Paja has hidden a one-thousand dinar banknote in one of the three books he's currently reading, but he has forgotten which one. Let pi be the probability that he will find the banknote when quickly flipping through the i-th book (where i=1,2,3), given that the banknote is indeed in the i-th book (it's possible that pi<1). Assuming Paja quickly flipped through the first book and didn't find the banknote, what is the probability that the banknote is actually in the first book?

The probability of a 25-year-old and another 35-year-old living together for 10 years is 0.6. What is the probability that a 30-year-old person will die within 15 years, if it is known that 4000 people out of 54000 at 25 years old will die before reaching the age of 30?
For this Big Problem, we’re getting really really big: infinity! Sets that are infinitely bigdo interesting things. Here we’re going to experiment with some of them.(1) Give an example of a universal set U and a set A so that U is infinite and A is infiniteand A^c (complement of A)is also infinite. (2) Give an example of a universal set U and a set A so that U is infinite and A is infiniteand A^c (complement of A)is not infinite. (3) Give an example of a set A and a set B so that A is infinite and B is infinite andA ∩ B is also infinite. (4) Give an example of a set A and a set B so that A is infinite and B is infinite andA ∩ B is not infinite. (5) If A is infinite and B is infinite, can you find an example where A ∪ B is not infinite?Why or why not? (6) If A is infinite and B is infinite, can you find an example where A−B is not infinite?Why or why not? (7) An Interesting Fact is that there are different sizes of infinity. For example, if A is aninfinite set, then P(A) is even bigger.…

What is the probability you will roll a double (two 1 ’s, two 2 ’s, two 3 ’s, and so on)? Your answer may be short but you must show what numbers you multiplied/divided/added/subtracted by to get your final answer. It would be written in ” P(E) = ” form.

Nissa is randomly pulling the medical records of a hospital's patients and collecting the records of those who have multiple stays at this hospital. Assume that 27% of all patients who have ever stayed at this hospital have multiple stays. What is the probability that the first multiple stays patient record that Nissa comes across is the fourth one she pulls? Use a TI-83, TI-83 Plus, or TI-84 calculator to find the probability. • Round your answer to three decimal places.
