8. In an experiment, if there is neither a gain nor a loss in the long run, the expected value is _______.
9.  Probability problems that require obtaining a favorable outcome in each of the given events are ________ probability problems.
10. The manager at the local auto shop has found that the probability that a car brought into the shop requires an oil change is 0.81, the probability that a car brought into the shop requires brake repair is 0.19, and the probability that a car requires both an oil change and brake repair is 0.19. For a car brought into the shop, determine the probability that the car will require an oil change or brake repair.
11. Consider the figures to the right. Assume that one number from 1 to 7 is equally likely to be selected at random. Each number corresponds to one of the seven figures. Determine the probability of selecting an odd number, given that a triangle is selected.
12. A television network, Network A, is scheduling its fall lineup of shows. For the Tuesday night 8 p.m. slot, Network A has selected its top show. If its rival network, Network B, schedules its top show during the same time slot, Network A estimates that it will get 1.4million viewers. However, if Network B schedules a different show during that time slot, Network A estimates that it will get 1.7 million viewers. Network A believes that the probability that Network B will air their top show is 0.3 and the probability that Network B will air another show is 0.7. Determine the expected number of viewers for Network A’s top show.

    e) Determine the probability that a sum of 10 is rolled.

    f) Are you as likely to roll a sum of 2 s you are of rolling a sum of 10?
     
15. A bag contains four batteries, all of which are the same size and are equally likely to be selected. Each battery is a different brand. If you select two batteries at random, use the counting principle to determine how many points will be in the sample space if the batteries are selected
