Step 1
Given information:
An experiment consists of four outcomes, i.e. E1, E2, E3, and E4.
P(E1) = 0.2, P(E2) = 0.3, and P(E3) = 0.4
It implies the probability of outcome E1 is 0.2, the probability of outcome E2 is 0.3, and the probability of outcome E3 is 0.4

- A large consumer goods company ran a television advertisement for one of its soap products. On the basis of a survey that was conducted, probabilities were assigned to the following events. B = individual purchased the product S = individual recalls seeing the advertisement BnS = individual purchased the product and recalls seeing the advertisement The probabilities assigned were P(B) = 0.20, P(S) = 0.40, and P(BS) = 0.12. a.

You are trying to decide whether or not to make a tee time tomorrow to play golf. This requires a commitment on your part of turning down, say, movie tickets in favor of playing golf. If you accept the tickets, you also make the commitment not to go golfing. There is a weather forecast that signals whether it will rain tomorrow or not. There is a 0.80 probability that it rains when there is a "rainy" forecast and a 0.125 probability of rain when there is a "sunny" forecast. The overall probability of getting a "rainy" forecast is 0.111. Assume you are risk neutral. You place the following monetary values on the potential outcomes: a sunny day at the golf course a rainy day at the movies a rainy day at home $95 $20 -$18 a sunny day at $1 the movies a.

- When a new machine is functioning properly, only 6% of the items produced are defective. Assume that we will randomly select two parts produced on the machine and that we are interested in the number of defective parts found. (a) Describe the conditions under which this situation would be a binomial experiment. (Select all that apply.) For each part selected, the probability of a defective part being produced must be 0.06. The parts must be selected independently. The selection of a part is dependent on the first part selected. The number of successes and failures in this experiment are equal. The probability of choosing a part that is defective must be 0.94. (b) Draw a tree diagram similar to this section's example showing this problem as a two-trial experiment.
