During a study of auto accidents, the Highway Safety Council found that 60 percent of all accidents occur at night, 52 percent are alcohol-related, and 37 percent occur at night and are alcohol-related. (a) What is the probability that an accident was alcohol-related, given that it occurred at night? (b) What is the probability that an accident occurred at night given that it was alcohol-related?

A recent study has shown that approximately 31.6% of Canadians are considered 'supertasters,' or people who experience the sense of taste with greater intensity than average. Consider a sample of 23 Canadians, each of whom are asked to indicate if they are a supertaster or not. Please use this information to answer the following questions.a. Suppose you know that at least 7 of the Canadians sampled are supertasters. What is the probability that exactly 15 of the Canadians sampled are supertasters?Answer:______________Round to at least FOUR digits after the decimal if necessary. b. What is the probability that the 10th Canadian sampled is the sixth person to indicate that they are a supertaster?Answer:______________Do NOT round your answer; give all the decimals.

The 2015 National Vital Statistics Report provides information on how the nearly four million live births that occurred in 2014 broke down by birth order. Choose at random a baby born in the United States in 2014. Baby's birth order Probability mean = 1 2 0.391 0.319 The few babies who were 9th or more in birth order are included in the "8" birth order group.
