A machine has four components, A, B, C, and D, set up in such a manner that all four parts must work for the machine to work properly. Assume the probability of one part working does not depend on the functionality of any of the other parts. Also assume that the probabilities of the individual parts working are P(A) = P(B) = 0.90, P(C) = 0.94, and P(D) = 0.93. Find the probability that the machine will NOT work properly.

A circuit operates as long as there is a functional path, which does not include any dysfunctional (broken) switches on its path, between 1 and 2. The probabilities that the switches A, B, and Y are not functioning or broken (Failure, F) are 12%, (22)%, and (13)%, respectively (as shown in the figure below). The switches function independently. What is the probability that the circuit operates successfully (Success, S) from 1 to 2?
A nuclear reactor becomes unstable if both safety mechanisms A and B fail. The probabilities of failure are P(A) =1/300 and P(B) = 1/200. Also, if A has failed, B is then more likely to fail: P(B/A)=1/100. a) What is the probability of the reactor going unstable? b) If B has failed, what is the probability of the reactor going unstable?
A circuit operates as long as there is a functional path, which does not include any dysfunctional (broken) switches on its path, between 1 and 2. The probabilities that the switches A, B, and Y are not functioning or broken (Failure, F) are 12%, (20+I)%, and (10+H)%, respectively (as shown in the figure below). The switches function independently. What is the probability that the circuit operates successfully (Success, S) from 1 to 2? H is 3 and I is 2

A manufacturing process produces, on the average, 3% defective items. The company ships 15 items in each box and wishes to guarantee no more than 1 defective item per box. If this guarantee accompanies each box, what is the probability that the box will fail to satisfy the guarantee?
The proprietor of Midland Construction Company has to decide between two projects. He estimates that the first project will yield a profit of $160,000 with a probability of 0.7 or a profit of $120,000 with a probability of 0.3; the second project will yield a profit of $220,000 with a probability of 0.6 or a profit of $70,000 with a probability of 0.4.Find the expected profit for each project. first project $ second project $ Which project should the proprietor choose if he wants to maximize his expected profit? first project second project
Dace is a political analyst for a presidential candidate (Aspirant A) with two strong competitors (Aspirants B and C). She analyzed that B and C have exactly the same chance of winning a seat while A has twice the chance of either B and C. With the given information, what is the chance of A in winning.
Brian, a landscape architect, submitted a bid on each of three home landscaping projects. He estimates that the probabilities of winning the bid on Project A, Project B, and Project C are 0.7, 0.5, and 0.2, respectively. Assume that the probability of winning a bid on one of the three projects is independent of winning or losing the bids on the other two projects. Find the probability that Brian will experience the following. (a) Win all three of the bids (b) Win exactly two of the bids (c) Win exactly one bid
Find P(A or B or C) for the given probabilities. P(A) = 0.34, P(B) = 0.25, P(C) = 0.16 P(A and B) = 0.11, P(A and C) = 0.03, P(B and C) = 0.07 P(A and B and C) = 0.01 P(A or B or C) =
In a certain community, eight percent of all adults over age 50 have diabetes. If a health service in this community correctly diagnosis 95% of all persons with diabetes as having the disease and incorrectly diagnoses ten percent of all persons without diabetes as having the disease, find the probabilities that: The health service will diagnose an adult over age 50 as having diabetes. A person over 50 diagnosed by the health service as having diabetes actually has the disease.
A machine has four components, A, B, C, and D, set up in such a manner that all four parts must work for the machine to work properly. Assume the probability of one part working does not depend on the functionality of any of the other parts. Also assume that the probabilities of the individual parts working are P(A) = P(B) = 0.95, P(C) = 0.91, and P(D) = 0.96. Find the probability that at least one of the four parts will work. Round to six decimal places.
The percentage of people in the population who have a certain disease is 22%. There is a test for the disease that is fairly accurate. Of the people who have the disease who take the test, it reports that 6% of them do not have the disease. Of the people who do not have the disease who take the test, it reports that 6% of them have the disease. Suppose that a person takes the test and it reports that they have the disease. Compute the probability that the person does not have the disease. Round your answer to two decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) 0 X Ś
