Fred and his daughter, Delia, support their town's rugby team. The probability that Fred watches a game is 0.8. The probability that Delia watches a game is 0.9 when her father watches the game, and is 0.4 when her father does not watch the game. (a) Calculate the probability that: (I)both Fred and Delia watch a particular game (II) neither Fred nor Delia watch a particular game.

During class we found the probability of having as a hand the ”Royal Flush”. However, other pairs also exist in poker: Two-pair: Two cards have one rank, two cards have another rank, and the remaining card has a third rank. e.g. 2♥, 2♠, 5♥, 5♣, ��♦ Three-of-a-kind: Three cards have one rank and the remaining two cards have two other ranks. e.g. 2♥, 2♠, 2♣, 5♣, ��♦ Calculate the probability of each type of hand. Which is more likely
Insurance: An insurance company sells a 1-year term life insurance policy to an 79-year-old woman. The woman pays a premium of $1800. If she dies within 1 year, the company will pay $39,000 to her beneficiary. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the probability that an 79-year-old woman will be alive 1 year later is 0.9561. Let X be the profit made by the insurance company. Part 1 of 2 (a) Find the probability distribution. The probability distribution is X -37200 1800 P(x) 0.0439 0.9561 Alternate Answer: X P(x) Part: 1 / 2 Part 2 of 2 - 37,200 1800 0.0439 0.9561 (b) Find the expected value of the profit. Expected value of the profit is S X 00

Insurance: An insurance company sells a 1-year term life insurance policy to an 80-year-old woman. The woman pays a premium of $4000. If she dies within 1 year, the company will pay $53,000 to her beneficiary. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the probability that an 80-year-old woman will be alive 1 year later is 0.9259. Let X be the profit made by the insurance company.

Jeri is listening to the songs on a new CD in random order. She will listen to two different songs, and will buy the CD if she likes both of them. Assume that there are 10 songs on the CD and that she would like 5 of them. Before she had listened to any of the songs on the CD, what would have been the probability that she would buy the CD? Hint: To find this probability, first find the number of combinations of 2 out of the 5 songs that she likes (how many different combinations of 2 out of the 5 songs are there?). Then find the number of combinations of 2 out of the 10 songs on the CD (how many different combinations of 2 songs can she pick from the CD?). Take the number of combinations of the 5 songs she likes and divide that by the number of combinations of the 10 songs.. Question 7 options: A. 10/45 or 22% B. 10/120 or 8.3% C. 4/9 or 44% D. 45/10 or 450%
Insurance: An insurance company sells a 1-year term life insurance policy to an 84-year-old woman. The woman pays a premium of $1400. If she dies within 1 year, the company will pay $46,000 to her beneficiary. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the probability that an 84-year-old woman will be alive 1 year later is 0.9714. Let X be the profit made by the insurance company. Part: 0 / 2 Part 1 of 2 (a) Find the probability distribution. The probability distribution is x 1400 X P(x)
