In Probability Concepts for Investment Decisions, the variables to be considered are: a. Random variable: variable that can have more than one possible value b. Non-Discrete random variables: Any random variables that take on only isolated values c. Continuous random variables: any random variables can have any value in a certain interval. d. Only (a) & (c) from above.

What does the memoryless property refer to? An event cannot occur if it has already occured within a recent specified time period. The distribution of the time until an event does not depend on how much time has already passed. The occurrence of an event is independent of the number of times that event has already occurred. None of the above.
Two events A and B are such that: P ( A ) = 0.3, P ( B ) = 0.4 and P ( A U B ) =0.5 find P (AUB)

An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triples of "heads" (h) and "tails" (t) which we write hth, ttt, etc. For each outcome, let N be the random variable counting the number of tails in each outcome. For example, if the outcome is hth, then N (hth) = 1. Suppose that the random variable X is defined in terms of N as follows: X=2N² − 6N-1. The values of X are given in the table below. Outcome thh tth hhh hth ttt htt hht tht Value of X-5 -5 -1 -5 -1 -5 -5 -5 Calculate the probabilities P(X=x) of the probability distribution of X. First, fill in the first row with the values of X.

An ordinary (fair) coin is tossed 3 times. Outcomes are thus triples of "heads" (h) and "tails" (t) which we write hth, ttt, etc. For each outcome, let R be the random variable counting the number of heads in each outcome.

Let S = {E1, E2, E3, E4} be the sample space of an experiment and let = {E1, E2}, B = {E3}, and C = {E3,E4} be events from S. The probabilities of the sample points are assigned as follows: P(E1) = 0.40, P(E2) = 0.40, P(E3) = 0.10, and P(E4) = 0.10. Find P(A). %3D Select one: O a. 0.60 O b. 0.80 O C. 0.70 O d. 0.30
3. Daily demand for lots of apples at the grocery store is given by the following probability distribution: 10 15 20 p(x) |0.30 0.55 0.15 The store buys a lot for $55 and sells it for $130 each. Any unsold lots at the end of the day are disposed at $45 each. Assuming that the stock level is restricted to one of the demand levels, how many lots should be stocked daily?
(2) A chemical plant produces a variate of products using four different processes, the available labor is sufficient only to run one process a time. The plant manager knows that the discharge of dangerous pollution into the plant waste water system and thence into a nearby stream is dependent on which process equipment is in operation. The probability that a particular process will be producing dangerous pollution is as shown below: Process A 40% Process B 5% Process C 30% Process D 10% All other processes in the plant are considered harmless. In a typical month the relative likelihoods of process A, B, C, and D operating through the month are 2:4:3:1, respectively. (a) What is the probability that there will be no dangerous pollution discharged in a given month? (b) If dangerous pollution is detected in the plant discharge, what is the probability that process A was operating? (c) The pollution products that are discharged by the various processes have different probability of…
