Chapter 10, Problem 10.2.13RE
(Opt.) A study found a significant relationship among a person’s years of experience on a particular job x1, the number of workdays missed per month x2, and the person’s age y. The regression equation is y′ = 12.8 + 2.09x1 + 0.423x2. Predict a person’s age if he or she has been employed for 4 years and has missed 2 workdays a month.

Wing Foot is a shoe franchise commonly found in shopping centers across the United States. Wing Foot knows that its stores will not show a profit unless they gross over $940,000 per year. Let A be the event that a new Wing Foot store grosses over $940,000 its first year. Let B be the event that a store grosses over $940,000 its second year. Wing Foot has an administrative policy of closing a new store if it does not show a profit in either of the first two years. Assume that the accounting office at Wing Foot provided the following information: 58% of all Wing Foot stores show a profit the first year; 72% of all Wing Foot store show a profit the second year (this includes stores that did not show a profit the first year); however, 86% of Wing Foot stores that showed a profit the first year also showed a profit the second year. Compute P(B|Ac). Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
