A printer has five book binding machines. For each machine, the table below gives the proportion of the total book produc that it binds and the probability that the machine produces defective binding: Proportion of Books Bound 20% Probability of Defective Binding 3% 2% Machine Machine 1 Machine 2 10% 2% 4% Machine 3 30% Machine 4 10% Machine 5 30% 1% For instance, Machine 1 binds 20% of ALL books and produces a defective binding with probability of 0.03-3%. Suppose that one of the books is selected at random. (a) What is the probability that this random book was bound by Machine 1? (b) What is the probability that this random book has defective binding? om hook was hound by Machine 1 AND has defective binding?

A jet fighter consists of two engines. The probability that the second engine functions in a satisfactory manner during its design life is 0.96, and the probability that at least one if the two engines does so is 0.98 and the probability that both engine do so is 0.935. Given that the first engine functions in a satisfactory manner throughout its design life, what is the probability that the second one also?

In 2013, the total sales from 3 different car production companies was 606,334 cars or light trucks. The probability that the vehicle was made by Company A was 0.386, by Company B 0.350, and by Company C 0.258. Additionally, the probability that a Company A vehicle sold was a car was 0.379, a Company B vehicle sold was a car was 0.370, and a Company C vehicle sold was a car was 0.332. Given the vehicle sold was a car, find the probability it was made by Company A. The probability a vehicle was made by Company A, given it was a car is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
