2. Toxic chemical incidents. Process Safety Progress (Sept. Location Percent of Incidents 2004) reported on an emergency response system for inci- dents involving toxic chemicals in Taiwan. The system has logged over 250 incidents since being implemented in 2000. The accompanying table gives a breakdown of the School laboratory 6% In transit 26% locations where these toxic chemical incidents occurred. Chemical plant 21% Consider the location of a toxic chemical incident in Nonchemical plant 35% Taiwan. Other 12% a. List the simple events for this experiment. b. Assign reasonable probabilities to the simple events. c. What is the probability that the incident occurs in a school laboratory? Total 100% Source: Chen, J. R., et al. “Emergency response of toxic chemicals in Taiwan: The system and case studies." Process Safety Progress, Vol. 23, No. 3, Sept. 2004 (Figure 5a). 3. Toxic chemical incidents. Refer to the Process Safety Progress (Sept. 2004) study of toxic chemical incidents in Taiwan, Exercise 3.5 (p. 86). a. Find the probability that the incident occurs in either a chemical or nonchemical plant. b. Find the probability that the incident did not occur in a school laboratory.
