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 |
| 1.0 |
Assume the risk-free rate is 2%. Calculate the stock's expected return, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and Sharpe ratio. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.

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

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?
