A biomedical research company produces 47% of its insulin at a plant in Kansas City, and the remainder is produced at a plant in Jefferson City. Quality control has shown that 0.75% of the insulin produced at the plant in Kansas City is defective, while 1%of the insulin produced at the plant in Jefferson City is defective. What is the probability that a randomly chosen unit of insulin came from the plant in Jefferson City given that it is defective?

Philips Electronics is experimenting with the manufacture of a new type of electric bulb that is very difficult to mass produce at an acceptable quality level. Every hour the Quality Control Manager (QCM) takes a random sample of 6 bulbs produced on the assembly line and tests them for their quality sequentially. Probability that any one bulb is defective is considered to be 0.12. The QCM wants to know the probability of finding 3, 4, or 5. What is the probability of finding 3, 4, or 5 defectives in a random sample of 6 electric bulbs?NOTE: DONOT SOLVE ON EXCEL
Electrical engineers recognize that high neutral current in computer power systems is a potential problem. A survey of computer power system load currents at U.S. sites found that 10% of the sites had high neutral to full-load current ratios (IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications). If a random sample of five computer power systems is selected from a large number of sites in the country, what is the probability that exactly three will have a high neutral to full-current load ratio?
When functioning correctly, a machine produces switches with a 0.8% defective rate. Find the probability that a batch of 1,000 switches contains 14 or more defective switches (assuming that the machine functions correctly, i.e., the population defective rate is 0.8%). Suppose a batch of 1,000 switches were inspected when completed, and 14 defective switches were found. Based on your answer to part a, does this sample imply that the machine needs adjustment? Explain your answer.
A lightbulb manufacturer ships large consignments of lightbulbs to big industrial users. When the production process is functioning comectly, which is 90% of the time, 15% of all bulbs produced are defective. However, the process is susceptible to an occasional malfunction, leading to a defective rate of 30%. If a defective bub is found, what is the probability that the process is functioning correctly? If a nondefective bulb is found, what is the probability that the process is operating comectly? If a defective bulb is found, the probability that the process is functioning correctly is (Round to three decimal places as needed) CUP
Deer ticks can carry both Lyme disease and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE). In a study of ticks in the Midwest, it was found that 15 % carried Lyme disease, while 11 % carried HGE. In addition, of the ticks with either Lyme disease or HGE, 16 % carried both diseases. (a) What is the probability P[L H] that a tick carrries both Lyme disease (L) and HGE (H)? P[LH] = (b) What is the conditional probability that a tick carries HGE, given that it has Lyme disease? P[H|L] =
The Watts New Lightbulb Corporation ships large consignments of lightbulbs to big industrial users. When the production process is functioning correctly, which is 90% of the time, 10% of all bulbs produced are defective. However, the process is susceptible to an occasional malfunction, leading to a defective rate of 50%. If a defective bulb is found, what is the probability that the process is functioning correctly? If a nondefective bulb is found, what is the probability that the process is operating correctly?
A state government hired a contractor for a road-construction project. The contractor's type, its cost efficienciency, is unknown to the government. There is 2/3 probability of the its construction cost being 3 (billion dollars per lane) and 1/3 probability of the cost being 5. More lanes yield more social benefit in the form of faster travel and fewer accidents. The social value V (measured in billions of dollars) from having N lanes on the highway is: V-15N-N?/2. The government is interested in choose N and writing a contract to maximize the benefit to the state (V) net of the fee paid to the contractor (call it F); G-V-F. Your goal as a government official is to design a pair of contracts to separate the types of contractor. You want the contractor to choose "Contract L: Build N lanes and get paid RL dollars" if its cost type is low cost of $3 (billion dollars per lane) and to choose "Contract H: Build NH lanes and get paid RH dollars" if its cost type is high cost $5 (billion…
A small business is studying the number of customers that enter the store. They record the number of customers entering every hour for three days, and find that 27% of the time two customers enter the store in an hour, 28% of the time of the time one customer enters the store in an hour, and the remainder of the time no one enters the store in an hour. What is the expected number of customers per hour?
A report to Health Canada indicated that an intensive education program was used in an attempt to lower the rate of lung cancer development among females. After running the program, a long-term follow-up study of 40a females was conducted, which revealed the current rate of lung cancer development is 7.a %. (a=1) Find the probability that 10 or less females have lung cancer development.
A particular automatic sprinkler system has two different types of activation devices for each sprinkler head. One type has a reliability of 0.75; that is, the probability that it will activate the sprinkler when it should is 0.75. The other type, which operates independently of the first type, has a reliability of 0.85. If either device is triggered, the sprinkler will activate. Suppose a fire starts near a sprinkler head. (provide your answer in four decimal numbers) (i) What is the probability that the sprinkler head will be activated? (1.5) (ii) What is the probability that the sprinkler head will not be activated? (1.5) (iii) What is the probability that both activation devices will work properly? (1.5) (iv) What is the probability that only the device with reliability 0.75 will work properly? (1.5)
