- 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 |…arrow_forwardTwo coins are tossed 500 times, and we get: i) Two heads: 105 times ii) One head: 275 times iii) No head: 120 times Find the probability of each eventarrow_forwardThe probability that a visitor to an animal shelter will adopt a dog is 0.10.

- Hello help please There are six hundred Economics students in the post-graduate classes of a university, and the probability for any student to need a copy of a particular book from the university library on any day is 0.05. How many copies of the book should be kept in the university library so that the probability may be greater than 0.90 that none of the students needing a copy from the library has to come back disappointed?arrow_forwardManagers of the restaurant, NicePizzeria@Nola, have to plan for the number of pizzas they want to make at the beginning of each day. Based on market research, the managers know the daily demand can only be one of the three levels: 30, 40 or 50 pizzas. Also, the probabilities of getting a daily demand of 30, 40, 50 pizzas are 0.3, 0.4, 0.3 respectively. The managers decide that their tentative daily supply of pizza should also be one of the three levels: 30, 40 or 50 pizzas. Each pizza costs $3 to make and the price is $8 per pizza. Note: The profit for each pizza sold is $5. For the ones supplied but not sold, the profit is -$3. Fill in the following profit table (hint: use two-way table ) and use the profit table to answer the questions. Three demand levels 30 40 50 30 Three supply 40 levels 50 1) What is the maximin supply level? 2) What is the maximum expected profit (across three supply levels)?arrow_forwardEric has a job at an electronics store in a mall. Eric doesn't like to work hard, and it costs him $100 to do so. Eric's employer cannot observe whether Eric works hard or not. If Eric works hard, there is a 75% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $400 a day and a 25% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $100 a day. If Eric shirks, there is a 75% probability that electronics goods profits will equal S100 a day and a 25% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $400 a day. Suppose Eric is paid $200 if electronics goods profits are $400 a day and $50 if electronics goods profits are S100 a day.
