- Answer the following question. Sammy the Seahawk is leading the Broward College (BC) Math Team in a competition against the Technical Higher Education of Mathematics (THEM). This competition consists of up to five rounds and the team that wins three rounds first wins the competition. The first round will be at BC, the second round at THEM, and the other rounds will continue to alternate locations. Sammy calculates that the probability of winning a round at BC is 0.7 and the probability of winning a round at THEM is 0.4. What is the probability that BC wins the competition? Your answer must be accurate to 5 decimal places.arrow_forwardIn a remote jungle village the probability of a child contracting malaria is .45 the probability of contracting measles is.65 and the probability of contracting both is .20 What is the probability of a child contracting malaria or measles?arrow_forwardBased on a study from the Chronicles of Flippin'' Awesomeness, the probability that Napoleon and Pedro make it to their first period class on time is 0.38.

- Joon wants to determine whether his San Jose oil field will yield oil. He has hired a geologist to run tests on the field. If there is oil in the field, there is a 95% chance that the test will indicate oil. If the field contains no oil, there is a 5% chance that the test will indicate oil. If the test indicates that there is no oil in the field, what is the probability that the field contains oil? Before the test, Joon believes that there is a 10% chance that the field will yield oil.arrow_forwardA person rides uber 30% of the time, her roommate gives her a ride 30% of the time and she rides with her mom 40% of the time.

- You will take either a basket weaving class or a philosophy class, depending on what your advisor decides. You estimate that the probability of getting an A in basket weaving is 0.35 (it is a hard class), while in philosophy your probability of getting an A is 0.84. However, your major is straw construction, and the chance of your advisor choosing the philosophy class is only 40%. What is the probability that you get an A? The probability that you get an A is (Give the exact simplified probability.)arrow_forwardBased on a study from the Chronicles of Flippin'' Awesomeness, the probability that Napoleon and Pedro make it to their first period class on time is 0.30.
