Two machines turn out all the products in a factory, with the first machine producing 25% of the product and the second 75%. The first machine produces defective products 6% of the time and the second machine 5% of the time. (a) What is the probability that a defective part is produced at this factory given that it was made on the first machine?

You are waiting tables on the side, in order to make rent. You pick up one shift (one day, determined at random) per week. Business is very predictable - on Mondays, 10 tables are occupied with patrons, on Tuesdays, 20 tables, Wednesdays 30 tables, 40 tables on Thursdays and 50 on Fridays. You can assume that you make $10 in tips per table. Your annual rent is $14,400. What is the probability that you are able to make rent from this job, this year? (assuming you work all 52 weeks without a vacation or break)?
You purchase a brand new car for $15,000 and insure it. The policy pays 78% of the car's value if there is an issue with the engine or 30% of the car's value if there is an issue with the speaker system. The probability of an issue with the engine is 0.009, and the probability there is an issue with the speaker system is 0.02. The premium for the policy is p. Let X be the insurance company's net gain from this policy. (a) Create a probability distribution for X, using p to represent the premium on the policy. Enter the possible values of X in ascending order from left to right. P(X) (b) Compute the minimum amount the insurance company will charge for this policy. Round your answer to the nearest cent

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.
