Suppose that two persons are working on a project together. The probability that person A works for one year is 0.8 and the probability thatperson B works for one year is 0.6. The probability that at least one person works for one year is 0.9.Calculate the probability that B works for one year, given that A works for one year (round to the nearest thousandth).

In a certain year, the probability that a stock was in the Information Technology sector was 0.1353. The probability that the stock had a dividend yield of 2.00% or higher given that it was in the Information Technology sector was 0.2988. The probability that a stock had a dividend yield of 2.00% or higher given that it was not in the Information Technology sector was 0.4469. Find the probability that the stock was in the Information Technology sector given that it had a dividend yield of 2.00% or higher. Let F be the event that a stock was in the Information Technology sector and E be the event that a stock had a dividend yield of 2.00% or higher. P(F)= and P P (F') =

Please provide steps for how you got the solution to the problem provided below. A machine is used to produce one of each of two types of product (A and B) on alternating days, i.e., if A is produced today then B will be produced tomorrow and vice versa. Each day, there is a probability that the machine malfunctions. Malfunction probability after a day of operation is 0.03 when producing A and 0.07 when producing B. Once the machine malfunctions, it is no longer operable and will not be replaced until sometime in the future (beyond modeling horizon). Model the system as a Markov chain (give transition matrix on your paper). Suppose that on Monday product A was produced. Find the probability that the machine is still operable by the morning of Thursday. Your model should have a state ”malfunction”, which cannot transition to any other state other than itself.
