Obesity is a growing public health concern worldwide. Adults with a high body mass index (BMI)

of 25 or greater are considered overweight or obese. The table shows the number of adults (in

millions) who are overweight or obese in countries with different income levels, based on data

from the World Health Organization and the United Nations.

(a) What is the probability that a randomly selected adult has a high BMI?

(b) Given that a randomly selected adult is from a lower middle-income country, what is the

probability the adult has a low BMI?

(c) What is the probability a randomly selected adult either has high BMI or comes from a low-income

country?

(d) What is the probability that a randomly selected adult either has low BMI or comes from a

high-income country?

(e) Are the events having high BMI and having low BMI mutually exclusive?

(f) Are the events coming from a high-income country and having low BMI independent?

Jeff Heun, president of Carla Always, agrees to construct a concrete cart path at Dakota Golf Club. Carla Always enters into a contract with Dakota to construct the path for $235,000. In addition, as part of the contract, a performance bonus of $32,800 will be paid based on the timing of completion. The performance bonus will be paid fully if completed by the agreed-upon date. The performance bonus decreases by $8,200 per week for every week beyond the agreed-upon completion date. Jeff has been involved in a number of contracts that had performance bonuses as part of the agreement in the past. As a result, he is fairly confident that he will receive a good portion of the performance bonus. Jeff estimates, given the constraints of his schedule related to other jobs, that there is 55% probability that he will complete the project on time, a 30% probability that he will be 1 week late, and a 15% probability that he will be 2 weeks late.

Determine the transaction price that Carla Always should compute for this agreement.

Assume that Jeff Heun has reviewed his work schedule and decided that it makes sense to complete this project on time. Assuming that he now believes that the probability for completing the project on time is 97% and otherwise it will be finished 1 week late, determine the transaction price.
