The probability that a student owns a car is 0.72. The probability that a student owns a computer is 0.73. If the probability that a student owns both is 0.57, what is the probability that a randomly selected student owns a car or a computer? You should write your answer as a decimal since the probabilities are given as decimals in this problem. The probability that a student owns a car or a computer is____________

In Vancouver, British Columbia, the probability of rain during a winter day is 0.58, for a spring day it is 0.38, for a summer day it is 0.25 and for a fall day it is 0.53. Each of the four seasons lasts one quarter of the year. If you were told that on a particular day it was raining in Vancouver, what would be the probability that this day would be a winter day? The answer should be a number between 0 and 1. How to know which probability formula to use?

The chair of the board of directors says, “There is a 50% chance this company will earn a profit, a 30% chance it will break even, and a 20% chance it will lose money next quarter.

Probability can be used to interpret the results of a test given to determine if a person is using drugs. Suppose we assume that a 5% of people are drug users. A test is 96% accurate, which we’ll say means that if a person is a drug user, the result is positive 96% of the time. A randomly chosen person tests positive. What is the probability that the person is a drug user?

Please help solve part (b) and (c) on this question. Suppose that the probability that a passenger will miss a flight is 0.0907. Airlines do not like flights with empty seats, but it is also not desirable to have overbooked flights because passengers must be "bumped" from the flight. Suppose that an airplane has a seating capacity of 52 passengers. (b) Suppose that 58 tickets are sold. What is the probability that a passenger will have to be "bumped"? (c) For a plane with seating capacity of 230 passengers, what is the largest number of tickets that can be sold to keep the probability of a passenger being "bumped" below 1%? **THIS IS NOT A GRADED QUESTION, IT IS PRACTICE HOMEWORK**
