4. 5. In a group of 100 students, 90 study Mathematics, 80 study Physics, and 5 study none of these subjects. Find the probability that a randomly selected student: (a) studies Mathematics given that he or she studies Physics, and (b) does not study Physics given that he or she studies Mathematics. In a certain assembly plant, three machines, Machine 1, Machine 2 and Machine 3 make 30%, 45% and 25% respectively of the products. It is known from the quality control data collected from the past that 2%, 3% and 2% of the products made by each machine respectively, are defective. If a product is chosen randomly chosen and found to be defective, what is the probability that it is made by Machine 32

Question 4 A red die, a blue die, and a yellow die (all six-sided) are rolled. We are interested inthe probability that the number appearing on the blue die is less than that appearing on theyellow die which is less than that appearing on the red die. (That is, if B (R) [Y ] is the numberappearing on the blue (red) [yellow] die, then we are interested in P(B < Y < R). )(a) What is the probability that no two of the dice land on the same number?(b) Given that no two of the dice land on the same number, what is theconditional probability that B < Y < R?(c) What is P(B < Y < R)?
At the beginning of the first day (day 1) after grape harvesting is completed, a grape grower has 8000 kg of grapes in storage. On day n, for n = 1, 2, . . . ,the grape grower sells 250n/(n + 1) kg of the grapes at the local market at the priceof $2.50 per kg. He leaves the rest of the grapes in storage where each day they dryout a little so that their weight decreases by 3%. Let wn be the weight (in kg) ofthe stored grapes at the beginning of day n for n ≥ 1 (before he takes any to themarket).(a) Find the value of wn for n = 2.(b) Find a recursive definition for wn.

Consider two defaultable 1-year loans with a principal of $1 million each. The probability of default on each loan is 2.5%. Assume that if one loan defaults, the other does not. Assume that in the event of default, the loan leads to a loss that can take any value between $0 and $1 million with equal probability, i.e., the probability that the loss is higher than $ ? million is 1 − ?. If a loan does not default, it yields a profit equal to $20,000. Compute the 1-year 98% Value at Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) of a single loan.
John is training for a marathon and he can easily alternate between running a mile and walking a mile. If he runs for 2 miles in a row, he becomes fatigued, and must then walk for 2 miles in a row in order to no longer be fatigued. When he is fatigued, he can still alternate between running a mile and walking a mile, but if he runs 2 miles in a row while already fatigued, he will collapse on the side of the road. If he runs 3 miles in a row at any point, he will also collapse. Let the letter 'a' stand for John running 1 mile, and the letter 'b' stand for John walking 1 mile. Draw a DFA which accepts all possible runs in which John does not collapse on the side of the road.

A ski rental agency has n pairs of skis, where the height of the the ith pair of skis is si . There are n skiers who wish to rent skis, where the height of the ith skier is hi. Ideally, each skier should obtain a pair of skis whose height matches her/his own height as closely as possible. We would like to assign skis to skiers so that the sum of the absolute differences of the heights of each skier and her/his skis is minimized. Design a greedy algorithm for the problem. Prove the correctness of your algorithm. (Hint: Start with two skis and two skiers. How would you match them? Continue to three skis and three skiers, and identify a strategy.)
Please solve the following problem. Quiz = Pass Quiz = Fail AI = Fail 0.1 0.2 AI = Pass 0.6 0.1 Mid = Pass Mid = Fail AI = Fail 0.2 0.2 AI = Pass 0.5 0.1 Suppose you have three events AI Grade, Quiz, and Mid. Here each event has two possible outcomes, either pass or fail. Additionally, given that AI Grade is observed, Quiz and Mid become independent of each other. Also, out of every 100 students, 30 students fail the AI course. Now, using the joint probability tables given, calculate P(AI Grade=Pass, Quiz=Fail, Mid=Fail).
A typical roulette wheel used in a casino has 38 slots that are numbered 1,2,3,....,36,0,00, respectively. Half of the remaining slots are red and half are black. Also, half of the integers between 1 and 36 inclusive are odd, half are even, and 0 and 00 are defined to be neither odd nor even. A ball is rolled around the wheel and ends up in one of the slots; we assume each slot has equal probability of 1/38, and we are interested in the number of the slot into which the ball falls. (a)Define the Sample space S. (b)Let A = {0,00}. Give the value of P(A). (c) Let B = {14,15,17 18}. Give the value of P(B). (d) Let D = {x:x is odd}. Give the value of P(D).
Assume that, with probability 0.8, It’s going to snow and/or I’m going to stay at home; and with probability 0.7, when it snows, then I stay at home. What is the probability of being truth that I am going to stay at home?
[Very Hard] Suppose, you are working in a company ‘X’ where your job is to calculate the profit based on their investment. If the company invests 100,000 USD or less, their profit will be based on 75,000 USD as first 25,000 USD goes to set up the business in the first place. For the first 100,000 USD, the profit margin is low: 4.5%. Therefore, for every 100 dollar they spend, they get a profit of 4.5 dollar. For an investment greater than 100,000 USD, for the first 100,000 USD (actually on 75,000 USD as 25,000 is the setup cost), the profit margin is 4.5% where for the rest, it goes up to 8%. For example, if they invest 250,000 USD, they will get an 8% profit for the 150,000 USD. In addition, from the rest 100,000 USD, 25,000 is the setup cost and there will be a 4.5% profit on the rest 75,000. Investment will always be greater or equal to 25,000 and multiple of 100.
