University degree requirements typically are different for Bachelor of Science degrees and Bachelor of Arts degrees. Some
students get a Bachelor of Arts and Science degree, which requires meeting graduation criteria for both degrees. A student
advisor needs to know the probability a newly admitted student is interested in such a program, so that the student can be
properly advised. A study of previous years finds that the probability a student gets a Bachelor of Science degree is
P(Science) = 0.3 and the probability a student gets a Bachelor of Arts degree is P(Arts) = 0.6. The study also shows that
the probability a student gets no degree is P(no) = 0.2. Some probability calculations show the probability of getting a
Bachelor of Arts and Science degree to be P(Arts & Science) = 0.1.
Getting a Bachelor of Arts degree and getting a Bachelor of Science degree are not independent because:
P(Arts & Science) = P(Arts)
P(Arts & Science) = P(Arts) P(Science)
P(Arts & Science) = P(Arts |…

You are trying to decide whether or not to make a tee time tomorrow to play golf. This requires a commitment on your part of turning down, say, movie tickets in favor of playing golf. If you accept the tickets, you also make the commitment not to go golfing. There is a weather forecast that signals whether it will rain tomorrow or not. There is a 0.80 probability that it rains when there is a "rainy" forecast and a 0.125 probability of rain when there is a "sunny" forecast. The overall probability of getting a "rainy" forecast is 0.111. Assume you are risk neutral.
