides. You estimate that the probability of getting an A in basket weaving is 0.35 (it is a hard class), while in philosophy your probability of getting an A is 0.84. However, your major is straw construction, and the chance of your advisor choosing the philosophy class is only 40%. What is the probability that you get an A? The probability that you get an A is (Give the exact simplified probability.)
