A robot can either be in one of two locations: L_1 (which does not have a window) or L_2 (which has a window). The robot doesn't know exactly where it is and it represents this uncertainty by keeping track of two probabilities: P(L_1) and P(L_2). Based on all past observations, the robot thinks that there is a 0.63 probability it is in L_1 and a 0.37 probability that it is in L_2. The robot has a single camera. The robot observes observes a window through its camera, and although there is only a window in L_2, it can't conclude with certainty that it is in fact in L_2, since its image recognition algorithm is not perfect. The probability of observing a window given there is no window at its location is 0.1, and the probability of observing a window given there is a window is 0.95. After incorporating the observation of a window, what are the robot's new probabilities for being in L_1? Report your answer to 3 decimal places.

In a large metropolitan city, the probabilities associated with the number of homicides on any given day are as follows: P(0 homicides)=0.40 P(1 homicide) = 0.25 P(2 homicides) = 0.20 P(3 homicides)= 0.15 In On a randomly selected day, what is the probability of at least one homicide? In What is the probability of no homicides on both of 2 randomly selected days? In What is the probability of at least one homicide in 3 randomly selected days?
Engineers in charge of maintaining our nuclear fleet must continually check for corrosion inside the pipes that are part of the cooling systems. The inside condition of the pipes cannot be observed directly but a non-destructive test can give an indication of possible corrosion. This test not infallible. The test has probability 0.9 of detecting corrosion when it is present but it also has probability 0.1 of falsely indicating internal corrosion. Suppose the probability that any section of pipe has internal corrosion is 0.1. What is the probability that a section of pipe has internal corrosion?
The probability that Taylor Swift is Austin’s favorite music artist is .10. The probability that he will go to one of her concerts is .84. However, the probability that he does not like Taylor Swift and will go to a concert (because his wife makes him) is .75. a.) Write down the 3 pieces of information given in terms of probabilities involving event A (Taylor Swift is Austin’s favorite music artist) and event B (Austin will go to a Taylor Swift concert). b.) Summarize the above information using a probability table. c.) Find the probability that Taylor Swift is Austin’s favorite music artist or Austin will go to a Taylor Swift concert.

The route used by a certain motorist in commuting to work contains two intersections with traffic signals. The probability that he must stop at the first signal is 0.45, the analogous probability for the second signal is 0.5, and the probability that he must stop at at least one of the two signals is 0.55. (a) What is the probability that he must stop at both signals? (b) What is the probability that he must stop at the first signal but not at the second one? (c) What is the probability that he must stop at exactly one signal?
A nuclear reactor becomes unstable if both safety mechanisms A and B fail. The probabilities of failure are P(A) =1/300 and P(B) = 1/200. Also, if A has failed, B is then more likely to fail: P(B/A)=1/100. a) What is the probability of the reactor going unstable? b) If B has failed, what is the probability of the reactor going unstable?
Omar commutes from his home to Concordia by car. To try to get to his class on time, he tries different routes to get to Concordia but heavy traffic and construction keeps occurring randomly along his four favourite routes: routes A, B, C, and D, which he takes with probabilities of 0.4, 0.15, 0.3, and 0.15, respectively. If he takes route A then he is on time for class with a probability of 0.7, if route B then he is on time with probability 0.9, if route C then he is on time with probability 0.8, and if route D then he is on time with probability 0.6. (a)What is the probability that Omar arrives to class on time? (b) If Omar arrives to class on time, what is the probability that he took route A?
