A certain system is based on two indeperndent modules, A and B. A failure of any one of these modules causes a failre of the whole system. The lifetime of cach module has Exponential distribution with the following parameters. Modules A's lifetime. A - 0.100 years Modules B's lifetime: A = 0.250 years a. What is the probability that the system works at least 12 years without a failure? b. Given that the system failed during the first 12 years, what is the probability that it failed due to the failure of component 8 (but not component A)? Write your answers by providing 3 digits after the decimal point.

QUESTION 3 H Profits for a skiing resort depends on how much snow falls in winter. The probability distribution of snowfall and resulting profitability is as follows: More than 40 inches K120 000 40% 20 to 40 inches K40 000 20% Less than 20 inches -K40 000 40% The owner receives an offer from a hotel chain to lease the resort at a guaranteed profit of K45 000 for the season. He is also considering leasing snow making equipment which would allow the resort to operate full-time regardless of the amount of natural snow fall which would ensure profit of K120 000 minus the cost of leasing and operating the snow equipment. The leasing cost is K12 000 per season regardless of usage. Operating cost will be K10 000 for natural snowfall of more than 40 inches, K50 000 for between 20 and 40 inches and K90 000 if it is less than 20 inches. Required: Construct a decision tree…

QUESTION 1 The same scenario is used for all questions. New parents in a little town buy two major brands of infant formulas, labeled A and B. After some intensive study, a marketing researcher for one of the manufacturers found that the probability of parents purchasing A or B is based on the parents' most recent purchase. Suppose that the following transition probabilities are appropriate O Probabilities of Parents Purchasing A or B From A To A To B O A B B Which of the following is the correct two period tree diagram for a customer who last purchased Brand A?

Question 4 Suppose that in a population of twins, males (M) and females (F) are equally likely to occur and that the probability that twins are identical is 0. If twins are not identical, their genders are independent (if they are identical, their genders are the same). (i) Show that, ignoring birth order, P(MM) = P(FF) = (1+0)/4 and P(MF) = (1–0)/2. (ii) Suppose that n twins are sampled. It is found that n₁ are MM, n2 are FF, and në are MF, but it is not known which twins are identical. Find the maximum likelihood estimator of 0.
2. A Florida coastal community experiences a population increase during the winter months with seasonal residents arriving from northern states and Canada. The post office counter has three work stations. The service rate of each postal clerk is 0.75 customer per minute. The anticipated arrival rate is 1.2 customers per minute. Assume that customer arrivals follow a Poisson probability distribution, with an arrival and that service times follow an exponential probability distribution. Determine the following operating characteristics for the system:
The lifetime of a bulb is modeled as a Poisson variable. You have two bulbs types A andB with expected lifetime 0.25 years and 0.5 years, respectively. When a bulb’s life ends, it stops working. You start with new bulb of type A at the start of the year. When it stopsworking, you replace it with a bulb of type B. When it breaks, you replace with a type Abulb, then a type B bulb, and so on.1. Find the expected total illumination time (in years), given you do exactly 3 bulb re-placements2. Your replacements are now probabilistic. If your current bulb breaks, you replaceit with a bulb of type A with probability p, and with type B with probability (1 –p). Find the expected total illumination time (in years), given you do exactly n bulbreplacements, and start with bulb of type A

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.
