10. Assume that hitting oil at one drilling location is independent of another, and that, in a particular region, the probability of success at any individual location is 0.3. Suppose the drilling company believes that a venture will be profitable if the number of wells drilled until the second success occurs is less than or equal to 7. What is the probability that the venture will be profitable?

Contingency Table

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear relationship between two variables. A contingency table is indeed a type of frequency distribution table that displays two variables at the same time.

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

A construction company employs two sales engineers. Engineer 1 does the work of estimating cost for 70% of jobs bid by the company. Engineer 2 does the work for 30% of jobs bid by the company. It is known that the error rate for engineer 1 is such that 0.02 is the probability of an error when he does the work, whereas the probability of an error in the work of engineer 2 is 0.04. Suppose a bid arrives and a serious error occurs in estimating cost. What is the probability that Engineer 1 did the work?
Under current economic circumstances, a stockbroker estimates that a client would invest in tax-free bonds (A) with a chance of 0.6 and in mutual funds (B) with a probability of 0.3. He has a 0.15 chance of investing in both tax-free and mutual funds. Determine the probability that the consumer will not invest in any of the two options at this moment.
Q: A certain virus infects one in every 20 people. A test used to detect the virus in a person delivers positive outcome at 85% accuracy for infected persons. Moreover, it provides negative outcome for healthy persons at 95% accuracy. Compute followings: Find the probability that a person has the virus given that his test outcome is positive. Find the probability that a person does not have the virus given that his test outcome is negative. Find the probability that a person has the virus given that his test outcome is negative.

Suppose that the rats on the campus of Hypothetical U are found to be carriers of bubonic plague. Eradicating the rats has an estimated cost of $1,000,000 and is expected to reduce the probability a given student dies of the plague from 1/3,000 to zero. Suppose that there are 30,000 students on campus. Suppose further that the administration refuses to eradicate the rats due to the cost. From this information, we can estimate that the administration's willingness to pay to save a student statistical life is no more than $100,000 $1,000,000 $50,000 $33,333
If you play roulettes and bet on 'red' the probability that you win is 18/38 = .4737. People often repeat this between several times. We can consider each time we play a 'trial' and consider it a success when we win, so p = 18/38 or (.4737) and q = 20/38 or (.5263). Suppose that Caryl always places the same bet when she plays roulette, $5 on 'red'. Caryl might play just once, or might play several times. She has a profit (having won $5 more times than she lost $5) if she wins more than half of the games she plays. -when you play 401 times, p is the proportion of those 401 games that you win. You'll profit (winning more than you lose) if you win more than half of your bets p > .5000. c) what is the mean or expected value of p? d) what is the standard deviation of p? e) assume that the distribution of p is Normal and find the probability that Caryl will have a profit if she plays 401 times. show your work or calculator input and round your answer to four decimal places

The probability of afternoon rain given morning cloud cover >50% is of interest to those forecasting the weather. You can calculate this probability using Bayes' Theorem (below). The probability of morning cloud cover in general is 30% in the area you are concerned with and when there's afternoon rain, morning cloud cover of the kind described above occurs 90% of the time. The probability of rain in general for the area is about 26% of days. From the above information, identify what P(BIA) would be. Express your answer as a proportion, rounded to two decimal places. P(A/B)= = P(B|A)*P(A) P(B)
Suppose you are told that among Atlantic salmons, the proportion of salmons suffering from a viral infection is 0.085. If you collect a sample 250 Atlantic salmons, what is the chance that the proportion of salmons in your sample suffering from a viral infection will be less than 0.9? Would you expect the probability of the event in (1) to be higher or lower if you had a sample of 500 salmons instead? Justify.
The principle of redundancy is used when system reliability is improved through redundant or backup components. Assume that a student's alarm clock has a 15.7% daily failure rate. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. What is the probability that the student's alarm clock will not work on the morning of an important final exam? | (Round to three decimal places as needed.) b. If the student has two such alarm clocks, what is the probability that they both fail on the morning of an important final exam? (Round to five decimal places as needed.) c. What is the probability of not being awakened if the student uses three independent alarm clocks? (Round to five decimal places as needed.) d. Do the second and third alarm clocks result in greatly improved reliability? O A. No, because total malfunction would still not be unlikely. O B. No, because the malfunction of both is equally or more likely than the malfunction of one. OC. Yes, because you can always be certain that at least one…
