A manufacturer of car crankshafts is attempting to determine the likelihood of faulty samples in a lot that comprises exactly 10% defective and 90% good product. The probability that any given sample will be a defect is 0.2, and the probability that any given sample will be satisfactory is 0.8. if there are two samples drawn. Calculate the probability of the possible combinations.

To reduce laboratory costs, water samples from five public swimming pools are combined for one test for the presence of bacteria. Further testing is done only if the combined sample tests positive. Based on past results, there is a 0.004 probability of finding bacteria in a public swimming area. Find the probability that a combined sample from five public swimming areas will reveal the presence of bacteria. 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.)
Some electronic devices are better used than new: The failure rate is higher when they are new than when they are six months old. For example, 43.00% of the personal music players of a particular brand have a flaw. If the player has the flaw, it dies in the first six months. If it does not have this flaw, then only 3.000% fail in the first six months. Yours died after you had it for three months. What are the chances that it has this flaw?
A suspension bridge is located in an earthquake region. When an earthquake occurs, the probability that the bridge will collapse depends on the magnitude of the earthquake and also on the condition of the cables. The cables are either good or bad with relative chances of 4 to 1. The odds of having a strong or weak magnitude earthquake are 3 to 2. The bridge will definitely collapse if a strong earthquake occurs. The bridge will survive a weak earthquake if the cables are good. If the cables are bad, it will have a 50% chance of survival. What is the probability that the bridge will collapse during an earthquake? O a. 0.64 O b. 0,03 Oc.0.28 O d. 0.71 e. 0.0084
A production of 20 fuses is received by the store. It is known that 4 of the fuses are defective. The quality control engineer randomly selected three of the fuses from the production run. Find the probability that two of the fuses selected are defective.
A local jam production company is confident that 60% of the population will like its new grapefruit jelly. If 200 persons taste the new grapefruit jelly, determine the number of persons who are expected to like it. From a random sample of 10 persons who tasted the new grapefruit jelly, calculate the probability that less than two will like it.
A psychologist believes that 65% of male drivers when lost continue to drive hoping to find the location they seek rather than ask directions. To examine this belief, he took a random sample of 350 male drivers and asked each what they did when lost. Assume that the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of male drivers who continue driving is at least approximately normal. If the belief is true, determine the probability that less than 60% said they continue driving. Show your work below
