A manufacturer of medical equipment is concerned about the quality of its valves. Batches of valves are processed by three different departments having rejection rates of 0.05, 0.20, and 0.12, respectively. The inspections by the three departments are sequential and independent. What is the probability that a batch of valves survives the first departmental inspection but is rejected by the second department?

4. If a randomly chosen athlete tests negative, what’s the probability that the student took a banned substance? Explain why it makes sense for the drug-testing process to be designed so that this probability is less than the one you found in Question 3.5. The district decides to immediately retest any athlete who tests positive. Assume that the results of an athlete’s two tests are independent. Find the probability that a student who gets a positive result on both tests actually took a banned substance. Based on your answer, do you think that an athlete who tests positive twice should be suspended from athletic competition for a year? Why or why not?
City Parking Systems, Inc., operates a parking garage in a downtown area. During the rush hour, cars arrive at the garage at a rate of 24 every 60 minutes. Three garage attendants can handle this level of arrivals, but not much more. What is the probability of a. 20 arrivals in the next hour and More than 4 arrivals in any 10-minute interval, which would require the help of another garage attendant?
In a recent year, the Better Business Bureau settled 75% of complaints they received. You have been hired by the Bureau to investigate complaints this year involving computer stores. You plan to select a random sample of complaints to estimate the proportion of complaints the Bureau is able to settle. Suppose your sample size is 299. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be at least 5 percent more than the population proportion?

A drug test facility uses a test that has a 1% false negative rate, and a 2% false positive rate. It is estimated that 4% of the population is taking this drug. If a random person who tested positive is chosen, what is the probability that they are actually taking the drug?
A professional tennis player claims to get 90% of her second serves in. In a recent match, the player missed 5 of her first 20 second serves. Is this a surprising result if the player's claim is true? Assume that the player has a 0.10 probability of missing each second serve. We want to carry out a simulation to estimate the probability that she would miss 5 or more of her first 20 second serves. The dotplot displays the number of second serves missed by the player out of the first 20 second serves in 100 simulated matches. ▪………………………. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●● A●●●●●●●● …………….. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Number of missed serves in simulated match 7 Is there convincing evidence that the player misses more than 10% of her second serves? Why or why not? No, there is not convincing evidence that the player misses more than 10% of her second serves. Missing 5 out of 20 is better than expected. No, there is not convincing evidence that the player misses more than 10% of her second serves. Assuming the player makes…

Aurah wanted to know the distribution of the number of students with blood type O. She randomly selected six students and recorded their blood type. Suppose the probability of a student having blood type O is 0.45 and X be the number of students with blood type O. Which of the following is(are) TRUE about the experiment? A. It is a Bernoulli experiment with probability of success equal to 0.45B. The success in this experiment is observing six students with blood type O.C. X-Bin(6.0.45)D. A single trial of the experiment corresponds to six students.
