Previous textbooks published indicate that 10% are huge successes , 20% are modest successes, 40% break even, and 30% are losers .However , before a publishing decision is made , the book will be reviewed. In the past , 99% of the huge successes received favorable reviews ,70% of the modest successes received favorable reviews, 40% of the break even books received favorable reviews, and 20% of the losers received favorable reviews.

An editor may use all, some, or none of three possible strategies to enhance the sales of a book: a. An expensive prepublication promotion b. An expensive cover design c. A bonus for sales representatives who meet predetermined sales levels In the past, these three strategies have been applied simultaneously to only $2 \%$ of the company's books. Twenty percent of the books have had expensive cover designs, and, of these, $80 \%$ have had expensive prepublication promotion. A rival editor learns that a new book is to have both an expensive prepublication promotion and an expensive cover design and now wants to know how likely it is that a bonus scheme for sales representatives will be introduced. Compute the probability of interest to the rival editor.
