Professor stan der Deviation can take one of two routes on his way home from work. On the first route, there are four railroad crossings. The probability that he will be stopped by a train at any particulare on the the crossings is .1, and trains operate independently at the four crossings. The other route is longer but there are only two crossings, also independent of one another, with the same stoppage probability for each as on the first route. On a particular day, Professor Deviation has a meeting scheduled at home for a certain time. Whichever route he takes, he calculates that he will be late if he is stopped by trains at at least half of the crossings encountered. A.) Which route should he take to minimize the probability of being late to the meeting?B.) If he tosses a fair coin to decide on a route and is late, what is the probability he took the four crossing route?

Data from 2005 for various age groups show that for each $100 increase in the median weekly income for whites, the median weekly income of blacks increases by $105. also, for workers of ages 25 to 54 the median weekly income for whites was $676 and for blacks was $527. (a) let w represent the median weekly income for whites and b the median weekly income for blacks, and write the equation of the line that gives b as a linear function of w. b = (b) when the median weekly income for whites is $760, what does the equation in (a) predict for the median weekly income for blacks?
