A manufacturer knows that on average 20% of toasters produced require repairs within 1 year after they are sold. When 18 toasters are randomly selected, find the smallest number x and largest number y such that (a) the probability that at least x of them will require repairs is less than 0.58; (b) the probability that at least y of them will not require repairs is greater than 0.84.

In a jury trial, suppose the probability the defendant is convicted given guilt, is 0.95, and the probability the defendant is acquitted given innocence is 0.95. Suppose 90% of defendants are truly guilty. Given that the defendant is convicted, find the probability that he was actually guilty.
Many casinos have a game called the Big Six Money Wheel, which has 54 slots in which are displayed a Joker, the casino logo, and various dollar amounts, as shown in the table at the top of the next column. Players may bet on the Joker, the casino logo, or one or more dollar denominations. The wheel is spun and if the wheel stops on the same place as the player's bet, the player wins that amount for each dollar bet. Denomination Number of slots $40 (Joker) 1 $40 (Casino logo) 1 $20 2 $10 4 $5 7 $2 15 $1 24 If a player bets $4 on the $10 denomination, find the player's expectation.

In a population of 10,000, there are 5000 nonsmokers, 2500 smokers of one pack or less per day, and 2500 smokers of more than one pack per day. During any month, there is a 5% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking a pack or less per day, and a 4% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke a pack or less per day, there is a 10% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of increasing to more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke more than a pack per day, there is a 9% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of dropping to a pack or less per day. How many people will be in each group in 1 month, in 2 months, and in 1 year? (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)(a) in 1 month:nonsmokers:1 pack/day or less:more than 1 pack/day:(b) in 2 months:nonsmokers:1 pack/day or less:more than 1 pack/day:(c) in 1 year:nonsmokers:1 pack/day or less:more than 1 pack/day:
A jet fighter consists of two engines. The probability that the second engine functions in a satisfactory manner during its design life is 0.97, and the probability that at least one if the two engines does so is 0.975 and the probability that both engine do so is 0.93. Given that the first engine functions in a satisfactory manner throughout its design life, what is the probability that the second one also?

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
On the average the traffic pattern at an intersection is as follows: • Twice as many cars go through as the number of vans, bicycles and trucks combined. • Twice as many vans go through as the number of bicycles and trucks combined. • Half as many trucks go through as the number of bicycles. Calculate the probability that the next vehicle to go through is a truck or a car. (19/27)
Consider three classes (I, II and III) consisting of 30, 25, and 45 students. Suppose a student is selected from class I, then he has 10% chance to make an A. Assume that these probabilities for the class II and III are 15% and 20% respectively. If a student is selected randomly and has an A, what is the probability that he is from class III. Enter your answer to the nearest FOUR decimal places. 0.5715
Semiconductor lasers used in optical storage products require higher power levels for write operations than for read operations. High-power-level operations lower the useful life of the laser. Lasers in products used for backup of higher-speed magnetic disks primarily write, and the probability that the useful life exceeds five years is 0.0106. Lasers that are in products that are used for main storage spend approximately an equal amount of time reading and writing, and the probability that the useful life does not exceed five years is 0.5847. Now, 0.7486 of the products from a manufacturer are used for backup, while the remaining manufacturer's products are used for main storage. What is the probability that a laser that failed before five years came from a product used for backup? Select one: O a. 0.87645253 b. 0.01780615 c. 1.07899181 d. 0.83440299
