Heart failure is due to either natural occurrences (81%) or outside factors (19%). Outside factors are related to induced substances or foreign objects. Natural occurrences are caused by arterial blockage, disease, and infection. Assume that causes of heart failure between individuals are independent. (a) What is the probability that the 1st patient with heart failure that enters the emergency room has the condition due to outside factors? (b) What is the probability that the 3rd patient with heart failure that enters the emergency room is the first one due to outside factors? (c) What is the mean number of heart failure patients with the condition due to natural causes that enter the emergency room until the 1st patient with heart failure from outside factors? (a) i Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76). (b) i Round your answer to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765). (c) i Round to the nearest integer.

A survey of athletes at a high school is conducted, and the following facts are discovered: 19% of the athletes are football players, 28% are basketball players, and 2% of the athletes play both football and basketball. An athlete is chosen at random from the high school: what is the probability that he is either a football player or a basketball player? Probability = % (Please enter your answer as a percentage)

In a large metropolitan city, the probabilities associated with the number of homicides on any given day are as follows: P(0 homicides)=0.40 P(1 homicide) = 0.25 P(2 homicides) = 0.20 P(3 homicides)= 0.15 In On a randomly selected day, what is the probability of at least one homicide? In What is the probability of no homicides on both of 2 randomly selected days? In What is the probability of at least one homicide in 3 randomly selected days?

One student is selected at random from a group of 200 known to consist of 140 full-time (80 female and 60 male) student and 60 part-time (40 female and 20 male) students. Event A is "the student selected is full-time" and event C is "the student selected is female". (a) Are events A and C independent? (b) Find the probability of one student selected is full-time, that should be female.
You have booked a flight for tomorrow, but now there are some risks that it might be cancelled due to two factors: typhoon and strike. Your estimate on flight cancellation due to the weather, i.e. typhoon, is 20%. Independently, the probability of cancellation due to strike is 50%. a) What is the probability that there will be a flight cancellation due to one or both of the factors? b) How unpredictable is it that the flight is cancelled, either due to the weather or the strike (or both)? Answer in terms of Entropy, measured in bits. c) You realized that you can find out on the airport website tomorrow morning if there will be a strike or not (which we can assume reliable). What is the expected information gain from checking it on the website
A pathogen affects 1 person out of every 100 people. Suppose you come into contact with 40 randomly selected people in one day? 1. What is the probability that at least one of these 40 people is infected? 2. What is the probability that at least 2 out of the 40 randomly selected people are affected?
Suppose Nate wins 25% of all thumb wars. (a) What is the probability that Nate wins two thumb wars in a row? (b) What is the probability that Nate wins three thumb wars in a row? (c) When events are independent, their complements are independent as well. Use this result to determine the probability that Nate wins three thumb wars in a row, but does not win four in a row. (a) The probability that Nate wins two thumb wars in a row is 0.0625 (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (b) The probability that Nate wins three thumb wars in a row is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (c) The probability that Nate wins three thumb wars in a row, but does not win four in a row is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Suppose one NBA player can get one point in each free shot with probability 0.8. Now he has five times of free shots and it is reasonable to assume that the result in each shot has no impact on other shots. (b) What is the probability of his getting 3 points?(c) What is the probability of his getting at least 2 points?(d) we define an unusual event if the chance of the event is below 5%. Is it an unusual event that he lost all his shots? please explain each step fully

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes data on the benefits offered by small companies to their employees. Supposed 42% offer retirement plans, and 61% offer life insurance. Further, suppose that if they offer life insurance, the probability they also offer retirement plans is 0.54. (a) Find the probability they do offer life insurance and do not offer a retirement plan. (b) If they do not offer life insurance, what is the probability they offer a retirement plan? (c) Find the probability they offer exactly one of the benefits (not both).
