Of the transactions, 25% were made by director 1, 35% by director 2, and 40% by director 3. For i = 1, 2, 3, define Ei to be the event that the bank officer randomly selects a transaction by director i. The following probabilities describe the proportions of transactions in a foreign currency for directors 1, 2, and 3: P1foreign  E12 = 0.02, P1foreign  E22 = 0.05, and P1foreign  E32 = 0.01.
