Every morning a math instructor picks out two socks completely at random from his closet; there's only a 20% chance they match. If they don't match there is a 60% chance his students will laugh at him, while if his socks do match there is only a 10% chance of his students laughing at him. On a given day, what is the probability that his students laugh at him?

A friend who works in a big city owns two cars, one small and one large. One-quarter of the time he drives the small car to work, and three-quarters of the time he takes the large car. If he takes the small car, he usually has little trouble parking and so is at work on time with probability 0.7. If he takes the large car, he is on time to work with probability 0.5. Given that he was at work on time on a particular morning, what is the probability that he drove the small car? (Give the answer to three decimal places.)
You are running a race, where you will run from one end of a 100 meters long field to another. In between, there are two hurdles you need to jump. One hurdle is 20 meters from the starting end, and the other hurdle is 50 meters from the starting end. You can jump the first hurdle on any given try with probability 0.8. You can jump the second hurdle on any given try with probability 0.6. It takes you 1 second per meter of running. So if you succeeded in jumping both hurdles you would make it in 100 seconds. Any time you don’t successfully jump a hurdle you start over. What is the expected time it takes you to finish the race? (Hint: Condition on what happens in your first attempt at running the race)
