Provide an appropriate response. Smith is a weld inspector at a shipyard. He knows from keeping track of good and substandard welds that for the afternoon shift 5% of all welds done will be substandard. If Smith checks 300 of the 7500 welds completed that shift, what is the probability that he will find less than 20 substandard welds?

In a certain year, the probability that a stock was in the Information Technology sector was 0.1353. The probability that the stock had a dividend yield of 2.00% or higher given that it was in the Information Technology sector was 0.2988. The probability that a stock had a dividend yield of 2.00% or higher given that it was not in the Information Technology sector was 0.4469. Find the probability that the stock was in the Information Technology sector given that it had a dividend yield of 2.00% or higher. Let F be the event that a stock was in the Information Technology sector and E be the event that a stock had a dividend yield of 2.00% or higher. P(F)= and P P (F') =
