Making an informed decision – Should we convict? A woman who was shopping in Los Angeles had her purse stolen by a young, blonde female who was wearing a ponytail. The blonde female got into a yellow car that was driven by a man with a mustache and a beard. The police located a blonde female named Janet who wore her hair in a ponytail and had a male friend who had a mustache and beard and also drove a yellow car. Based on this evidence the police arrested the two suspects. Because there were no eyewitnesses and no real evidence, the prosecution used probability to make its case against the defendants. The probabilities listed below were presented by the prosecution for the known characteristics of the thieves. Probability 1/10 Characteristic Yellow car Man with mustache 1/4 Woman with ponytail 1/10 Woman with blonde hair 1/3 Man with beard 1/10 Interracial couple in a car 1/1000 (a) Assuming that the characteristics listed above are independent of each other, what is the probability that a randomly selected couple has all these characteristics? That is what is, calculate the probability: P( "yellow car" and "man w/ mustache, beard and . "interracial couple in car")?

One suchcommercial shows a businessman trying to reach Phoenix and mistakenly gettingFiji, where a half-naked native on a beach responds incomprehensibly in Polynesian.When asked about this advertisement, AT&T admitted that the portrayed incidentdid not actually take place but added that this was an enactment of something that“could happen.”12 Suppose that one in 200 long-distance telephone calls is misdirected. What is the probability that at least one in five attempted telephone calls reachesthe wrong number? (Assume independence of attempts.)Refer to the information in the previous problem. Given that your longdistance telephone call is misdirected, there is a 2% chance that you will reach a foreign country (such as Fiji).
