During the past 6 months, Rebecca has been late to work 20 out of 125 days. Also, during that time, she encountered a traffic jam on 25 out of the 125 days. On any given day, the probability that she is late to work AND encounters a traffic jam is 0.35. Based on the information, which of the following can be concluded? A.O The probabilities of Rebecca being late to work and encountering a traffic jam are NOT independent, because 0.16 x 0.2 + 0.35 B.O The probabilities of Rebecca being late to work and encountering a traffic jam ARE independent, because 0.16 + 0.2 + 0.35 c.O The probabilities of Rebecca being late to work and encountering a traffic jam ARE independent, because 0.16 x 0.2 + 0.35. D.O The probabilities of Rebecca being late to work and encountering a traffic jam are NOT independent, because 0.16 +0.2 + 0.35

The probability that I park my car in a garage on Monday is .3. The probability that I park my car in a garage onTuesday is .25. If parking my car in a garage on Tuesday is independent of my parking my car in a garage onMonday, what is the probability that I neither park my car in a garage on Monday nor on Tuesday?
The local weather forecaster predicts that there is a 12% chance of rain on each day next week. Assuming his prediction is accurate and that the chance of rain in a given day does not depend on the chance of rain in a different day, what is the probability it will rain on at least 4 of the days next week?
Events A and B are independent. The probability of eventAA occurring is 0.64. The probability of events AA and BB occurring together is 0.24. What is the probability of event B? Enter your answer, to the nearest thousandth.
The probability that Taylor Swift is Austin’s favorite music artist is .10. The probability that he will go to one of her concerts is .84. However, the probability that he does not like Taylor Swift and will go to a concert (because his wife makes him) is .75. a.) Write down the 3 pieces of information given in terms of probabilities involving event A (Taylor Swift is Austin’s favorite music artist) and event B (Austin will go to a Taylor Swift concert). b.) Summarize the above information using a probability table. c.) Find the probability that Taylor Swift is Austin’s favorite music artist or Austin will go to a Taylor Swift concert.
Is Lucas's first free throw shot independent of his second free throw shot? O The two free throws are dependent on each other. O The two free throws are independent of each other. O It is impossible to tell from the given information whether or not the two free throws independent of each other. What is the probability that Lucas makes both free throws?
The weather in a particular town in the Pacific northwest is classified as either good, indifferent or bad. If the weather is good on a particular day, the probability it will remain good the next day is only 11%, and there is a 45% chance it will be indifferent. If the weather is indifferent on a particular day, there is a 20% chance it will become good, and a 42% chance it will become bad. If the weather is bad on a particular day, there is a 48% chance it will be bad the next day, and a 21% chance it will become indifferent. Construct the stochastic matrix that models this problem.
A jet fighter consists of two engines. The probability that the second engine functions in a satisfactory manner during its design life is 0.97, and the probability that at least one if the two engines does so is 0.975 and the probability that both engine do so is 0.93. Given that the first engine functions in a satisfactory manner throughout its design life, what is the probability that the second one also?
A laboratory blood test is 99 percent effective in detecting a certain disease when it is, in fact, present. However, the test also yields a "false positive" result for 1 percent of the healthy persons tested. (That is, if a healthy person is tested, then, with probability .01, the test result will imply he or she has the disease.) If .5 percent of the population has the disease, what is the probability that a person has the disease given that his test result is positive?
Suppose there is a 11.9% probability that a randomly selected person aged 35 years or older is a jogger. In addition, there is a 15.9% probability that a randomly selected person aged 35 years or older is female, given that he or she jogs. What is the probability that a randomly selected person aged 35 years or older is female and jogs? Would it be unusual to randomly select a person aged 35 years or older who is female and jogs? The probability that a randomly selected person aged 35 years or older is female and jogs is (Round to three decimal places as needed.).
On any given morning here at Chabot College, coffee is brewed in the Science and Math Division workroom by one of two faculty members, depending on who arrives first at work. Instructor Yest arrives first 75% of the time. Instructor Kelly arrives first the remaining mornings. The probability that the coffee is brewed strong when brewed by Instructor Yest is 0.2. The probability that the coffee is brewed strong when brewed by Instructor Kelly is 0.9, as Instructor Kelly likes her coffee strong! Given the coffee is strong on a randomly selected morning, what is the probability that is was brewed by Instructor Yest?
An airline claims that there is a 0.10 probability that a coach-class ticket holder who flies frequently will be upgraded to first class on any flight. This outcome is independent from flight to flight. Sam is a frequent flier who always purchases coach-class tickets. What is the probability that Sam’s first upgrade will occur after the third flight? What is the probability that Sam will be upgraded exactly 2 times in his next 20 flights? Sam will take 104 flights next year. Would you be surprised if Sam receives more than 20 upgrades to first class during the year? Justify your answer.
