Question: There is a 30% chance that the economy will be good next year and a 70% chance that it will be bad. If the economy is good, there is a 60% chance of a bull market, a 30% chance of a normal market, and a 10% chance of a bear market.

Question: According to the American Medical Association, about 36% of all U.S. physicians under the age of 35 are women. Your company has just hired eight physicians under the age of 35 and none is a woman.
