5A An ion channel can be in either open or closed state. If it is open, then it has probability 0.1 of closing in 1 microsecond; if closed, it has probability 0.3 of opening in 1 microsecond. 5B An individual can be either susceptible or infected, the probability of infection for a susceptible person is 0.05 per day, and the probability an infected person becoming susceptible is 0.12 per day. 5C The genotype of an organism can be either normal (wild type) or mutant. Each generation, a wild type individual has probability 0.03 of having a mutant offspring, and a mutant has probability 0.005 of having a wild type offspring.

Q. 1 t is estimated that 809% of emails are spam emails. Some software has been applied to filter these spam emails before they reach our inbox. A certain brand of software claims that it can detect 99% of spam emails, and the probability for a false positive (a non-spam email detected as spam) is 5%. Now if an email is detected as spam, then what is the probability that it is in fact a non-spam email? event A: email is spam; event B: email is detected as spam. Assume that
The nAChR ion channel can be in one of three states: resting (R), closed with Ach bound (C), and open (O) with transition probabilities (per one microsecond): 0.04 (from R to C), 0.07 (from C to R), 0.12 (from C to O) and 0.02 (from O to C); the other transition probabilities are 0. Calculate the probability of the following string of states: OCCR, taking the first state as given. (Enter three digits after the decimal).
The annual rainfall (in inches) in a certain region is normally distributed with µ = 40 and σ = 4. What is the probability that starting with this year, it will take more than 10 years before a year occurs having a rainfall of more than 50 inches? Suppose the rainfall in each year is independent of the rainfall in other years and the distribution of rainfall in each year is the same as in the present year.
Show work for every step. Two types of customers (Preferred and Regular) call a service center. Preferred customers call with rate 3 per hour, and Regular customers call with rate 5 per hour. The interarrival times of the calls for each customer type are exponentially distributed. If the call center opens at 8:00 AM, what is the probability that the first call (regardless of customers type who calls) is received before 8:15 AM?
You are allowed to take a certain test three times, and your final score will be the maximum of the test scores. Your score in test k, where k = 1, 2, 3, takes one of the values from k to 10 with equal probability 1/(11 − k), independently of the scores in other tests. What is the PMF of the final score?
The time that it takes to service a car is an exponential random variable with rate 1.1. If A brings his car in at time 0 and B brings his car in at time t, what is the probability thatB’s car is ready before A’s? Assume that the service times are independent, and the servicebegins upon arrival.2. If both cars are brought in at time 0, with work starting on B’s car only when A’s car has beencompletely serviced, what is the probability that B’s car is ready before 2? Detailed explanation and calculation would be much appreciated.

Please provide steps for how you got the solution to the problem provided below. A machine is used to produce one of each of two types of product (A and B) on alternating days, i.e., if A is produced today then B will be produced tomorrow and vice versa. Each day, there is a probability that the machine malfunctions. Malfunction probability after a day of operation is 0.03 when producing A and 0.07 when producing B. Once the machine malfunctions, it is no longer operable and will not be replaced until sometime in the future (beyond modeling horizon). Model the system as a Markov chain (give transition matrix on your paper). Suppose that on Monday product A was produced. Find the probability that the machine is still operable by the morning of Thursday. Your model should have a state ”malfunction”, which cannot transition to any other state other than itself.
A fair die, with its faces numbered from 1 to 6, is one in which each number is equally likely to land face up when the die is rolled. On a fair die, the probability that the number 6 will land face up is 1/6. A group of students wanted to investigate a claim about manipulating a fair die so that it favors one outcome. The claim states that if a fair die is put into an oven and baked at 200°F for 10 minutes, the inside of the die will begin to melt. When the die cools, the inside will be solid again, but with more weight toward the bottom. This shift in weight will cause the face that was up when the die cooled to land up more often that the other faces. The students obtained a fair die and baked it according to the preceding directions. The die cooled with the number 6 face up. After the die cooled, they rolled the die 200 times, and the number 6 landed face up 43times. Let p represent the population proportion of times the number 6 will land face up on the baked die if the die could…
Suppose the weather moves between three states 1,2,3. It stays in state 1 for an exponentially distributed number of days with mean 3, then goes to state 2. It stays in state 2 for an exponentially distributed number of days with mean 4, then goes to state 3. It stays in state 3 for an exponentially distributed number of days with mean 1, then goes to state 1. Compute the long-term probability that the weather is in state 1. Write your answer as a decimal.
