1) The probabilities of poor print quality given “no printer problem”, “misaligned paper”, “high ink viscosity”, or “printer-head debris” are 0, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.6 respectively. The probabilities of “no printer problem”, “misaligned paper”, “high ink viscosity”, or “printer-head debris” are 0.7, 0.05, 0.15 and 0.1, respectively. (a) Determine the probability of “high ink viscosity” given poor print quality (b) Given poor print quality, what problem is most likely?

2.2) The average price of cell phones manufactured by Ahmadi, Inc. is $100 with a standard deviation of $10. Furthermore, it is known that the prices of the cell phones manufactured by Ahmadi are normally distributed. a) Suppose cell phones manufactured by Ahmadi, Inc. are used in a test. Find the probability that exactly two of the three cell phones have prices less than $100.

A food safety engineer has discovered that a food warmer has temperature problems. While they set up the temperature at 78c, it heats with the mean of 78c but a standard deviation of 2c. The problem is that any food that drops below 74c can create food poison for the consumers. What is the probability of having non-standard food from this food warmer? In other words, what proportion of food can be a health hazard? (Use the number only without any extra character or % sign)

Two devices are used to measure the length of beam. If the true length of the beam is L, the measurement error made by one device, E, , is normally distributed with mean 0 and standard deviation 0.006L, and the measurement error made by the other device, E, , is normally distributed with mean 0 and standard deviation 0.004L. The two measurement errors are independent of each other. What is the probability that the average value of the two measurements, (E, + E,)/2, is within 0.5% of L? Note that this problem can be done using the attached table of the cdf of the standard normal random variable.

Suppose that home prices (in thousands of dollars) in a certain region have a mean of 360 and a standard deviation of 180. A realtor randomly selects a sample of 90 homes in the region. Estimate the probability that the sample mean home price from the realtor's data is greater than 400 (thousand dollars). You must justify your solution, and note any assumptions you are making.
