When a call is received at an airline’s call center, the probability that it
comes from abroad is 0.32, and the probability that it is to make a change to an
existing reservation is 0.38.
a. Suppose that you are told that the probability that a call is both from
abroad and is to make a change to an existing reservation is 0.15. Calculate the
probability that a randomly selected call is either from abroad or is to make a
change to an existing reservation.
b. Suppose now that you are not given the information in part (a), but you are
told that the events “the call is from abroad” and “the call is to make a change
to an existing reservation” are independent. What is the probability that a
randomly selected call is either from abroad or is to make a change to an
existing reservation?

A golfer will play two holes of a course. Suppose that on each hole the player
will score 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7, with these five scores being equally likely. Find
the probability, and explain how the answer was determined that the player’s
total score for the two holes will be
a. 14.
