Read the above information and answer the above questions Egil “Bud” Krogh was a young lawyer who worked for the Nixon administration in the late 1960s and early 1970s as deputy assistant to the president. Military analyst Daniel Ellsberg leaked the “Pentagon Papers,” which contained sensitive information regarding the United States’ progress in the Vietnam War. President Nixon himself tasked Krogh with stopping leaks of top-secret information. And Nixon’s Assistant for Domestic Affairs, John Ehrlichman, instructed Krogh to investigate and discredit Ellsberg, telling Krogh that the leak was damaging to national security. Krogh and another staffer assembled a covert team that became known as the “plumbers” (to stop leaks), which was broadly supervised by Ehrlichman. In September 1971, the plumbers’ first break-in was at the office of Ellsberg’s psychiatrist; they were looking for documents that would discredit Ellsberg based on mental health. Reflecting on the meeting in which the…

If you pour out half and dilute it with tap water while you're pouring it, there's no problem.  Byran: I don't think that's going to work. Besides, isn't it against the law?  Max: Look, kid, I don't have time for chat about a bunch of laws. If I spent my time worrying about every little regulation that comes along, I'd never get anything done -- and neither will you. Common sense is my rule. I just told you --Toxins settle at the bottom, and most of them will stay…

The Commission of Education reported that 47% of college freshmen earn a degree and graduate within 5 years. Assume that the graduation records show that women make up 50% of the students who graduated within 5 years, but only 45% of the students who did not graduate within 5 years. The students who had not graduated within 5 years either dropped out or were still working on their degrees. a. Let A1 = the student graduated within 5 yearsA2 = the student did not graduate within 5 yearsW = the student is a female student Using the given information, what are the values for P(A1), P(A2), P(W ǀ A1)and P(W ǀ A2)? P(A1) = ____________ P(W ǀ A1) = _______P(A2) = ____________ P(W ǀ A2) = _______ b. What is the probability that a female student will graduate within 5 years?Identify the values of the following:P(A1)P(W/A1)P(A1 ∩ W)P(A1/W)P(A2) P(W/A2) P(A2 ∩ W)P(A2/W) P(W) = _______ c. What is the probability that a male student will graduate within 5 years? d. Given the preceding results, what…
