A particle may contain either or both of twomolecules, A and B. In a laboratory, 30% of theparticles contain molecule A but not B (with amixture of other molecules not specified), 35%of the particles contain molecule B but not A,and 5% contain both A and B. Supposed that ascientist needs a particle with molecule B fortesting, what is the probability that a particlewith both molecules A and B will be chosen?Select the correct response:none of these0.2080.1250.1030.675

A student will take two trainee selection exams for companies A and B, respectively. He estimates the probability that he will pass the exam.Company A's selection rate is 2/3. In company B, the probability of approval is 3/4. Finally, the probability of being approved in both processes simultaneously is of 50%. Under these conditions, what is the probability of passing only one of the companies?
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

Jack has just been given a ten-question multiple choice quiz in history class. Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct. Since Jack has not attended class recently, he does not know any of the answers. Assuming Jack guesses randomly on all ten questions, find the probability that he will answer six or more of the questions correctly and avoid an F.

Testing for a disease can be made more efficient by combining samples. If the samples from six people are combined and the mixture tests negative, then all six samples are negative. On the other hand, one positive sample will always test positive, no matter how many negative samples it is mixed with. Assuming the probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.1, find the probability of a positive result for six samples combined into one mixture. 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.) ~
