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?

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.

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

Lumina Retail has just bought a chain of appliance stores. Lumina received an offer from Comfort Cubbies to purchase the Wyndham branch store for $120,000. Lumina has determined probability estimates of the store's future profitability, based on historical projections as: P($80,000) = .2, P($100,000) = .3, P($120,000) = .1, and P($140,000) = .4. Your best friend's family owns Lumina and they asked you for advice. What do you recommend? Choose the BEST option. Group of answer choices Yes, sell the branch. Your highest payoff is $140,000.

At the beginning of each day, a patient in the hospital is classifed into one of the three conditions: good, fair or critical. At the beginning of the next day, the patient will either still be in the hospital and be in good, fair or critical condition or will be discharged in one of three conditions: improved, unimproved, or dead. The transistion probabilities for this situation are Good Fair Critical Good 0.65 0.20 0.05 Fair 0.50 0.30 0.12 Critical 0.51 0.25 0.20 Improved Unimproved Dead Good 0.06 0.03 0.01 Fair 0.03 0.02 0.03 Critical 0.01 0.01 0.02 For example a patient who begins the day in fair condition has a 12% chance of being in critical condition the next day and a 3%…
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?
