The accidents that occur in a manufacturing company were classified by severity (strong, moderate and mild) and by sex with the following characteristics: 40% of the accidents were strong and 30% were moderate. Women suffered 20% of the accidents. Of the total number of serious accidents, men suffered 85.5% of the accidents. Similarly, of the total moderate accidents, women suffered 45% of the accidents. Calculate the following probabilities: - If a woman suffered an accident, what is the probability that it was minor? - If a man suffered an accident, what is the probability that he is strong?

Brian, a landscape architect, submitted a bid on each of three home landscaping projects. He estimates that the probabilities of winning the bid on Project A, Project B, and Project C are 0.7, 0.5, and 0.2, respectively. Assume that the probability of winning a bid on one of the three projects is independent of winning or losing the bids on the other two projects. Find the probability that Brian will experience the following. (a) Win all three of the bids (b) Win exactly two of the bids (c) Win exactly one bid

A gas station has three grades of fuel, regular, premium and diesel. Due to problems with the supply chain, the probabilities that the station will run out of any three fuel types in a week are 0.10, 0.16 and 0.24, respectively. These probabilities are statistically independent. Also, if there is a shortage of diesel, the probability of a shortage of premium becomes 0.25. 1. How likely is the station to run out of all three fuels in a given week? 2. What is the probability that if regular runs out, both premium and diesel will also run out? 3. What is the probability that the station will run out of at least one of either premium and diesel? 4. What is the probability that the station will run out of at least 2 of the fuels in a week?
