Solution:

1.
The probabilities provided in the question are about the market share
Virgin Blue = 34%
Qantas = 50%
Jetstar = 12%
.
Then it also tells us that 30% of domestic travellers travel with virgin blue for the first time
85% of those who travel with virgin blue , travel with them again
.
P(atleast twice in four years) = P(2 times) + P(3 times) + P(4 times)
.
P(2 times) = 0.85 * 0.15 *0.15 = 0.019125
P(3 times) = 0.85 *0.85 *0.15 = 0.108375
P(4 times) = 0.85* 0.85 *0.85 = 0.614125
.
P(atleast twice in four years) = 0.019125 + 0.108375 + 0.614125
P(atleast twice in four years) = 0.741625

3.
Probability of domestic traveller in age 35-49 = 0.12
P(Traveller is in age 35-49 or traveller travelled with Virgin Blue) = P(Traveller is in age 35-
49) + P(Not in age 35-49 and Travelled with Virgin Blue) = 0.12+0.88*0.34, as Virgin blue
has 34% of the market
= 0.4192
P(travelled with Virgin Blue| Age is 35-49) = P(Travelled first time with Virgin Blue|Age is 35-
49) + P(Travelled again with Virgin Blue | age is 35-49) = 0.24+0.85*0.34 = 0.529

4.
P(Value for money) = 0.79
P(Travelled with VB|Value for money) = 0.68
P(Travelled with VB | No value for money) = 0.12
P(Travelled with VB) = P(Value for money).P(Travelled with VB|Value for money) +  P(No
Value for money).P(Travelled with VB|No Value for money)=0.79*0.68+0.21*0.12 =0.5624
P(Value for money|Travelled with VB) = P(Travelled with VB|Value for money).P(Value for
money)/P(Travelled with VB) = 0.68*0.79/0.5624 = 0.955
P(No Value for money|Travelled with VB) = P(Travelled with VB|No Value for money).P(No
Value for money)/P(Travelled with VB) = 0.12*0.21/0.5624 = 0.045
