An editor may use all, some, or none of three possible strategies to enhance the sales of a book:a. An expensive prepublication promotionb. An expensive cover designc. A bonus for sales representatives who meet predetermined sales levelsIn the past, these three strategies have been applied simultaneously to only 2% of the company’s books. Twenty percent of the books have had expensive cover designs, and, of these, 80% have had expensive prepublication promotion. A rival editor learns that a new book is to have both an expensive prepublication promotion and an expensive cover design and now wants to know how likely it is that a bonus scheme for sales representatives will be introduced. Compute the probability of interest to the rival editor.

A fund-raising company is putting together a student kit of candy bars for a school to use in its annual support campaign. To maximize sales, the company will put more of the most popular candy bar sold in an average day in each kit. The company’s research shows that of the five most popular candies, local vending machines sell 100 of Candy A, 14 of Candy B, 50 of Candy C, 6 of Candy D, and 45 of Candy E on an average day. Which candy on average is the most popular candy? Which averaging method did you use?
The advertising director for Diversey Paint and Supply, a chain of four retail stores on Chicago’s North Side, is considering two media possibilities. One plan is for a series of half-page ads in the Sunday Chicago Tribune newspaper, and the other is for advertising time on Chicago TV. The stores are expanding their lines of do-it-yourself tools, and the advertising director is interested in an exposure level of at least 40% within the city’s neighborhoods and 60% in northwest suburban areas. The TV viewing time under consideration has an exposure rating per spot of 5% in city homes and 3% in the northwest suburbs. The Sunday newspaper has corresponding exposure rates of 4% and 3% per ad. The cost of a half-page Tribune advertisement is $925; a television spot costs $2,000. Diversey Paint would like to select the least costly advertising strategy that would meet desired exposure levels. Formulate using LP. Solve the problem.
An angler fishes half of their time at East Delaney Lake, one quarter of their time at South Delaney Lake, and one quarter of their time at North Delaney Lake. Each lake has only two types of trout, brown trout and cutthroat trout. In East Delaney Lake, 6% of the trout are brown trout. In South Delaney Lake 64% of the trout are brown trout. In North Delaney Lake 69% of the trout are brown trout. Assume that any individual trout fish has the same chance of being caught by an angler spending time at that lake. Given that the angler caught a brown trout, what is the conditional probability that they caught the trout on North Delaney Lake? Use three decimal place accuracy.
A rental car company offers three types of vehicles (compact, mid-size, and full-size).Based on prior customer data, the company knows that:35% of customers choose a compact vehicle. 45% of customers choose a mid-size vehicle. Among those who drive a long distance (more than 100 miles), one-sixth of thosecustomers choose a compact vehicle. Among those who choose a full-size vehicle, three-fifths of those customers drive ashort distance (less than 100 miles). 24% of customers drive a long distance.(a) What is the probability that a customer chooses a full-size vehicle anddrives long-distance?(b) If a customer does not choose a mid-size vehicle, find the probability thatthey will drive a short distance.
ASAP!! A firm purchases a microchip used in the manufacturing of LED screens from four different suppliers. TechZone supplies 32 percent of the total microchips, Advance Electronics 20 percent, PSP importers 23 percent, and TechParts inc. 25 percent. TechZone tends to have the best quality, as only 1 percent of its microchips arrive defective. Advance Electronics chips are 3 percent defective, PSP importers chips are 6 percent defective, and Parts Inc. are 5.5 percent defective. If a random chip is selected, what is the probability that the chip is defective A defective chip was discovered in the latest shipment. What is the probability that it came from TechZone supplies? A defective chip was discovered in the latest shipment. What is the probability that it came from TechParts Inc.?
