Mark Ting desperately wants his proposed new product, DNA-diamond, to be accepted by top management. DNA-diamond is a piece of jewelry that contains the DNA of a boy or girl friend, spouse, or other loved one. Top management will not approve this product in view of its high break-even point. Mark knows that if he can reduce the fixed costs in his proposal, then the break-even point will be reduced to a level that top management finds acceptable. Working with a friend in the company's finance department, Mark finds ways to credibly misstate the estimated fixed costs of producing DNA-diamonds below those that any objective person would estimate. Mark knows that if the product is successful (and he is certain that it will be), then top management will not find out about the understatement of fixed costs. Mark believes that this product, once it is successful, will benefit the shareholders and employees of the company. Required Are Mark's actions ethical? Explain.

Problem 1. A total of 2,224 people sailed on the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic, the second of the White Star Line’s Olympic-class ocean liners, from Southampton, England, to New York City. Partway through the voyage, the ship struck an iceberg and sank in the early morning of 15 April, 1912. Here are the mortality data of Titanic.
| Adult Men | Adult women | Boys | Girls | |
| Survived | 338 | 316 | 29 | 27 |
| Died | 1352 | 109 | 35 | 18 |
a. If an individual who was aboard the Titanic is randomly selected, what is the probability the individual is an adult man?
b. If an individual who was aboard the Titanic is randomly
selected, what is the probability that the individual is an adult
man, given that the selected person died?
c.What is the probability of getting a boy or a girl, given that the randomly selected person is someone who survived?
d. What is the probability of getting an adult man or an adult woman, given that the randomly selected person is someone who died?
