One of the reasons why the concept of an unfair coin is important in probability is that many real-life experiments can be modeled by a toss of an unfair coin. For example, if the probability of Kwan guessing the correct answer on a multiple-choice question is 0.25, then guessing the answer on a multiple-choice question can be modeled by a toss of an unfair coin for which Heads is associated with Correct and Tails with Incorrect. Thus, the probability of Kwan guessing correctly 2 answers on a multiple-choice test with 8 questions is exactly the same as the probability of getting 2 heads from tossing the coin 8 times and can be computed using the following formula P(kH/n) Chp(1-p)"-k with n=8, k-2, and p = 0.25: P(2H/8)=C-0.252-0.756-28-0.0625-0.177979 -0.3115 Find the probability of Kwan guessing correctly 3 answers on a multiple-choice test with 9 questions: (Round the answer to 4 decimal places.)

Question 2 You volunteer at a bookstore and are helping to pick up books from the old-book bin for recycling. The bin consists of 35 history books, 20 language books, and 5 science books. All the books have same cover and of same size, that is picking up a book is a random choice. (a) If you randomly pick up 5 books, what is the probability that more than half are history books? (b) If you randomly pick up 5 books, what is the probability that 2 are history, 2 are language and I is science?

Analysts expects that 11% of all publicly traded companies will experience a decline in earnings next year. If a company is headed for a decline, there is a 74% chance that this ratio will be negative. If the company is not headed for a decline, there is only a 20% chance that the ratio will be negative. The analyst randomly selects a company and its ratio is negative. What is the probability that the company will experience a decline?
