Suppose a groundhog jumps out of its hole (within a 1-minute interval) with probability 0.2 and goes back inside (within a 1-minute interval) with probability 0.4. If the groundhog starts out inside the hole, answer the following questions. (a) Let pt be the probability the groundhog is inside the hole after t minutes. Compute pt+1 in terms of pt. (b) Find the probability the groundhog is outside after two minutes have passed. (c) Find the long-run probability that the groundhog is inside, that is the equilibrium of the system.

Suppose the probability that a male develops some form of cancer in his lifetime is 0.4573. Suppose the probability that a male has at least one false positive test result (meaning the test comes back for cancer when the man does not have it) is 0.51, and that this probability is independent of the probability that a male will develop cancer in his lifetime. • C = a man develops cancer in his lifetime• F = a man has at least one false positive Part (a) Construct a tree diagram of the situation. P(C) = P(F | C) = P(F | C' ) If a test comes up positive, based upon numerical values, can you assume that man has cancer? Justify numerically and explain why or why not. -You cannot assume the man has cancer because there is not enough information given. -You cannot assume the man has cancer because there is a 51% chance that the test is false. -You cannot assume the man has cancer because both the probability of developing cancer in his lifetime and the probability of…
A professor of management has heard that eleven students in his class of 37 have landed an internship for the summer. Suppose he runs into two of his students in the corridor. a. Find the probability that neither of these students has landed an internship. (Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 4 decimal places.) b. Find the probability that both of these students have landed an internship.

an unfair coin with Pr[H]=0.85 is flipped. If the flip results in a head, one student is selected at random from a class of 4 girls and 6 boys. If the flip results in a tail, one student is selected from a different class containing 7 girls and 3 boys. Find the probability that the flip resulted in heads given that a boy was selected.
Suppose a coin with Pr[H] = 2/3 is flipped 3 times. Using a tree, find the probability that heads was flipped two of the three times.
A student in this class is writing two midterms in math this week. The probability that she will pass MAT 2371 is 0.7, and the probability that she will pass MAT 2125 is 0.7.

A hacker is trying to guess someone's password. The hacker knows (somehow) that the password is 4 digits long, and that each digit could be a number between 0 and 9. Assume that the hacker makes random guesses.What is the probability that the hacker guesses the password on his first try? Please report the answer to four decimal places.
