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:

An investment counselor calls with a hot stock tip. He believes that if the economy remains strong, the investment will result in a profit of $40,000. If the economy grows at a moderate pace, the investment will result in a profit of $10,000. However, if the economy goes into recession, the investment will result in a loss of $40,000. You contact an economist who believes there is a 20% probability the economy will remain strong, a 70% probability the economy will grow at a moderate pace, and a 10% probability the economy will slip into recession. What is the expected profit from this investment?
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 weather in a particular town in the Pacific northwest is classified as either good, indifferent or bad. If the weather is good on a particular day, the probability it will remain good the next day is only 11%, and there is a 45% chance it will be indifferent. If the weather is indifferent on a particular day, there is a 20% chance it will become good, and a 42% chance it will become bad. If the weather is bad on a particular day, there is a 48% chance it will be bad the next day, and a 21% chance it will become indifferent. Construct the stochastic matrix that models this problem.
In automotive repair, experience has shown that a rough - running engine can be attributed to the bad ignition wires 35% of the time, bad spark plugs 80% of the time, and both problems 20% of the time. Suppose a mechanic begins to diagnose the problem by checking the spark plugs first and find them to be bad. Given this information, what is the probability that the wires are also bad?
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disease in which red blood cells become distorted and deprived of oxygen. A person with two sickle cell genes will have the disease, but a person with only one sickle cell gene will have a mild, non-fatal anemia called sickle cell trait. Using S to represent the sickle cell gene, and s a healthy gene, the table shows the four possibilities for the children of two Ss parents. Find the probability that these parents give birth to a child who has sickle cell anemia. Second Parent First Parent Ss sS P(child has sickle cell anemia) =| (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
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…
