Question

You are planting a garden this Spring and you have 3 different kinds of seeds to
choose from: carrot (C), lettuce (L), and bean (B). Unfortunately, there are three pests
that, if they live sufficiently close to you, will eat the young plants—leaving you with
nothing for your efforts! These pest are: rabbits (R), molls (M), and gophers (G).
By checking with Ag Extension at NMSU, you have learned the following:


P{R} = 0.4 → the probability that rabbits present and hungry
P{M} = 0.3
P{G} = 0.1

P{C | R} = 0.5 → the probability that your carrots get eaten given that you've got
hungry rabbits around
P{L | R} = 0.3
P{B | R } = 0.7


P{C | M} = 0.3 → the probability that your carrots get eaten given that you've got
hungry moles around
P{L | M} = 0.4
P{B | M} = 0.6


P{C | G} = 0.4 → the probability that your carrots get eaten given that you've got
hungry gopher around
P{L | G} = 0.9
P{B | G} = 0.3

a) What is the probability that the lettuce doesn’t get eaten?


b) What is the probability that the carrots are eaten and there are hungry rabbits nearby?
In other words, determine P (C∩R) .


c) If you know that there are hungry gophers and hungry rabbits nearby, what is the
probability that your carrots will be eaten? Assume that the events of the gophers and
rabbits eating the carrots are independent.
