Team A wins against team B with a probability of 0.75. What is the probability that team A wins a best of 3 series (first to win two)? For this problem, I tried to use the binomial distribution formula. Here's my work: I added the probability of team A winning in 2 games and the probability of A winning in 3 games. What did I do wrong?

Suppose a company charges a premium of $150 per year for an insurance policy for storm damage to roofs. Actuarial studies show that in case of a storm, the insurance company will pay out an average of $8000 for damage to a composition shingle roof and an average of $12,000 for damage to a shake roof. They also determine that out of every 10,000 policies, there are 7 claims per year made on composition shingle roofs and 11 claims per year made on shake roofs. What is the company’s expected value (i.e., expected profit) per year of a storm insurance policy? What annual profit can the company expect if it issues 1000 such policies?

An investor has decided to commit no more than $80,000 to the purchase of the common stocks of two companies, Company A and Company B. He has also estimated that there is a chance of at most a 1% capital loss on his investment in Company A and a chance of at most a 4% loss on his investment in Company B, and he has decided that these losses should not exceed $2000. On the other hand, he expects to make a(n) 15% profit from his investment in Company A and a(n) 18% profit from his investment in Company B. Determine how much he should invest in the stock of each company (x dollars in Company A and y dollars in Company B) in order to maximize his investment returns.(x, y)= What is the optimal profit?$

Suppose that there are 4 deaths due to stomach can- cer among workers in a tire plant from 1/1/64 to 12/31/83, while 2.5 are expected based on U.S. mortality rates. Provide a 95% CI for the expected number of deaths from stomach cancer over 20 years among the tire workers. Is the number of cases of stomach cancer excessive?
