In a population of 10,000, there are 5000 nonsmokers, 2500 smokers of one pack or less per day, and 2500 smokers of more than one pack per day. During any month, there is a 6% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking a pack or less per day, and a 4% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke a pack or less per day, there is a 10% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of increasing to more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke more than a pack per day, there is an 8% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of dropping to a pack or less per day. How many people will be in each group in 1 month, in 2 months, and in 1 year? (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.) (a) in 1 month nonsmokers people 1 pack/day or less people more than 1 pack/day people (b) in 2 months nonsmokers people 1 pack/day or less people more than 1 pack/day people (c) in 1 year nonsmokers people 1 pack/day or less people more than 1 pack/day people

A study tracked a large group of people for 10 years. At the start of the study, 20% were heavy smokers (H), 30% were light smokers (L), and 50% were non-smokers (N). The interest of the study was whether the people in the study died during the study (D) or not die (Dc ). The probability that a light smoker died during the study was twice that of the probability of a non-smoker dying. Also, the probability that light smoker died during the study was half that of the probability of a heavy smoker dying. A randomly selected person from the study died during the study. What is the probability that this person was a heavy smoker (given they died, what is the probability they were a heavy smoker H)?

For smokers who smoke a pack or less per day, there is a 10% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of increasing to more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke more than a pack per day, there is a 9% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of dropping to a pack or less per day.

You are interested in the number of people that will visit your restaurant in the noon hour. Historically, there is a 10% chance that more than 10 customers will visit, a 30% chance that more than 8 customers will visit, a 50% chance that more than 6 customers will visit, a 80% chance that more than 4 customers will visit, and a 95% chance that at least 2 customers will visit during the noon hour. What is the probability that 4 or less customers will visit the restaurant -- the number required to break even financially for the day?Express your answer as a percent value. So if your answer is 100% for example, enter 100. Round your answer to the nearest percent.
According to TMUSS Quarterly (Totally Made-Up Sports Statistics) April 2017, the probability that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense will have 3 or more sacks in the game is 0.05.
