a)         You, a woman with a medical background, are one of 198 applicants for an MBA 

programme of whom 81 will be selected. You hear, along the grapevine, on good authority that there were 70 women applicants, of whom 38 were selected. Assess your probabilities of being accepted before and after you receive the grapevine information.

 

b)         Is it possible for events A and B in a sample space to have the following probabilities? image

 

c)         You feel ill at night and you stumble into the bathroom, grab one of three bottles in the dark and take a pill. An hour later you feel really ghastly, and you remember that one of the bottles contains poison and the other two aspirin. Your handy medical text says that 80% of people who take poison will show the same symptoms as you are showing, and that 5% of people taking aspirin will have them. What is the probability that you took the poison given that you have got the symptoms?
