You and a group of friends are going to a five-day outdoor music festival during spring break. You hope it does not rain during the festival, but the weather forecast says there is a 45% chance of rain on the first day, a 55% chance of rain on the second day, a 10% chance of rain on the third day, a 10% chance of rain on the fourth day, and a 5% chance of rain on the fifth day. Assume these probabilities are independent of whether it rained on the previous day or not. What is the probability that it does not rain during the entire festival?

In an amusement arcade there is a horse race with horses coloured red, yellow and green. Only one player can play this game at any time and the outcomes of each race are independent of previous races. You can either bet 10p or 20p. If you bet 10p then each horse is equally likely to win. If you bet 20p the corresponding probabilities are 50%, 30% and 20%, respectively. Three times as many people bet 10p as do 20p. Given red wins, what is the probability it had been a 20p bet? 0.333 0.300 0.313 0.298
Suppose that Trendy Inc. products a style of a seasonal business suit, Sit-T-Slicker, which has a cost of $500 per unit. The demand during the season for Sit-T-Slicker is generally unknown and could be either: 200, 500, 800, 1100, and 1500 units with equal probabilities. Trendy sells the Sit-T-Slicker suit for $900 per unit during its three-month season, and for $300 per unit when sold after that time. Given the above data, what is the optimal order quantity for the Sit-T-Slicker? What is expected profit? Suppose the probabilities in part a change to 0.05, 0.25, 0.40, 0.25, 0.05 for demand levels 200, 500, 800, 1100, 1500, respectively. What is the optimal order quantity and expected profit in this case? How would better information regarding the demand for the Sit-T-Slicker suit change the data provided in this problem? How would this information affect the answers to part a? Explain.
(QUEEN'S SECRET AND GENIES) In old days, there was a queen and she had a secret problem to solve. To get an answer to her secret problem, the queen bought one female and one male genie lamps. The probabilities that her secret problem can be solved by the male and female genies are 0.3 and 0.4 respectively. A Queen looking for divine help. Assume the queen keeps the genies independently away from each other with a fear that both could not harm her, what is the probability that the queen's secret problem is solved by at least one of the genies? Note: Please keep accuracy upto two decimal places.
In a certain community, eight percent of all adults over age 50 have diabetes. If a health service in this community correctly diagnosis 95% of all persons with diabetes as having the disease and incorrectly diagnoses ten percent of all persons without diabetes as having the disease, find the probabilities that: The health service will diagnose an adult over age 50 as having diabetes. A person over 50 diagnosed by the health service as having diabetes actually has the disease.
At a museum cafe you can get a pre-made boxed lunch with a sandwich, fruit, and drink for only $3. • The sandwiches are made with either turkey or ham. • The fruit is either an apple or an orange. • The drink is either bottled water or juice. The number of boxes they make for every possible combination is the same. If you randomly choose one of the boxed lunches without knowing the contents, what is the probability you will get a turkey sandwich, an apple, and a bottle of water in your box? 1 4

Hank is holding a red lollipop that is 20% to be cherry, 30% to be strawberry and 50% to be cinnamon. If it is cherry or strawberry, he will eat every bite, but if the lollipop is cinnamon, it's going straight in the trash. An hour later, Hank is happily finishing the lollipop. What is the probability that it was cherry?
