For each of these problems, you need to a) translate each sentence into probability notation, then b) determine if the specified events are independent. You must show work for independence. 1. The probability that a person plays on a high school basketball team is .031. The probability that a person plays on a high school baseball team is .04. The probability that a person plays on a high school baseball team and a high school basketball team is .017. Determine if the events "plays on a high school basketball team" and "plays on a high school baseball team" are independent events. 2. The probability that a person likes the superhero Iron Man is .46. The probability that a person likes the superhero Captain America is .58.

You purchase a brand new car for $15,000 and insure it. The policy pays 78% of the car's value if there is an issue with the engine or 30% of the car's value if there is an issue with the speaker system. The probability of an issue with the engine is 0.009, and the probability there is an issue with the speaker system is 0.02. The premium for the policy is p. Let X be the insurance company's net gain from this policy. (a) Create a probability distribution for X, using p to represent the premium on the policy. Enter the possible values of X in ascending order from left to right. P(X) (b) Compute the minimum amount the insurance company will charge for this policy. Round your answer to the nearest cent

Suppose there are exactly three states of weather: sunny, cloudy, or rainy. If it is sunny today, then the probability is 3/4 that it will be sunny tomorrow, 1/8 that it will be cloudy tomorrow, and 1/8 that it will be rainy. If it is cloudy today, then the probability is 1/2 that it will be sunny tomorrow, 1/4 that it will be cloudy tomorrow, and 1/4 that it will be rainy. If it is rainy today, then the probability is 1/4 that it will be sunny tomorrow, 1/2 that it will be cloudy tomorrow, and 1/4 that it will be rainy. cloudy is From this Markov model, for any given day the probability that it will be sunny is rainy is Round your answers to three decimal places. and

What is the probability that the number will be divisible by 5 given that the number is even? b.In CSE230, there were 2 assignments this semester. The probabilities that you would get full marks in the first and second assignments are 0.32 and 0.41 respectively. Now, if you get full marks in the first assignment that makes your probability of getting full marks in the second assignment as 0.53. What is the probability of getting full marks in the first assignment given that you got full marks in the second assignment?
