Consider purchasing a system of audio components consisting of a receiver, a pair of speakers, and a CD player. Let A1 be the event that the receiver functions properly throughout the warranty period, A2 be the event that the speakers function properly throughout the warranty period, and A3 be the event that the CD player functions properly throughout the warranty period. Suppose that these events are (mutually) independent with P(A1) = 0.95, P(A2) = 0.98, and P(A3) = 0.80. (d) What is the probability that only the receiv

Photos and videos have become an important part of the online social experience, with more than half of Internet users posting photos and videos online that they have taken themselves. Let A be the event an Internet user posts photos that he or she has personally taken, and B be the event an Internet user posts videos that he or she has personally taken. Pew Research Center finds that P(A) = 0.52, P(B) = 0.26, and P(A or B) = 0.54. What is the conditional probability that an Internet user posts photos that he or she has personally taken, given that he or she posts videos that he or she has personally taken?

Let A and B be two events such that P(A) = 1/5 While P(A or B) = 1/2. Let P(B) = P. For what values of P are A and B independent?
If A and B are events with P(A)=0.4, P(A OR B)=0.78, and P(A AND B)=0.12, find P(B).
Please answer d and e. P.9.2
If A and B are events with P(A)=0.5, P(A OR B)=0.75, and P(A AND B)=0.05, find P(B).
A rental car company offers two options when a car is rented. A renter can choose to pre-purchase gas or not and can also choose to rent a GPS device or not. Suppose that the events event that gas is pre-purchased event that a GPS is rented are independent with P(A) = 0.20 and P(B) = 0.65. (a) Construct a hypothetical 1,000 table with columns corresponding to whether or not gas is pre-purchased and rows corresponding to whether or not a GPS is rented. B A B= Not B Total A (b) Use the table to find P(A U B). Not A Total 1,000 Give a long-run relative frequency interpretation of this probability. In the long run, % of car renters will pre-purchase gas or rent a GPS, or both.
Consider purchasing a system of audio components consisting of a receiver, a pair of speakers, and a CD player. Let A₁ be the event that the receiver functions properly throughout the warranty period, A₂ be the event that the speakers function properly throughout the warranty period, and A3 be the event that the CD player functions properly throughout the warranty period. Suppose that these events are (mutually) independent with P(A₁) = 0.92, P(A₂) = 0.96, and P(A3) = 0.90. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
