A radar center consists of two units operating independently. The probability that one of the units detects an incoming missile is 0.99, and the probability that the other unit detects it is 0.95. What is the probability that (i) both units will detect? (ii) at least one will detect? (iii) neither will detect?

A gasoline manufacturer has two big projects worldwide, one is in Southeast Asia and the other one is along Africa. The probability of the project in Southeast Asia being successful is 40% and that of the project in Africa is 70%. Suppose that the success of the two projects are independent of each other, find the probability that only the Southeast Asian project succeed given that at least one of the two projects is successful. Select the correct response: 30% none of these 80% 45% 15%
A class contains 40 students. The probability of failing in one of the courses for each student is 0.03, but there is no chance to fail in more than one course. You know that a student failed in a course, the probability that the fail reason in non-attendance is 0.04. All other fail reasons are low average. The examinations are private, so the results are mutually independent. Let X and Y be the numbers of failed students due to non-attendance and due to low average, respectively, in that class this semester. Find the joint MGF
You purchase a brand new car for $17,000 and insure it. The policy pays 78% of the car's value if there is an issue with the engine or 30% of the car's value if there is an issue with the speaker system. The probability of an issue with the engine is 0.009, and the probability there is an issue with the speaker system is 0.02. The premium for the policy is p. Let X be the insurance company's net gain from this policy. (a) Create a probability distribution for X, using p to represent the premium on the policy. Enter the possible values of X in ascending order from left to right. X P(X)
The manager at the local auto shop has found that the probability that a car brought into the shop requires an oil change is 0.65, the probability that a car brought into the shop requires brake repair is 0.35, and the probability that a car requires both an oil change and brake repair is 0.24. For a car brought into the shop, determine the probability that the car will require an oil change or brake repair. The probability that the car requires an oil change or brake repair is (Type an integer or a decimal.)
You purchase a brand new car for $15,000 and insure it.

Chris has just received test results from a patient named Cardi who is infected with a mystery disease. The accuracy of the test is as follows:The probability the test will be positive if Cardi is infected is p, and the probability the test will be positive if Cardi is not infected is q. The proportion of the population that is infected is π. The test comes back positive. Chris has no information about the disease and related symptoms. Suppose Chris does not have a true gasp of the base rates. Chris thinks that the base rate is γπ (gamma*pi), with γ is less than or equal to π. This is to make sure that Chris's belief about the prevalance of the mystery disease is no more than 100%. If p=0.95, 1=0.05, π=1, what must be the value of γ if Chris thinks that the probability Cardi has the disease is 0.9? A. 3.57 B. 0.5 C. 1.05 D. 3.214 Please provide explanation
