- In a small town there are 10,000 homes. When it comes to television viewing, the residents have three choices: they can subscribe to cable, they can pay for satellite service, or they watch no TV. (The town is sufficiently remote so that an antenna does not work.) In a given year, 80% of the cable customers stick with cable, 10% switch to satellite, and 10% quit watching TV. Over the same time period, 90% of satellite viewers continue with satellite service, 5% switch to cable, and 5% quit watching TV. And of those people who start the year not watching TV, 85% continue not watching, 5% subscribe to cable, and 10% get satellite service (see Figure below). Suppose that the current distribution is 8000 homes with cable, 1300 homes with satellite, and 700 homes with no TV. Find the distribution one year, two years, three years, and four years from now.

It then chose a sample of 415 television viewers and asked them whether they would be willing to pay an extra $10 per month to continue to access the channel. A total of 25 of the 415 replied that they would be willing to pay. The marketing director of the company claims that less than 10% of all its subscribers would continue subscribing. Can you conclude that the director's claim is true?

- A nutrition study investigated knowledge about fruit juices. The study was conducted in a pediatric clinic. Accompanying parents were asked to classify a national brand of “fruit drink”, that contains less than 10% fruit juice, as 100% fruit juice, fruit juice mix, or no fruit juice at all. The investigators asked 150 parents. The table contains the results.

If one considers just the set of customers who completed the project purchase at the website, 80% read at least some of the user reviews about the product on the site. When considering those customers who did not purchase of the product at the website, only 20% of these potential customers read the user reviews about the product on the site. The website managers are interested in how customer review-reading behavior affects the likelihood of purchase. A likelihood probability for this problem context is: A. P(Purchase | Visit Site) B. P(Did Not Purchase | Read User Reviews) C. P(Visit Site | Purchase) D. P(Did Not Read User Reviews | Product Purchased) E.

The data warehouse consists of a number of distinct components, including a cloud server (99.999% availability), a database management system server (99.4%), an analytics logic server (94.7%), and, of course, the network infrastructure to the cloud server, which has an availability of 99.9%. What is the overall availability of the system, expressed as a percentage with three digits of precision?

Based on records, 45% of customers get the basic wash, 35% get the classic wash, and 20% get the ultimate wash. Some customers also vacuum out their cars after the wash. The car wash records show that 10% of customers who get the basic wash, 25% of customers who get the classic wash, and 60% of customers who get the ultimate wash also vacuum their cars.
