it’s rainy one third of the days. Given that it is rainy, there will be heavy traffic with probability 1/2, and given that it is not rainy, there will be heavy traffic with probability 1/4. If it’s rainy and there is heavy traffic, I arrive late for work with probability 1/2. On the other hand, the probability of being late is reduced to 1/8 if it is not rainy and there is no heavy traffic. In other situations (rainy and no traffic, not rainy and traffic) the probability of being late is 0.25. You pick a random day.IMPORTANT: Use both tree diagram and application of chain rule to show your result. What is the probability that it’s not raining and there is heavy traffic and I am not late?

Assume that in the 1000 business accounts of a bank. 120 have been fraudulently altered. The alterations are sufficiently subtle that only a detailed audit can uncover them. Fifty business accounts are chosen at random for detailed auditing. What is the probability that at least one of the alterations is discovered? Find the expected value and variance of the number of altered accounts discovered during the audit

EXPERT ANSWER Given X~Binomial(n=50, p=120/1000=0.12)P(X=x)=xC50*(0.12^x)*(0.88^(50-x)) a. So the probability isP(X>=1)=1-P(X=0)=1-0.88^50=0.9983245
