Manufacturer A supplies 40% of the soup served in the cafeteria, while Manufacturer B supplies 60% of the soup that is served. 3% of the soup cans provided by Manufacturer A are found to be dented, while 1% of the cans provided by Manufacturer B are found to be dented. Given that a can of soup is dented, find the probability that it came from Manufacturer B.A law school is trying to gain a better understanding of the determinants of bar passage rates. Suppose that they the following facts were uncovered: 1. The probability with which a randomly selected graduate has received an A in Economic Foundations of Legal Studies (EFLS) is 0.3;2.

- You are modeling a qualitative variable that takes on two classes (classes 1 and 2). In trying to classify observation 11 (out of 20) you compute the conditional probability for class 1 as 0.51. How would you classify this observation?Two identically able agents are competing for a promotion. The promotion is awarded on the basis of output (whomever has the highest output, gets the promotion). Because there are only two workers competing for one prize, the losing prize=0 and the winning prize =P. The output for each agent is equal to his or her effort level times a productivity parameter (d). (i.e. Q2=dE1 , Q2=dE2). If the distribution of “relative luck” is uniform, the probability of winning the promotion for agent 1 will be a function of his effort (E1) and the effort level of Agent 2 (E2). The formula is given by...Prob(win)=0.5 + α(E1-E2), where α is a parameter that reflects uncertainty and errors in measurement. High measurement errors are associated with small values of α (think about this: if there are high measurement errors, then the level of an agent’s effort will have a smaller effect on his/her chances of winning). Using this information, please answer the following questions. Both workers have a…A restaurant manager classifies customers as regular, occasional, or new, and finds that of all customers 50%, 40%, and 10%, respectively, fall into these categories.
