5. A multiple-choice examination has 15 questions, each with five possible answers, only one of which is correct. Suppose that one of the students who takes the examination answers each of the questions with an independent random guess. What is the probability that he answers at least ten questions correctly? 6. A complex electronic system is built with a certain number of backup components in its subsystems. One subsystem has four identical components, each with a probability of .2 of failing in less than 1000 hours. The subsystem will operate if any two of the four components are operating. Assume that the components operate independently. Find the probability that; (a) Exactly two of the four components last longer than 1000 hours.

A major traffic problem in Baguio City can be seen in the intersection of Abanao and Maharlika. Let us assume that the probability of no traffic delay in one period, given no traffic delay in the preceding period, is 0.85 and that the probability of finding a traffic delay in one period, given a delay in the preceding period, is 0.75. Traffic is classified as having either a delay or a no-delay state, and the period considered is 30 minutes. Draw the transition diagram in 2 periods. (TREE DIAGRAM)
Suppose a doctor is conducting a clinical trial to test the effectiveness of a new drug for treating a certain disease. The doctor randomly assigns 200 patients to two groups: a treatment group that receives the new drug, and a control group that receives a placebo. If 30% of the patients in the treatment group experience a full recovery from the disease, and 20% of the patients in the control group experience a full recovery, what is the probability that the new drug is truly effective, given these results?
3. A retailer sells two brands of batteries that experience indicates are equal in demand. If he stocks two of each brand (which means he has 4 batteries in his store), what is the probability that a customer seeking to purchase two batteries, purchases the same brand? 1/3 2/3 01/2 1/4

A company buys microchips from three suppliers I, II and III. Supplier I has a record of providing microchips that contain 10% defective; supplier a defective rate of 5% and supplier III has a defective rate of 3%. Suppose 10%, 40% and 50% of the current supply came from suppliers I, II and III, respectively. If a randomly selected microchip is defective, what is the probability that it came from supplier II?

9. A law firm employs three types of lawyers: junior lawyers, senior lawyers, and partners. During a given year, there is a 0.1 probability that a junior lawyer will be promoted to senior lawyer and a 0.05 probability that he or she will leave the firm. Also, there is a 0.2 probability that a senior lawyer will be promoted to partner and a 0.15 probability that he or she will leave the firm. There is a 0.03 probability that a partner will leave the firm. The firm never demotes a lawyer. th Let Xn be the status of an employee at the n' year after he or she has been hired, it could be one of the three types of lawyers (junior, senior, or partner) or two types of leaving (either leaving as a partner or leaving as a non-partner).
