A box contains 7 nine-volt transistor batteries of which two are known to be defective. The batteries are selected one at a time without replacement and tested until a non-defective one is found. (i) Calculate the probability that three batteries are tested. (ii) What is the probability the second selection is defective given that the first is nondefective?

15 The probability of a randomly selected adult in one country being infected with a certain virus is 0.005. In tests for the virus, blood samples from 15 people are combined. What is the probability that the combined sample tests positive for the virus? Is it unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive? Note that the combined sample tests positive if at least one person has the virus. The probability that the combined sample will test positive is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Is it unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive? O A. It is not unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the combined sample will test positive is greater than 0.05. OB. It is unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the combined sample will test positive is greater than 0.05. OC. It is not unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the combined sample will…
Q: A certain virus infects one in every 20 people. A test used to detect the virus in a person delivers positive outcome at 85% accuracy for infected persons. Moreover, it provides negative outcome for healthy persons at 95% accuracy. Compute followings: Find the probability that a person has the virus given that his test outcome is positive. Find the probability that a person does not have the virus given that his test outcome is negative. Find the probability that a person has the virus given that his test outcome is negative.

Suppose you just received a shipment of twelve televisions. Three of the televisions are defective. If two televisions are randomly selected, compute the probability that both televisions work. What is the probability at least one of the two televisions does not work? The probability that both televisions work is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
In a survey of U.S. adults with a sample size of 2082, 370 said Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II. Two U.S. adults are selected at random from this sample without replacement. Complete parts (a) through (d). (a) Find the probability that both adults say Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II. The probability that both adults say Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II is O. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (b) Find the probability that neither adult says Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II. The probability that neither adult says Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) Find the probability that at least one of the two adults says Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II. The probability that at least one of the two adults says Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II is.…
46 employees in an office wear eyeglasses. 34 have single-vision correction, and 12 wear bifocals. If two employees are selected at random from this group, what is the probability that both of them wear bifocals? What is the probability that both have single-vision correction? Round your answers to four decimal places. P(both employees wear bifocals)= i 0.1304 P(both employees have single-vision correction)= i 0.3736
What is the probability of finding an H2O based compound with a blue label in a storage facility of 1,000 vials. We know there are 22 vials of H2O based compound in the facility, and that 800 of the total number of vials in the facility have blue labels.
The probability that a person in the United States has type B+ blood is 8%. Five unrelated people in the United States are selected at random. Complete parts (a) through (d). (a) Find the probability that all five have type B+ blood. The probability that all five have type B+ blood is nothing. (Round to six decimal places as needed.) (b) Find the probability that none of the five have type B+ blood. The probability that none of the five have type B+ blood is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) Find the probability that at least one of the five has type B+ blood. The probability that at least one of the five has type B+ blood is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (d) Which of the events can be considered unusual? Explain. Select all that apply. A. The event in part (a) is unusual because its probability is less than or equal to 0.05. B. The event in part (b) is unusual because its probability is…

According to recent reports, currently 39% of the population of NC (adults and children) has been fully vaccinated against Covid. Suppose of random sample of 400 individuals from the population of NC is selected. Let x represent the number in the sample who are fully vaccinated. d. Find the probability that 130 or fewer in the sample have been fully vaccinated. Round to 4 decimal places. Would this result be unusual? Explain.
Nissa is randomly pulling the medical records of a hospital's patients and collecting the records of those who have multiple stays at this hospital. Assume that 27% of all patients who have ever stayed at this hospital have multiple stays. What is the probability that the first multiple stays patient record that Nissa comes across is the fourth one she pulls? Use a TI-83, TI-83 Plus, or TI-84 calculator to find the probability. • Round your answer to three decimal places.
A boy uses a homemade metal detector to look for valuable metal objects on a beach. The machine isn't perfect-it identifies only 98% of the metal objects over which it passes, and it identifies 4% of the nonmetallic objects over which it passes. Suppose that 25% of the objects that the machine passes over are metal. Find the probability that the boy has found a metal object when he receives a signal from the machine. Show your work.
Jack has just been given a ten-question multiple choice quiz in history class. Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct. Since Jack has not attended class recently, he does not know any of the answers. Assuming Jack guesses randomly on all ten questions, find the probability that he will answer six or more of the questions correctly and avoid an F.
