Q: An automobile insurance company is in the process of reviewing its policies. The company is considering increasing the premium charged to drivers under 25. According to company records, 35 percent of the insured drivers are under the age of 25. The company records also show that 280 of the 700 insured drivers under the age of 25 have been involved in at least one automobile accident. On the other hand, only 130 of the 1,300 insured drivers 25 years or older have been involved in at least one automobile accident. An accident has just been reported. What is the probability that the insured driver is under the age of 25? A. 35% B. 20.5% C. 14% D. 68.3% E. 40%

Q: Alternatives 1 and 2 in the following payoff table represent the two possible manufacturing strategies that the EKA manufacturing company can adopt. The level of demand affects the success of both strategies. The states of nature (SI) represent the levels of demand for the company products. S1, S2, and S3 characterize high, medium, and low demand, with probabilities of .3, .6, and .1, respectively. The payoff values are in thousands of dollars. The management believes that weather conditions significantly affect the level of demand. 48 monthly sales reports are randomly selected. These monthly sales reports show 15 months with high demand, 28 months with medium demand, and 5 months with low demand. 12 of the 15 months with high demand had favorable weather conditions. 14 of the 28 months with medium demand had favorable weather conditions. Only 1 of the 5 months with low demand had favorable weather conditions. The estimated probabilities of poor weather conditions given different levels of demand are presented below. What is the probability of high demand given that the weather conditions are poor? A. .06 B. .44 C. .1371 D. .12 E. .1818

Q: A pharmaceutical company manufacturing flu test kits wants to determine the probability of a teenager not having the flu when the test results indicate that they do. It is estimated that the probability of positive test for flu among potential users of the kit is 10 percent. According to the company laboratory test results, 1 out of 100 noninfected teenagers tested as having the flu (false positive). On the other hand, 1 out of 200 teenagers with the flu tested as not having the active virus (false negative). A teenager has just used the flu test kit manufactured by the company and the results showed she has the flu. What is the probability that she does not have the flu?
