A specific article is produced by machines M1, M2, M3 and M4. The probability that a random article is produced by M1, M2 and M3 is 0.2, 0.3 and 0.1 respectively. The probability for each machine to produce defective articles is given as M1 = 0.03, M2 = 0.02, M3 = 0.04 and M4 = 0.01. What is the probability that a random article was made by M4, given that it is non-defective?

Suppose that there is a white urn containing three white balls and one red ball and there is a red urn containing two white balls and four red balls. An experiment consists of selecting at random a ball from the white urn and then (without replacing the first ball) selecting at random a ball from the urn having the color of the first ball. Find the probability that the second ball is red.
It has been found from experience that there is an average of five faults per 50 metres of cloth produced by a linen factory. If we randomly select 50 metres of cloth, what is the probability that there will be more than two faults?
Jay-Z has applied to both The School of Hard Knocks and The University of OG's. He thinks the probability that The School of Hard Knocks will admit him is 0.4, the probability that The University of OG's will admit him is 0.5, and the probability that both will admit him is 0.2. Creating a Venn Diagram is Helpful. What is the probability that Jay-Z gets into The School of Hard Knocks but not The University of OGʻs?
Suppose that you select a random sample of 200 pharmaceutical corporate managers and a study showed that the proportion held by women is 0.15, What is the probability that in the sample less than 15% of the corporate managers will be women? What is the probability that in the sample between 13% and 17% of the corporate managers will be women? What is the probability that in the sample between 10% and 20% of the corporate managers will be women? If a sample of 100 is taken, how does this change your answers to (a) through (c)?
Factories A, B and C produce computers. Factory A produces 4 times as many computers as factory C, and factory B produces 6 times as many computers as factory C. The probability that a computer produced by factory A is defective is 0.038, the probability that a computer produced by factory B is defective is 0.035, and the probability that a computer produced by factory C is defective is 0.047. A computer is selected at random and it is found to be defective. What is the probability it came from factory B? Answer:
In a certain year, the probability that a stock was in the Information Technology sector was 0.1353. The probability that the stock had a dividend yield of 2.00% or higher given that it was in the Information Technology sector was 0.2988. The probability that a stock had a dividend yield of 2.00% or higher given that it was not in the Information Technology sector was 0.4469. Find the probability that the stock was in the Information Technology sector given that it had a dividend yield of 2.00% or higher. Let F be the event that a stock was in the Information Technology sector and E be the event that a stock had a dividend yield of 2.00% or higher. P(F)= and P P (F') =

A university computer laboratory installs one of three operating systems on each computer used in the lab. It is known from product testing that during an hour of web browsing the probability a computer with system 1 installed will crash is 0.15, the probability of a computer with operating system 2 crashing is 0.08 and the probability of a computer with system 3 crashing is 0.1. Operating systems 1 and 3 are installed on the same number of computers while system 2 is installed on twice as many computers as system 1 (or system 3).a) What is the probability that a randomly selected computer crashes during an hour of web browsing?b) If a computer selected at random crashed during an hour of browsing the web, what is the probability it has operating system 2 installed?c) If a computer selected at random does not crash during an hour of web browsing what is the probability it has operating system 1 or operating system 2 installed?
