The result of tossing a coin once will be either head or tail. Let A and B be the events of observing head and tail, respectively. The events A and B are:

After 8 hours of continuous use, assume that a given battery is still operating with a probability of 0.70 and has failed with a probability of 0.30.  What is the probability that between 25 and 30 batteries (inclusive) will last at least 8 hours?

The annual returns, in percentages, on stocks A and B for three possible states of the economy are given in the table below.

If one invested in StockA, what would be the expected annual percentage return? Place your answer, in percent, in the blank. For example, an expected 10 percent return would be recorded as 10. Do not use a percent sign.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is a very visible group whose main focus is to educate the public about the harm caused by drunk drivers. A study was recently done that emphasized the problem we all face with drinking and driving. Five hundred accidents that occurred on a Saturday night were analyzed. Two items noted were the number of vehicles involved and whether alcohol played a role in the accident. The numbers are shown below:

                                                        Number of Vehicles Involved

What proportion of accidents involved alcohol and a single vehicle?

Place your answer, rounded to 2 decimal places, in the blank. For example, 0.23 is a legitimate entry.

He believes that each of these three busy individuals, independently of the others, has about 40% chance of being able to attend the meeting. What is the probability that at least two of the three vice presidents can attend the meeting? Place your answer, rounded to 3 decimal places, in the blank. For example, 0.123 would be a legitimate entry.
