Question

For customers purchasing a refrigerator at a certain appliance store, let A be the event that the refrigerator was manufactured in the U.S., B be the event that the refrigerator had an icemaker, and C be the event that the customer purchased an extended warranty. Relevant probabilities are below.

P(A) = 0.74      P(B | A) = 0.85     P(B | A') = 0.82
P(C | A ∩ B) = 0.76 P(C | A ∩ B') = 0.55
P(C | A' ∩ B) = 0.75 P(C | A' ∩ B') = 0.25
(a) Construct a tree diagram consisting of first-, second-, and third-generation branches and place an event label and appropriate probability next to each branch.
 
(b) Compute P(A ∩ B ∩ C). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


(c) Compute P(B ∩ C). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


(d) Compute P(C). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


(e) Compute P(A | B ∩ C), the probability of a U.S. purchase given that an icemaker and extended warranty are also purchased. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
For customers purchasing a refrigerator at a certain appliance store, let A be the event that the refrigerator was manufactured in the U.S., B be the event that the refrigerator had an icemaker, and C be the event that the customer purchased an extended
warranty. Relevant probabilities are below.
P(A) = 0.74 P(BIA) = 0.85
P(B | A') = 0.82
P(CAN B) = 0.76
P(CAN B') = 0.55
P(C | A'n B) = 0.75
P(C | A' B') = 0.25
