1. Refer to Exercise 23. Assume that the probabilities that each of the three scenarios occurs are P(A) = 0.20, P(B) = 0.30, and P(C) = 0.50.
a. Find the probability that scenario A occurs and that the loss is 5%.
b. Find the probability that the loss is 5%.
c. Find the probability that scenario A occurs given that the loss is 5%.
