A company has two types of machines (A and B) to manufacture the same exact product. The manufacturing time of each product is independent of the others and can be modeled as an exponential random variable with λA = 2 items per day for Machine A and λB = 3 items per day for Machine B. Assume the idle time of each machine to be zero. If the first 3 products are manufactured by machine A, what is the probability that the 4th item is manufactured by machine B?

A company buys microchips from three suppliers I, II and III. Supplier I has a record of providing microchips that contain 10% defective; supplier a defective rate of 5% and supplier III has a defective rate of 3%. Suppose 10%, 40% and 50% of the current supply came from suppliers I, II and III, respectively. If a randomly selected microchip is defective, what is the probability that it came from supplier II?

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), up to 20% of Americans contract the influenza virus each year, and approximately 3% of all births in the United States result in birth defects each year. Consider two randomly selected Americans and assume that these two randomly selected Americans are independent of each other. The probability that neither of these two randomly selected Americans will contract the influenza virus in a given year is

Testing for a disease can be made more efficient by combining samples. If the samples from six people are combined and the mixture tests negative, then all six samples are negative. On the other hand, one positive sample will always test positive, no matter how many negative samples it is mixed with. Assuming the probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.05, find the probability of a positive result for six samples combined into one mixture. Is the probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely necessary? The probability of a positive test result is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
