Suppose two calculators are to be randomly selected, in succession, without replacement, from a box that contains four defective and nine good calculators. After each selection, the calculator is checked to see whether it is good or defective. What is the probability that the first calculator selected is good, and the second calculator selected is defective?

A study tracked a large group of people for 10 years. At the start of the study, 20% were heavy smokers (H), 30% were light smokers (L), and 50% were non-smokers (N). The interest of the study was whether the people in the study died during the study (D) or not die (Dc ). The probability that a light smoker died during the study was twice that of the probability of a non-smoker dying. Also, the probability that light smoker died during the study was half that of the probability of a heavy smoker dying. A randomly selected person from the study died during the study. What is the probability that this person was a heavy smoker (given they died, what is the probability they were a heavy smoker H)?
In women’s tennis, a player must win 2 out of 3 sets to win a match. If a player wins the first 2 sets, she wins the match and the third set is not played. Player V and Player M will compete in a match. Player V and Player M have competed against each other many times. Historical data show that each player is equally likely to win the first set. If Player V wins the first set, the probability that she will win the second set is 0.60. If Player V loses the first set, the probability that she will lose the second set is 0.70. If Player V wins exactly one of the first two sets, the probability that she will win the third set is 0.45. What is the probability that Player V will win a match against Player M?

In a population of 10,000, there are 5000 nonsmokers, 2500 smokers of one pack or less per day, and 2500 smokers of more than one pack per day. During any month, there is a 5% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking a pack or less per day, and a 4% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke a pack or less per day, there is a 10% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of increasing to more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke more than a pack per day, there is a 9% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of dropping to a pack or less per day. How many people will be in each group in 1 month, in 2 months, and in 1 year? (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)(a) in 1 month:nonsmokers:1 pack/day or less:more than 1 pack/day:(b) in 2 months:nonsmokers:1 pack/day or less:more than 1 pack/day:(c) in 1 year:nonsmokers:1 pack/day or less:more than 1 pack/day:
section 5.5 A personnel director has two lists of applicants for jobs. List 1 contains names of 24 women and 8 men, whereas List 2 contains the names of 9 women and 16 men. A name is randomly selected from List 1 and added to List 2. A name is then randomly selected from the augmented List 2. Given that the name selected is that of a man, what is the probability that a woman's name was originally selected from List 1? Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.
On Mr. Casper's debate team at Thunderbird High School, 20% of the members are Sophomores, 35% are Juniors and 45% are Seniors. A team member is selected randomly to give the closing argument for the team. If a sophomore gives the closing argument, the team has a probability of 0.25 of winning the debate. If a junior gives the closing argument, the probability of winning is 0.6. If a senior closes, the probability of winning is 0.85.
