There are three areas of funding being reviewed: school, roads, and administrative. Each category can experience an increase, a decrease, or no change to the amount of funding it receives. Using a list, what is the probability of at least two areas with no change to funding, assuming all options have equal probability?

A museum wonders whether it should enter an insurance contract to prevent loss from thief. Of course, not entering any contract is also an option. The total worth of the museum pieces is estimated to be around $20,000. From statistics, around 3% chance the museum will be visited by thief in the coming year. In case the museum is broken, 60% chance the losses would be 10% of the total worth, while 40% chance the losses would be 30% of the total worth. Company A's policy costs $140 a year but guarantees to refund all losses due to theft. Company B's policy is only S100 a year, but the museum has to pay the first S60 of any loss themselves. Assume that there will be at most one theft a year. Draw the decision tree to minimize expected loss and decide what to do. Show your calculations.

You are interested in the number of people that will visit your restaurant in the noon hour. Historically, there is a 10% chance that more than 10 customers will visit, a 30% chance that more than 8 customers will visit, a 50% chance that more than 6 customers will visit, a 80% chance that more than 4 customers will visit, and a 95% chance that at least 2 customers will visit during the noon hour. What is the probability that 4 or less customers will visit the restaurant -- the number required to break even financially for the day?Express your answer as a percent value. So if your answer is 100% for example, enter 100. Round your answer to the nearest percent.
Samatya supermarket is planning to order souvenir cups for the upcoming national feast. The cups cost $5 and sells for $20 each. The managers believe that the demand will be 500 cups with 20% probability, 1000 cups with 50% probability and 1500 cups with 30% probability. They plan to order 600, 1000 or 1300 cups. They have the opportunity to order 200 cups more for with a $15 per cup cost if the demand comes out as 1500 cups. The cups left on hand will be scrapped as there will be no more demand for them. Draw and solve the decision tree for this problem.

A local radio station is staging a concert; it isn’t sure what music the band will play or how big the crowd will be. The table below shows the estimated profit from sales (in thousands of dollars) to the station depending on audience size and the type of music played (for example, if a “small” audience and classic rock, they will make $100K). What is the probability that the audience size is not moderate? Which type of music gives the station the greatest chance of making $250K or greater from the concert?
