A stock's returns have the following distribution:

Demand for the
Company's Products
Probability of This
Demand Occurring
Rate of Return If
This Demand Occurs
Weak 0.1 (28%)
Below average 0.2 (6)   
Average 0.4 18  
Above average 0.1 34  
Strong 0.2 56

I need to verify my answers are correct.

A large operator of timeshare complexes requires anyone interested in making a purchase to first visit the site of interest. Historical data indicates that 55% of all potential purchasers select a day visit, 25% choose a one-night visit, and 20% opt for a two-night visit. In addition, 10% of day visitors ultimately make a purchase, 25% of night visitors make a purchase, and 20% of those visiting for two nights make a purchase. Suppose a visitor is randomly selected

(a) What is the probability that the visitor makes a purchase?

(my answer was 0.1 * 0.55 + 0.25 * 0.25 + 0.2 * 0.2 = 0.1575)

(b) What is the probability that the visitor visited for two nights given that they made a purchase.

(my answer was found using bayes theorem: (0.25 * 0.2)/0.1575 = 0.31746

(c) What is the probability that the visitor visited for one night given that they did not make a purchase?

(my answer was: (1 - 0.25)(0.25)/(1 - 0.1575) = 0.22255

Thanks for your help

the number of fire engines available to extinguish fires in a small town is two. When a fire occurs it occupies one fire engine for a full day. If the occurence of fires is Poisson distributed with a mean of 0.7 per day, what is the probability that a fire will occur for which no engine is available?
