Here are three lotteries played by three individuals that cost $100. Could you tell whether they are risk-neutral, risk-seeking(loving) or risk-averse? the percentages in () are the probabilities associated with the events. 1)Win (50%): gets $180, lose (50%): gets $40; 2)Win (50%): gets $160, lose (50%): $0; 3)Win (20%): gets $300, lose (80%): gets $50. which one of these individuals are more likely to pursue entrepreneurship? Briefly explain why.

A game-show spinner has these odds of stopping on particular dollar values: 55% for $5, 20% for $50, 15% for $500, and 10% for $1000. What are the odds of a player winning $500 or $1000?
In the game show “Deal or no Deal?”, a contestant must first choose 5 boxes out of 22 to be opened. Each box contains a different amount of money. Once a box has been opened, its contents can no longer be won. For each question, explain your reasoning carefully: (a) What is the probability that the contestant chooses the most valuable box? (b) What is the probability that the contestant chooses at least one of the top 5 most valuable boxes
Find the complement of each of the given probabilities:The complement of P(A) = 4%: = %The complement of P(~A) = 1%: = %The complement of P(A|B) = 99%: = %The complement of P(A|~B) = 43%: = %The complement of P(~A|~B) = 97%: = %
In a survey of readers of a US Weekly magazine a question was asked, “Which do you prefer: Facebook or Twitter?” There were 362 responses from females and 216 responses from males. 281 females and 98 males stated they prefer Facebook. Use proper notation to state the probabilities. (a) Create a two-way table to organize the responses to the survey. Determine the totals of the rows and columns. (b) Define events F: the survey response was from a female and T: the survey response was from a person who preferred Twitter. Create a Venn Diagram to organize the responses to the survey. (c) What is the probability that a randomly selected reader is female and prefers Twitter? (d) Of the respondents who prefer Twitter, what is the probability that the respondent is female? (e) Suppose a female reader is selected at random, what it the probability that she prefers Twitter? (f) Are the events being female and preferring Twitter independent? (g) Are the events being female and preferring…
A game-show spinner has these odds of stopping on particular dollar values: 40% for $50, 25% for $100, 20% for $500, and 15% for $1000. What are the odds of a player winning $50 or $100?
A bar offers alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. They have 12 alcoholic beverages that cost $10 or more, and 5 alcoholic beverages that cost less than $10. They also have 5 non-alcoholic beverages that cost $10 or more, and 10 non-alcoholic beverages that cost less than $10. Suppose I choose a drink at random from the menu. What is the chance that it is alcoholic, given that costs $10 or more? Choose the answer that is closest. Group of answer choices 70.6% 33.33% 37.5% 20.5%

A student takes a multiple-choice quiz with 5 questions, each with four possible answers and only oneof them is correct. A passing grade is 60% or better (i.e., answering at least 3 of 5 questions correctly).Suppose that the student was unable to find time to study for the exam and just guesses at eachquestion. Find the probabilities for the two events below.i. the student gets exactly 3 questions correct.ii. the student passes the exam
Example 2.17 Of the voters in a city, 40% are Republicans and 60% are Democrats. Among the Republicans 70% are in favor of a bond issue, whereas 80% of the Democrats favor the issue. If a voter is selected at random in the city, what is the probability that he or she favor the bond issue?
