You want to make a salad from whatever vegetable you have in the fridge. You have seven different tomatoes. There are 2 red tomatoes, 4 yellow tomatoes, and one black tomato in the fridge. You have three different bell peppers. There is 1 red pepper, 1 yellow pepper, and 1 green pepper. What is the probability of randomly choosing a vegetable and getting a red tomato, and a green pepper? Round your answer to four decimal places.

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.
