A flood control levee is planned to be built to withstand any flood discharge up to the 75-year flood magnitude. The planned useful project life of the levee is 60 years. What is the probability that the levee will be overtopped exactly twice during its 60 years of project life? What is the risk associated with the proposed design of this flood control levee?

A machine consists of two components: A and B. The machine needs both components to operate. As soon as one component breaks the machine fails. The time until component A breaks is an exponential with rate λA = 0.4 per year. The time until component B breaks is an exponential with rate λB = 0.4 per year. The two components are independent. Compute the probability the machine remains functional for at least another 3 years.

A local fan club plans to invest 19,429 to host a soccer game. The total revenue from the sale of tickets is expected to worth 70,182. But if it rains on the day of the game, they won't be able to sell any tickets, and the club will lose all the money invested. If the weather forecast for the day of the game is with 15 chance of rain, calculate to see if there is going to be an expected profit or an expected loss. Note: Please avoid rounding numbers in the middle of your calculations.
The largest cat in North America is the Jaguar, they can sometimes be seen in the mountains of southern Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, (and less recently southern California). The rate of observances by humans is about 3/20 years. Assume we don't get Trump's border wall which would isolate the US population from the rest, and presumably cut off their chance of breeding. Chances of seeing 5 or more separate Jaguars within 5 years is 0.0011. a. Your cameras also produce pictures of wolf sized canids, either wolves or coy-wolves in the same region (very different times). Each year your cameras catch about 40 of these animals and about 30 cougars and about 400 bear and 800 feral Hogs. Assume that these numbers are all population rates for poisson. Given your camera Network catches a non human large animal (and the above list is all of them): Out of 200 large non human animals what is the probabilty that between 80 and 150 are feral hogs?
