Suppose that an employee at a local company checks his watch and realizes that he has 10 minutes to get to work on time. If he leaves now and does not get stopped by any traffic lights, he will arrive at work in exactly 8 minutes. In between his house and his work there are three traffic lights, A, B, and C. Each light that stops him will cause him to arrive an additional 2 minutes later. The following table displays the probability that he is stopped by each of the three traffic lights. Assume that the probability that he is stopped by any given light is independent of the probability that he is stopped by any other light. Traffic light A Traffic light B Traffic light C ?(?)P⁡(A) ?(?)P⁡(B) ?(?)P⁡(C) 0.6 0.4 0.9 What is the probability that the employee is not late for work? (Round to 3 decimal places)
Each of two parents has the genotype green divided by bluegreen/blue, which consists of the pair of alleles that determine eye coloreye color, and each parent contributes one of those alleles to a child. Assume that if the child has at least one greengreen allele, that color will dominate and the child's eye coloreye color will be greengreen. a. List the different possible outcomes. Assume that these outcomes are equally likely. b. What is the probability that a child of these parents will have the blue divided by blueblue/blue genotype? c. What is the probability that the child will have greengreen eye coloreye color? a. List the possible outcomes. A. green divided by green comma green divided by blue comma and blue divided by bluegreen/green, green/blue, and blue/blue B. green divided by blue and blue divided by greengreen/blue and blue/green C. green divided by green and blue divided by bluegreen/green and blue/blue D. green divided by green…

Imagine you have three coins: one is fair, one is biased (twice as likely to be heads as tails), the third is also biased (twice as likely to be tails as heads). You pick one of the three coins at random, and flip it 20 times. How should you decide which coin you are holding, based on the results, to maximize your probability of being correct?
This student never eats the same kind of food for 2 consecutive weeks. If she eats a Chinese restaurant one week, then she is equally likely to have Greek as Italian food the next week. If she eats a Greek restaurant one week, then she is three times as likely to have Chinese as Italian food the next week. If she eats a Italian restaurant one week, then she is four times as likely to have Chinese as Greek food the next week. Assume that state 1 is Chinese and that state 2 is Greek, and state 3 is Italian. Find the transition matrix for this Markov process. P =
According to KRomenx, Snell, and Thompson, 2 the Land of Oz is blessed by many things, but not by good weather. They never have two nice days in a row. If they have a nice day, they are just as likely to have snow as rain the next day. If they have snow or rain, they have an even chance of having the same the next day. If there is change from snow or rain, only half of the time is this a change to a nice day. DRAW TRANSITION GRAPH AND PROBABLOLITY MATRIX

This student never eats the same kind of food for 2 consecutive weeks. If she eats a Chinese restaurant one week, then she is five times as likely to have Greek as Italian food the next week. If she eats a Greek restaurant one week, then she is four times as likely to have Chinese as Italian food the next week. If she eats a Italian restaurant one week, then she is twice as likely to have Chinese as Greek food the next week. Assume that state 1 is Chinese and that state 2 is Greek, and state 3 is Italian.

On Mr. Casper's debate team at Thunderbird High School, 20% of the members are Sophomores, 35% are Juniors and 45% are Seniors. A team member is selected randomly to give the closing argument for the team. If a sophomore gives the closing argument, the team has a probability of 0.25 of winning the debate. If a junior gives the closing argument, the probability of winning is 0.6. If a senior closes, the probability of winning is 0.85. (a) Find the probability that the team wins the debate. b sketch a tree diagram to model this process
