For customers purchasing a refrigerator at a certain appliance store, let A be the event that the refrigerator was manufactured in the U.S., B be the event that the refrigerator had an icemaker, and C be the event that the customer purchased an extended warranty.
Relevant probabilities are
P(A) = .75 P(B|A) = .9 P(B|A′) = .8
P(C|A ∩ B) = .8 P(C|A ∩ B′) = .6
P(C|A′ ∩ B) = .7 P(C|A′ ∩ B′) = .3
a. Construct a tree diagram consisting of first-, second-, and third-generation branches, and place an event label and appropriate probability next to each branch.
b. Compute P(A ∩ B ∩ C).
c. Compute P(B ∩ C).
d. Compute P(C).
e. Compute P(A|B ∩ C), the probability of a U.S. purchase given that an icemaker and extended warranty are also purchased.
