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?

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 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)
