A company manufactures transistors in four factories producing 10%, 30%, 40% and 20% of the parts respectively. Due to their respective age and level of standards, factories produce defective parts at frequencies different, i.e. 0.15, 0.20, 0.08 and 0.10. If we take a part at random from among those that are defective, what is the probability that it comes from factory 3?

Deer ticks can carry both Lyme disease and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE). In a study of ticks in the Midwest, it was found that 15 % carried Lyme disease, while 11 % carried HGE. In addition, of the ticks with either Lyme disease or HGE, 16 % carried both diseases. (a) What is the probability P[L H] that a tick carrries both Lyme disease (L) and HGE (H)? P[LH] = (b) What is the conditional probability that a tick carries HGE, given that it has Lyme disease? P[H|L] =
An experiment consists of rolling a weighted die. The probability of rolling each number is: Pr[1]=0.05Pr[1]=0.05, Pr[2]=0.25Pr[2]=0.25, Pr[3]=0.1Pr[3]=0.1, Pr[4]=0.15Pr[4]=0.15, Pr[5]=0.2Pr[5]=0.2, and Pr[6]=0.25Pr[6]=0.25. On the first roll, you record if the number is Small (1,2) or Large (3,4,5,6). If the first number is Small, then on the second roll you record if the number is a 1 or not. If the first number is Large, on the second roll you record whether the number is Small or not. So, some typical outcomes would be S1 (small number rolled, then 1) or LL (large number rolled, then another large number). Draw a tree diagram and use it to answer the following questions. (1) What is Pr[S1]? (2) What is Pr[LL]? (3) What is Pr[(not1)onsecondroll|Sonfirstroll]? (4) What is Pr[S on second roll|L on first roll]?

An organization for people with high IQ, and eligibility requires an IQ above 131.5. Suppose the IQ scores are normally distributed with a mean of 102.5 and standard deviation of 16.1. If someone wants to join the organization, what is the probability that he or she meets the organization’s requirement?
Question 2: You are appointed as a quality engineer in a telecommunication company. Your manager asks you to enhance the company quality of service, by increasing the success rate for customers to get hold of tech support representatives. Assume that customers will call three times is an attempt to ask for tech support then give up. You want to make sure that you are able to serve at least 97% of the people who ask for tech support. Let p be the probability that a caller get hold of a tech support representative. What is the minimum value of p necessary to meet your goal?
Question 9 A batch of 400 LEDS contains 7 that are defective. This is known to be the long-term average for the production. The company sells boxes with 50 LEDS in each box. (a) What is the probability there are 1 or more defective bulbs in a box? (b) If three LEDS are selected at random from a box, what is the probability that the third one selected is defective given that the first one selected was not defective and the second one selected was defective? (c) Boxes are returned if 3 or more are defective. What is the probably a box will be returned?
Question 6 Company records show that the proportion of defective parts has historically been 5%, however a quality control engineer believes that due to budget cuts these numbers have increased. To test this claim a random sample of N = 15 parts will be taken and if more than two defective parts are found the inspector will conclude that the proportion of defective parts has increases. Calculate the probability of the type one error. 18.5% 81.5% О 3.6% O 96.4%
