Suppose you model a game of chance with a discrete probability distribution. Let X be the net amount of money or lost by the player. Let pX be the probability of the corresponding outcome. The three events are as follows: There is a 23% chance the player wins 7 dollars. there is a 38% chance the player loses 4 dollars. there is a 39% chance the player breaks even.

According to TMUSS Quarterly (Totally Made-Up Sports Statistics) April 2017, the probability that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will score a touchdown on their opening drive is 0.14. The probability that the Bucs will both score a touchdown on their opening drive and have 3 or more sacks in the game is 0.19. The is the probability that they will either score a touchdown on the opening drive or have 3 or more sacks in the game is 0.39. What is the probability that the Bucs will have 3 or more sacks in the game? Answer in decimal form. Round to two decimal places as needed.

A raffle ticket costs $5. First and second prize winners will be drawn at random. The probability of winning the $100 first prize is 1/40 and the probability of winning the $25 second prize 1/20. A) find the probability model of a player's net gain, taking into account the $5 cost of the ticket? B) what is the mean winning for one play?
Bryan is performing data entry for an insurance company by taking handwritten records and entering them into the database. Thus far, 15.6% of the handwritten records have had missing data that prevented them from being entered into the database. If Bryan takes 10 handwritten records, what is the probability that at most three records will be incomplete?
A web server's visit always comes from five sites. The percentages of known visits from sites 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are 20%, 30%, 15%, 10% and 25% respectively. The probability of visits from five sites lasting more than 2 minutes is 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.2 and 0.9 respectively. Now randomly select a visit. What is the probability that the visit lasts more than 2 minutes? If the selected visit last more than 2 minutes, which sites does it most likely come from?
candy industries take random samples from their inventory and sort by flavor. daycare center samples a number of those they take care of and sort by how often they cry during a day visit. If you randomly select a candy from the candy sample and a child in daycare from the daycare sample, what is the probability that you'd pick a grape taffy and a child who cries more than twenty times a day?
A survey found that 40% of Dynamic Housing’s potential customers viewed the single-family house virtual tours and of those that viewed the virtual tours 3% leased a single-family house. What is the probability that a potential customer will view the virtual tour and lease a single-family house.
A professional tennis player claims to get 90% of her second serves in. In a recent match, the player missed 5 of her first 20 second serves. Is this a surprising result if the player's claim is true? Assume that the player has a 0.10 probability of missing each second serve. We want to carry out a simulation to estimate the probability that she would miss 5 or more of her first 20 second serves. The dotplot displays the number of second serves missed by the player out of the first 20 second serves in 100 simulated matches. ▪………………………. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●● A●●●●●●●● …………….. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Number of missed serves in simulated match 7 Is there convincing evidence that the player misses more than 10% of her second serves? Why or why not? No, there is not convincing evidence that the player misses more than 10% of her second serves. Missing 5 out of 20 is better than expected. No, there is not convincing evidence that the player misses more than 10% of her second serves. Assuming the player makes…
A gas station has three grades of fuel, regular, premium and diesel. Due to problems with the supply chain, the probabilities that the station will run out of any three fuel types in a week are 0.10, 0.16 and 0.24, respectively. These probabilities are statistically independent. Also, if there is a shortage of diesel, the probability of a shortage of premium becomes 0.25. 1. How likely is the station to run out of all three fuels in a given week? 2. What is the probability that if regular runs out, both premium and diesel will also run out? 3. What is the probability that the station will run out of at least one of either premium and diesel? 4. What is the probability that the station will run out of at least 2 of the fuels in a week?
