There are three modes of transporting material from Boston to Houston: by land (either by highway or railway), seaor air. Half of the materials are transported by land20% by sea, and the rest by air. Also, 60% of all land transportation is by highway and the rest is by rail shipments.Cargo traveling by each mode of transportation has a different probability of being damaged during shipment. The percentages of damaged cargo are as follows: 12% by highway, 3% by rail, 5% by seaand 2% by airIf a damaged cargo is received, what is the probability that it was shipped by sea?
In the current first-year class of a community college, all the students come from three local high schools. Schools I, II, and III supply respectively 30%, 40%, and 30% of the students. The failure rate of students is 4%, 3%, and 6%, respectively. Given that a student passes, what is the probability that he or she came from school I?
A regional automobile dealership sent out fliers to prospective customers indicating that they had already won one of three different prizes: an automobile valued at $30,000, a $125 gas card, or a $5 shopping card. To claim his or her prize, a prospective customer needed to present the flier at the dealership's showroom. The fine print on the back of the flier listed the probabilities of winning. The chance of winning the car was 1 out of 31,729, the chance of winning the gas card was 1 out of 31,729, and the chance of winning the shopping card was 31,727 out of 31,729. Complete parts (a) through (d). a. How many fliers do you think the automobile dealership sent out? Assume there is one car and one gas card available. 31729 fliers C b. Using your answer to (a) and the probabilities listed on the flier, what is the expected value of the prize won by a prospective customer receiving a flier? H=$5.95 (Round to the nearest cent as needed.) c. Using your answer to (a) and the probabilities…
At the Washington University 35%, 25% and 40% of the students in Calculus are taught by Prof. A, Prof. B and Prof. C, respectively. The respective probabilities of failing in Calculus for the three professors are 6%, 7% and 5%. A student in Calculus in the previous semester was randomly selected and was found out to have failed in the subject. Under which class most likely did he belong?
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?)
The three most popular options on a certain type of new car are a built-in GPS (A), a sunroof (B), and an automatic transmission (C). If 36% of all purchasers request A, 47% request B, 69% request C, 54% request A or B, 75% request A or C, 76% request B or C, and 78% request A or B or C, determine the probabilities of the following events. [Hint: "A or B" is the event that at least one of the two options is requested; try drawing a Venn diagram and labeling all regions.] (a) The next purchaser will request at least one of the three options. (b) The next purchaser will select none of the three options. (c) The next purchaser will request only an automatic transmission and not either of the other two options. (d) The next purchaser will select exactly one of these three options.

Juan incorrectly fills 5% of the orders he takes. Alex fills 30% of all orders, Natasha fills 45% of all orders, and Juan fills 25% of all orders. An order has just been filled. A. If the order was filled by Juan, what is the probability that it was filled correctly? B. Who filled the order is unknown, but the order was filled incorrectly. What are the revised probabilities that Alex, Natasha, or Juan filled the order? C. Who filled the order is unknown, but the order was filled correctly. What are the revised probabilities that Alex, Natasha, or Juan filled the order?
The accidents that occur in a manufacturing company were classified by severity (strong, moderate and mild) and by sex with the following characteristics: 40% of the accidents were strong and 30% were moderate. Women suffered 20% of the accidents. Of the total number of serious accidents, men suffered 85.5% of the accidents. Similarly, of the total moderate accidents, women suffered 45% of the accidents. Calculate the following probabilities:- If a woman suffered an accident, what is the probability that it was minor?- If a man suffered an accident, what is the probability that he is strong?
You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. Money reports that the average annual cost of the first year of owning and caring for a large dog in 2017 is $1,448. The Irish Red and White Setter Association of America has requested a study to estimate the annual first-year cost for owners of this breed. A sample of 50 will be used.
