A box contains resistors, where 8% of the resistors are deficient because their resistance values are not meeting specifications written on the box. Operators of the workshop are testing resistors before the resistors are soldered to an electrical circuit. The operators select deficient resistors with a probability of 0.98. However, the operator can incorrectly check a good resistor and assume that it is deficient with a probability of 0.02. If a resistor is selected as deficient after it was tested by an operator, what is the probability that the resistor is actually unusable for the electrical circuit? (Use Bayes' Formula)

It has been reported that 5% of all cars on the highway are traveling at speeds in excess of 70mph. If the speeds of four random auromobiles are measured via radar what is the probability that at least one car is going over 70 mph
There are 100 multiple-choice question on exam, each having responses a, b, c, d. suppose that a student has 75% chance to answer each qustion correctly and all the answers are independent. if the student needs to answer at least 40 questions to pass, what is the probability that the student passes? Use normal approximation.
A sensor is used to monitor the performance of a nuclear reactor. The sensor accurately reflects the state of the reactor with a probability of .97. But with a probability of .02, it gives a false alarm (by reporting excessive radiation even though the reactor is performing normally), and with a probability of .01, it misses excessive radiation (by failing to report excessive radiation even though the reactor is performing abnormally). What is the probability that a sensor will give an incorrect report, that is, either a false alarm or a miss? To reduce costly shutdowns caused by false alarms, management introduces a second completely independent sensor, and the reactor is shut down only when both sensors report excessive radiation. (According to this perspective, solitary reports of excessive radiation should be viewed as false alarms and ignored, since both sensors provide accurate information much of the time.) What is the new probability that the reactor will be shut down…
A factory uses a specific machine to produce pieces. From previous data, we know that 97% of the time the machine is set up correctly. If this is the case, it produces 95% acceptable (non-defective) pieces. However, if it is not set up correctly, it produces only 40% of acceptable pieces Q23 Given that the selected piece is non-defective, what is the probability that the machine is set up correctly? Your answer should be in % and have two digits after the period. So, if your answer is 50.023%, enter 50.02. Your Answer:
A dowser has correctly located water for a well 1 out of 2 times in Jones County. In Jones County, someone who is just guessing has a 40% chance of locating water for a well. Does this sample provide sufficient evidence that the dowser can locate water and is not just guessing?
Physicians at a clinic gave what they thought were drugs to 890890 asthma, ulcer, and herpes patients. Although the doctors later learned that the drugs were really placebos, 5555 % of the patients reported an improved condition. Assume that if the placebo is ineffective, the probability of a patients condition improving is 0.530.53. For the hypotheses that the proportion of improving is 0.530.53 against that it is >0.53>0.53, find the p-value. ?=p=

Anita's, a fast-food chain specializing in hot dogs and garlic fries, can monitor how many customers at its restaurants want to eat (in addition to ordering takeout) to decide whether or not to build a location to play in the city. . Including the presence of Sammy the mascot in local locations, stores and franchises, Anita reports that 45% of her customers order food for delivery. If this ratio is true, what is the probability that a random sample of 3 of Anita's 4 customers will order food? Round your response to at least three decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
Suppose that more than a decade ago high levels of lead in the blood put 82% of children atrisk. A concerted effort was made to remove lead from the environment. Suppose, accordingto a survey, only 9% of children in the United States are at risk of high blood-lead levels. In arandom sample of 100 children taken more than a decade ago, what is the probability that 70or more had high blood-lead levels? Group of answer choices 0.867 0.839 1.000 0.000 0.117
