His shots are all independent of one another and his probability of hitting the bullseye remains fixed at 25%. ( i ) What is the probability that he requires five shots to hit the bullseye once? ( ii ) What is the probability that he requires five shots to hit the bullseye twice? ( iii ) What is the probability that he hits the bullseye twice in five shots? (iv) What is the probability that he gets his second bullseye on his fifth shot given that he got his first bullseye on his first shot?

The probability of afternoon rain given morning cloud cover >50% is of interest to those forecasting the weather. You can calculate this probability using Bayes' Theorem (below). The probability of morning cloud cover in general is 30% in the area you are concerned with and when there's afternoon rain, morning cloud cover of the kind described above occurs 90% of the time. The probability of rain in general for the area is about 26% of days. From the above information, identify what P(BIA) would be. Express your answer as a proportion, rounded to two decimal places. P(A/B)= = P(B|A)*P(A) P(B)
You are enrolled in MBA 440. At the beginning of the semester, you used your hunch to estimate the likelihood of passing this class. Let P be the event of passing the class; F is the event of failing the class. Your prior probabilities are as follows: P(P)=0.7 P(F)=0.3 After the first week of class, you find out that you have failed the first assignment. Let A1 be the event of passing the first assignment; let A2 be the event of failing the first assignment. Now you feel you need to update your belief about the likelihood of passing this class. You talk to your Professor and she tells you that given someone has passed the class, the probability of passing the first assignment is 0.8, i.e. P(A1|P)=0.8. She also gives you the following conditional probabilities: P(A2|P)=0.2; P(A1|F)=0.3 and P(A2|F)=0.7. What is the posterior probability that you will pass this class given that you have failed the first assignment?

A disease affects 1 out of 10,000 people. There is a test to check whether a person has the disease. The test is accurate. In particular, we know the following: (a) The probability that the test result is positive given that the person does not have the disease, is only 2 percent. (b) The probability that the test result is negative given that the person has the disease, is only 1 percent. Question: A random person gets tested for the disease and the result comes back positive. What is the probability that the person has the disease?
