The probability that there is no accident at a certain busy intersection is 91% on any given day, independently of the other days.
(a) [2 marks] Find the probability that there will be no accidents at this intersection during the next 4 days.
(b) [2 marks] Find the probability that in next 4 weeks there will be exactly 4 days with accidents.
(c) [2 marks] Today was accident free. Find the probability that there is no accident during the next 7 days, but there is at least one accident by the end of the 14th day.

At a busy city intersection the probability is 0.08 that an accident will occur on any given day. However, if it rains that day, then the probability of an accident is 0.24. Weather records show that it rains about 10 percent of the days in this city. Suppose you read in the paper that an accident did occur at the intersection yesterday. Knowing this, what is the probability that it rained yesterday?
