considering that 61.4% of the population voted in the 2016 elections of a total of 200 million people. the candidates (A) and (B) are trying to collect as much votes as possible, candidate (A) is a part of the democratic party and (B) is a Republican. considering that 49% of the population identified with the democratic party while only 29% are identified with the republican party. so using probability equations, which candidate is more likely to win the elections and what is the percentage of that candidate winning?

In a town, there are three bridges: Bridge A, Bridge B, and Bridge C. On any given day, the probability of each bridge being open for passage is as follows: P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.3, and P(C) = 0.5. If a resident needs to cross all three bridges in succession, what is the probability of successfully crossing all three bridges without encountering any closures?
A PC manufacturer buys 38% of its chips from Japan, and the rest from the US. Of the Japanese chips, 1.7% are defective; meanwhile, 1.1% of the American chips are defective. Find the probability that a chip is defective.
A company buys microchips from three suppliers I, II and III. Supplier I has a record of providing microchips that contain 10% defective; supplier a defective rate of 5% and supplier III has a defective rate of 3%. Suppose 10%, 40% and 50% of the current supply came from suppliers I, II and III, respectively. If a randomly selected microchip is defective, what is the probability that it came from supplier II?

In 2013, the total sales from 3 different car production companies was 606,334 cars or light trucks. The probability that the vehicle was made by Company A was 0.386, by Company B 0.350, and by Company C 0.258. Additionally, the probability that a Company A vehicle sold was a car was 0.379, a Company B vehicle sold was a car was 0.370, and a Company C vehicle sold was a car was 0.332. Given the vehicle sold was a car, find the probability it was made by Company A. The probability a vehicle was made by Company A, given it was a car is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
