Suppose your computer chip production and sale business produces a basic one and one for gamers. Last year, 40% of the chips sold were basic. Of the base model buyers, 30% buy an extended warranty, while 50% of the gamer model buyers do the same. If a randomly selected buyer is known to have an extended warranty, the probability that they have a base model is:

If BIC charges a premium of 9,449 silver coins and would pay a death benefit of 46,201 silver coins if the insured were to die, what is the expected value of this insurance policy to BIC?
There are seven geologic faults (and possiblymore) capable of generating a magnitude 6.7 earthquake in theregion around San Francisco. Their probabilities of rupturingby the year 2032 are 27%, 21%, 11%, 10%, 4%, 3%, and 3%.Source: Science News.a. Calculate the probability that at least one of these faults erupts by the year 2032, assuming that these are indepen-dent events. b. Scientists forecast a 62% chance of an earthquake withmagnitude at least 6.7 in the region around San Franciscoby the year 2032. Compare this with your answer from parta. Consider the realism of the assumption of independence. Also consider the role of roundoff. For example, the prob-ability of 10% for one of the faults is presumably rounded to the nearest percent, with the actual probability between9.5% and 10.5%.

The Business School at State University currently has three parking lots, each containing 155 spaces. Two hundred faculty members have been assigned to each lot. On a peak day, an average of 70% of all lot 1 parking sticker holders show up, an average of 72% of all lot 2 parking sticker holders show up, and an average of 74% of all lot 3 parking sticker holders show up. a. Given the current situation, estimate the probability that on a peak day, at least one faculty member with a sticker will be unable to find a spot. Assume that the number who show up at each lot is independent of the number who show up at the other two lots. Compare two situations: (1) each person can park only in the lot assigned to him or her, and (2) each person can park in any of the lots (pooling). (Hint: Use the RISKBINOMIAL function.) If needed, round your answer to a whole percentage and if your answer is zero, enter "0". No pooling: Pooling: 51.4 % 83.8 % b. Now suppose the numbers of people who show up at…
Suppose an oil company is thinking of buying some land for $10,000,000. There is a 60%60% chance of economic growth and a 40%40% chance of recession. The probability of discovering oil is 44%44% when there is economic growth and 32%32% when there is a recession. If there is economic growth and the oil company discovers oil, the value of the land will triple. If they do not discover oil, the value of the land will decrease by 10%.10%. If there is a recession and the company discovers oil, the value of the land will increase by 50%.50%. If they do not discover oil, the land will decrease in value by 75%.75%. What is the expected value of the investment? Give your answer to the nearest dollar. Avoid rounding within calculations. $$ Select the correct interpretation of the expected value. The expected value represents what the actual investment value will be for this land purchase of $10,000,000. The company should make the investment because the expected value…

Brandybuck Insurance Company (BIC) is deciding whether to insure the lives of those leading a quest to Moria. Based on past experience, the probability of surviving such a quest is 92.2%. If BIC charges a premium of 7,941 silver coins and would pay a death benefit of 42,081 silver coins if the insured were to die, what is the expected value of this insurance policy to BIC? Round to the nearest silver coin as needed. If the expected value is a loss to BIC, enter your answer as a negative number.
In a recent senatorial election, 47% of the voters in a certain district were registered as Democrats, 36% were registered as Republicans, and 17% were registered as Independents. The incumbent Democratic senator was reelected over her Republican and Independent opponents. Exit polls indicated that she gained 73% of the Democratic vote, 22% of the Republican vote, and 34% of the Independent vote. Assuming that the exit poll is accurate, what is the probability that a vote for the incumbent was cast by a registered Republican? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
