For customers purchasing a refrigerator at a certain appliancestore, let A be the event that the refrigerator wasmanufactured in

the U.S., B be the event that therefrigerator had an icemaker, and C be the event that thecustomer purchased an extended warranty. Relevant probabilities arebelow.
(a) Construct a tree diagram consisting of first-, second-, andthird-generation branches and place an event label and appropriateprobability next to each branch.

(b) Compute P(A intersectB intersectC).

(c) Compute P(B intersectC).
2

(d) Compute P(C).

(e) Compute P(A | B intersectC), theprobability of a U.S. purchase given that an icemaker and extendedwarranty are also purchased.


P(A) = 0.73 P(B | A) = 0.90 P(B | A' ) =0.76
P(C | A intersectB) =0.84 P(C | A intersectB' ) =0.65

Answer:

Part a : The tree diagram is attached with the solution.

Part b: The probability of P(A∩B∩C) is 0.5519.

Part c: The probability of P(B∩C) is 0.6976.

Part d: The probability of P(C) is 0.7658.​

Part e: The probability of P(A∣B∩C) is 0.7658.​

Explanation:

The solution is as follows.

Data Given is as

P(A) = 0.73

P(B | A) = 0.90

P(B | A' ) =0.76

P(C | A∩B) =0.84

P(C | A∩B' ) =0.65

P(C | A' ∩B) =0.71

P(C | A' ∩B' ) =0.32

Part a:

The remaining values of Probabilities for the tree formation are calculated as follows

P(A')=1-P(A)=1-0.73=0.27

P(B'|A)=1-P(B|A)=1-0.90=0.10

P(B' | A' )=1-P(B | A' ) =1-0.76=0.24

P(C' | A∩B) =1-P(C | A∩B)=1-0.84=0.16

P(C' | A∩B' ) =1-P(C | A∩B' ) =1-0.65=0.35

P(C' | A' ∩B) =1-P(C | A' ∩B) =1-0.71=0.29

P(C' | A' ∩B' ) =1-P(C | A' ∩B' )=1-0.32=0.68

so the probability tree is given as attached in the diagram.

Part b:

P(A∩B∩C)=P(A)P(B∣A)P(C∣A∩B)

From the above data in part a

P(A)=0.73, P(B|A)=0.90 and P(C∣A∩B)=0.84

                =0.73×0.90×0.84

               =0.55188

               ≈0.5519

The probability of P(A∩B∩C) is 0.5519.

Part c

P(B∩C)=P(A∩B∩C)+P(A'∩B∩C)

           = [P(A)P(B∣A)P(C∣A∩B)+{1−P(A)}P(B∣A′)P(C∣A′∩B)]

From the above data

P(A)=0.73,P(B∣A)=0.9,P(C∣A∩B)=0.84,P(B∣A′)=0.76 and P(C∣A′∩B)=0.71

P(B∩C)= [P(A)P(B∣A)P(C∣A∩B)+{1−P(A)}P(B∣A′)P(C∣A′∩B)]

           =(0.73×0.9×0.84)+(1−0.73)×0.76×0.71

           =0.55188+0.145692

           =0.697572

           ≈0.6976

The probability of P(B∩C) is 0.6976.

Part d

P(C)=P(A∩B∩C)+P(A′∩B∩C)+P(A∩B ′∩C)+P(A′∩B ′∩C)

      =P(A)P(B∣A)P(C∣A∩B)+[1−P(A)]P(B∣A′)P(C∣A′∩B)+P(A)[1−P(B∣A)]P(C∣A∩B′)+            

        [1−P(A)][1−P(B∣A′)]P(C∣A′∩B′)

Here from above data

P(A)=0.73,P(B∣A)=0.9,P(C∣A∩B)=0.84,P(B∣A′)=0.76,P(C∣A∩B′)=0.65,P(C∣A′∩B′)=0.32 and P(C∣A′∩B)=0.71

P(C)=P(A)P(B∣A)P(C∣A∩B)+[1−P(A)]P(B∣A′)P(C∣A′∩B)+P(A)[1−P(B∣A)]P(C∣A∩B′)+            

        [1−P(A)][1−P(B∣A′)]P(C∣A′∩B′)

     ={0.7x0.9x0.84}+{(1-0.73)x0.76×0.71}+{0.73x(1-0.9)x0.32}+{(1-0.73)x(1-          

       0.76)x0.32}

     =0.55188+0.145692+0.04745+0.020736

     =0.765758

     ≈0.7658

The probability of P(C) is 0.7658.​

Part e

From part (b),P(A∩B∩C)=0.55188

From part (c), P(B∩C)=0.697572

<em>By  conditional probability rule, </em>

P(A∣B∩C)= P(A∩B∩C)/P(B∩C)

​        = 0.55188/0.697572

              =0.791144

             ≈0.7911

The probability of P(A∣B∩C) is 0.7658.​

The demand curve for bonds shifts to the left and the interest rate rises.

  • left; rises

<h3>Influence of the demand curve</h3>

When bonds are not frequently traded, and the market becomes less liquid, the demand for the bonds falls.

As a result, with a fall in demand, the curve will move towards the left. To overcome the less liquid position, bond suppliers will raise the interest rate to attract investors and capital in the market

To overcome the less liquid position, bond suppliers will raise the interest rate to attract investors and capital in the market

Therefore, the correct answers are left and rise.
