A manufacturer of COVID-19 vaccine is concerned about the quality of its formulation. As such, the batches of formulations are treated and inspected by three laboratory unit with probability rejection rates of 0.4, 0.05, and 0.18, respectively. Assuming that the process is done consequently for the three laboratory sections independently, evaluate the probability that a batch of COVID-19 vaccine formulations is accepted by the first and the second laboratory unit but is rejected on the last one.

A new vaccine against the coronavirus has been developed. The vaccine was tested on 10,000 volunteers and the study has shown that 65% of those tested do not get sick from the coronavirus. Unfortunately, the vaccine has side effects and in the study it was shown that the probability of getting side effects among those who did not get sick is 0.31, while the probability of getting side effects among those who got sick from corona despite vaccination is 0.15. (a) Draw an event tree and show on the event tree all the probabilities in branch points.
For each Bernoulli process, find the expected number of successes: 1. Number of trials = 30, Probability of success = 0.6. 2. Number of trials = 260, Probability of success = 1/10. 3. Number of trials = 45, Probability of success = 0.2. 4. Number of trials = 23, Probability of failure = 0.8. 5. Number of trials = 59, Probability of failure = 4/7.
In a May 2011 study, Federal University Hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, 71 healthy pregnant women were separated into a control group and an experimental group. Those in the experimental group engaged in aerobic water exercise throughout their pregnancy whereas those women in the control group did not. After giving birth the neonatal outcome of the children of all women in the study was recorded where a negative neonatal outcome was defined as a hospital stay of more than four days. A set of similar results is shown in the table Group Positive Neonatal Outcome Negative Neonatal Outcome Water Exercise 15 15 Control Group 12 18 A hypothesis test was carried out, yielding a p-value of 0.396. What is the correct interpretation? 1.Do not reject H0 since the p-value is greater than 0.05. 2. Reject H0 since the p-value is greater than 0.05. 3. Do not reject H0 since the p-value is less than 0.05. 4. Reject H0 since the p-value is less than 0.05. AND Based…
The U.S. government has devoted considerable funding to missile de fense research over the past 20 years. The latest development is the Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS), which uses satellite imagery to detect and track missiles (Chance, Summer 2005). The probability of an intruding object (e.g., a missile) will be detected on a flflight track by SBIRS is 0.8. Consider a sample of 15 simulated tracks, each with an intruding object. Let X equal the number of these tracks on which SBIRS detects the object. (a)Find P(X ≥ 8), the probability that SBIRS will detect the object on at least 8 tracks. (b) Find E(X) and interpret the result.
In a certain vaccination site, the service time for individuals before they were given a vaccine shot is modeled as a random variable X with mean µ = 90 seconds and variance o? = 9 minutes?. Assuming that the service times for each individual are independent and identically distributed, determine the probability of vaccinating 400 individuals within 9 hours.
carefully watched over a number of feedings. If it used its right paw more than half the time to activate the tube, it was defined to be “right-pawed." Observations of this sort showed that 67% of mice belonging to strain A/J are right-pawed. A similar protocol was followed on a sam- ple of thirty-five mice belonging to strain A/HeJ. Of those thirty-five, a total of eighteen were eventually classified as right-pawed. Test whether the proportion of right-pawed mice found in the A/HeJ sample was significantly differ- ent from what was known about the A/J strain. Use a two- sided alternative and let 0.05 be the probability associated with the critical region.
A computer repair shop has two work centers. The first center examines the computer to see what is wrong and the second center repairs the computer. Let and be random variables representing the lengths of time in minutes to examine a computer () and to repair a computer (). Assume and are independent random variables. Long-term history has shown the following mean and standard deviation for the two work centers: Examine computer, : = 27.3 minutes; = 7.5 minutes Repair computer, : = 90.1 minutes; = 15.3 minutes Let be a random variable representing the total time to examine and repair the computer. Suppose it costs $1.80 per minute to examine the computer and $2.83 per minute to repair the computer. Then is a random variable representing the service charges (without parts). Compute the mean and standard deviation of V. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
A researcher investigates whether cold medication effects mental alertness. It is known that scores on a standardized test containing a variety of problem-solving tasks are normally distributed with  = 64 and  = 8. A random sample of n = 16 teenage and a sample of n = 25 adults are given the drug and then tested. On average, the teenagers scored and average of ? = 58 and the adults scored and average of M = 65.5.a. Are the data sufficient to conclude that the medication significantly reduces mental alertness in teenagers? Test with  = .01.b. Are the data sufficient to conclude that the medication significantly increases mental alertness in adults? Test with  = .01.
In a quick audit of the tiered deployment of the Covid-19 vaccines in the state of California, the probability that a person has received a vaccine shot given that the person is elderly is 70 percent, whereas the probability that a person has received a vaccine shot given that the person is not elderly is 2 percent.? The proportion of Californians who are elderly is 0.111. Compute the probability that a person is elderly given that the person has received a vaccine shot.
A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of ibuprofen tablets and uses sampling plan to accept the shipmemts. They randomly select and test 27 tablets, and accept the entire batch if there is at most one tablet that does not meet the required specifications.Suppose a particular shipment of ibuprofen tablets has a 4% rate of defects. What is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted?
A company that manufactures aerospace parts is considering the possibility of investing in CMU (Cellular Manufacturing Unit). Top Management desires a good estimates distribution characteristic for the FW. There are three random variables i.e., they have uncertainties in their values. An economic analyst is hired to estimate the desired parameters and FW. He concludes that the scenario presented to him is suitable for Monto Carlo simulation because there are uncertainties in three variables and the direct analytical approach is impossible. The company has done a preliminary economic analysis of the situation and provided the analyst with the following estimates: Capital Investment Normally distributed with mean of $150,000 and standard deviation of $12,000 Useful Life Uniformly distributed with a minimum of 5 years and maximum 10 years Market value $25,000 (single outcome) Annual net cash flow $15,000 probability 0.9 $20,000 probability 0.5 $25,000 probability…
The billing department of a local department store sends monthly statements to the store’s customers. For those statements to reach the customer in a timely fashion, the addresses on the envelopes must be correct. Occasionally errors are made with the addresses. The billing department estimates that errors are made 2 percent of the time. For this continuous process, in which an error in the address is considered a nonconforming unit, what is the probability that in a sample size of eight, one address or less will be incorrect?
