Internet sites often vanish or move, so that references to them can't be followed. In fact, 13% of Internet sites referenced in major scientific journals are lost within two years after publication. If a paper contains seven Internet references, what is the probability that at least one of them doesn't work two years later?

An insurance company found that 2.4% of male drivers between the ages of 18 and 25 are involved in serious accidents annually. To simplify the analysis, assume that every such accident costs the insurance company $62,000 and that a driver can only have one of these accidents in a year. Complete parts (a) through (c). (a) If the company charges $2,600 for such coverage, what is the chance that it loses money on a single policy? P(loses money)= .024 (Type an integer or a decimal.) (b) Suppose that the company writes 1,000 such policies to a collection of drivers. What is the probability that the company makes a profit on these policies? Assume that the drivers don't run into each other and behave independently. P(profit) = .976 (Round to five decimal places as needed.)
According to a recent research, 13% of people living in a city has experienced COVID-19 related symptoms in the past 1 year. We randomly pick 100 people from this city and use X to show the number of those who have experienced COVID-19 related symptoms in the past 1 year. Use this information and answer the following questions: g. What is the probability that at most 90 people did not experience COVID-19 related symptoms in the past 1 year? h. What is the probability that exactly 88 people did not experience COVID-19 related symptoms in the past 1 year?
