59. At a certain gas station, 40% of the customers use regular gas (A1), 35% use plus gas (A2), and 25% use premium (A3). Of those customers using regular gas, only 30% fill their tanks (event B). Of those customers using plus, 60% fill their tanks, whereas of those using premium, 50% fill their tanks.a. What is the probability that the next customer will request plus gas and fill the tank (A2 B)?b. What is the probability that the next customer fills the tank?c. If the next customer fills the tank, what is the probability that regular gas is requested? Plus? Premium?
38. Possible values of X, the number of components in a system submitted for repair that must be replaced, are 1, 2, 3, and 4 with corresponding probabilities .15, .35, .35, and .15, respectively.
a. Calculate E(X) and then E(5 - X).b. Would the repair facility be better off charging a flat fee of $75 or else the amount $[150/(5 - X)]?
[Note: It is not generally true that E(c/Y) = c/E(Y).]

Consider the ODE u' = ƒ (u) = u² + r where r is a parameter that can take the values r = −1, −0.5, -0.1, 0.1. For each value of r: (a) Sketch ƒ(u) = u² + r and determine the equilibrium points. (b) Draw the phase line. (d) Determine the stability of the equilibrium points.

Since no existing treatment exists, they have planned a one-armstudy. They wish to test whether the success rate of the drug is better than 50%, whichthey have defined as the null success rate. Preliminary testing has estimated the successrate of the drug at 55%. The investigators are eager to get the drug into production andwould like to plan for 9 interim analyses (10 analyzes in total) of the data.
