On the BAII Plus, press 20 N, 8 divide 12 = I/Y, 0 PMT, 500 FV, CPT PV. On the HP12C, press 20 n, 8 ENTER 12 divide i, 0 PMT, 500 FV, PV. Make sure the BAII Plus has the P/Y value set to 1.



A study of the opinion of designers with respect to the primary color most desirable for us in executive offices showed that:

Primary Color Number of Opinions
Red 92
Orange 86
Yellow 46
Green 91

Blue 37
Indigo 46
Violet 2

What is the probability that a designer does not prefer red?

  1. 0.73
  2. 1.00
  3. 0.77
  4. 0.23
  5. None of these answers

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

There are 400 opinions of which 92 prefer red. The other 308 do not prefer red. Therefore the probability of not preferring red is 308/400 = 0.77.



Events A and B are mutually exclusive. P(A) = 0.45, P(B) = 0.27. The probability of neither A nor B occurring equals ________.

  1. 0.28
  2. 0.88
  3. 0.72
  4. 0.12

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The probability of neither A nor B occurring equals one minus the probability of either A or B occurring i.e. P (neither A nor B) = 1 - P(A or B). Now,
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B).
Also, for mutually exclusive events, P(A and B) = 0 by definition. Therefore, P(A or B) = 0.45 + 0.27 = 0.72. Finally, P(neither A nor B) = 1 - P(A or B) = 1 - 0.72 = 0.28.
