In a certain year, 23.2% of all light vehicles were light trucks, 7.0% were SUVs, and 69.8% were cars. The probability that a severe side-impact crash would prove deadly to a driver depended on the type of vehicle he or she was driving at the time, as shown in the table.

The percentage of mechanical-, civil-, aeronautical-, industrial-, and chemical-engineer- ing students in the course, Engineering Mathematics, is, respectively, 25, 20, 15, 22, and 18. The probability of a mechanical-, civil-, aeronautical-, industrial-, and chemical-en- gineering students getting the grade A is 0.7, 0.6, 0.8, 0.5, and 0.65, respectively. If a student chosen at random at the end of the semester earned an A in the course, find the probability of the student belonging to mechanical engineering.

A recent study has shown that approximately 31.6% of Canadians are considered 'supertasters,' or people who experience the sense of taste with greater intensity than average. Consider a sample of 23 Canadians, each of whom are asked to indicate if they are a supertaster or not. Please use this information to answer the following questions.a. Suppose you know that at least 7 of the Canadians sampled are supertasters. What is the probability that exactly 15 of the Canadians sampled are supertasters?Answer:______________Round to at least FOUR digits after the decimal if necessary. b. What is the probability that the 10th Canadian sampled is the sixth person to indicate that they are a supertaster?Answer:______________Do NOT round your answer; give all the decimals.

What is the probability that this person will have at least one accident within a year?A. 0.215 B. 0.115 C. 0.45 D. 0.095 E. none of the above
According to a study conducted by a public health school, a child seated in the front seat who was wearing a seatbelt was 33% more likely to be killed in an accident if the car had an air bag that deployed than if it did not. Airbags deployed in 26% of all accidents. For a child seated in the front seat wearing a seatbelt, what is the probability that the airbag deployed in an accident in which the child was killed? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) HINT [When we say "A is 33% more likely than B" we mean that the probability of A if 1.33 times the probability of B.]
