In a large accounting firm, the proportion of accountants with MBA degrees and at least five years of professional experience is 70% as large as the proportion of accountants with no MBA degree and less than five years of professional experience. Furthermore, 20% of the accountants in this firm have MBA degrees, and 26% have fewer than five years of professional experience. If one of the firm’s accountants is selected at random, what is the probability that this accountant has no MBA degree AND less than five years of professional experience?

Consider randomly selecting a student at a certain university, and let A denote the event that the selected individual has a Visa credit card and B be the analogous event for a MasterCard. Suppose that P(A)=0.5 , P(B)=0.4 and P(A\( \cap \)B)=0.25.
(a) Compute the probability that the selected individual has at least one of the two types of cards (i.e., the probability of the event A\( \cup \)B).
(b) What is the probability that the selected individual has neither type of card?
(c) Describe, in terms of A and B, the event that the selected student has a Visa card but not a MasterCard, and then calculate the probability of this event.

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) has scores from 100 to 900.
Scores are supposed to follow a Normal distribution with a mean of 500 and standard deviation of 150.
a. Suppose you earned a 800 on your GMAT test. From that information and the 68-95-99.7 Rule, where do you stand among all students who took the GMAT?
b.Suppose you earned a 450 on your GMAT test. Where do you stand among all students who took the GMAT?
c. Assuming the GMAT scores are nearly normal with N(500, 150), what proportion of GMAT scores falls between 400 and 700?
