A type of chocolate bar contains, with probability 0.1, a prize voucher. Whether or not a bar contains a voucher is independent of other bars. A hungry student buys 8 chocolate bars. Let X denote the number of vouchers that she finds. (i) What sort of distribution does X have?(ii) How likely is it that the student finds no vouchers?(iii) How likely is it that she finds at least two vouchers?(iv) What is the most likely number of vouchers that she finds?

Use the following results from a test for marijuana use, which is provided by a certain drug testing company. Among 142 subjects with positive test results, there are 23 false positive results; among 150 negative results, there are 3 false negative results. i one of the test subjects is randomly selected, find the probability that the subject tested negative or did not use marijuana. (Hint: Construct a table.) The probability that a randomly selected subject tested negative or did not use marijuana is (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to three decimal places as needed.)
You purchase a brand new car for $15,000 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. P(X) (b) Compute the minimum amount the insurance company will charge for this policy. Round your answer to the nearest cent

Timely patching is important for server security. Suppose an organization has 3 servers. Two of them have been patched, while one of them still remains unpatched. The prob- ability an unpatched server gets compromised is, and the probability that a patched server get compromised is p. If an attacker randomly attacks one of the three servers, the probability he compromises the server is (a) What is the value of p? • (b) This time the attacker randomly chose two servers to attack, and observed only one of them got compromised. What is the conditional probability that both attacked servers are patched?

When three athletes compete, the probability of winning the race for the first athlete (A1) is 1/3, the probability for the second athlete (A2) to win the race 1/4, and the probability for the third athlete (A3) to win the race 1/5. Athletes compete 2 times. What is the probability of winning the first race A1 and second race A2, or first race A1 and second race A3?Note: Use the tree diagram. The requested P(A1A2 or A1A3=P(A1A2UA1A3)=P(A1A2)+P(A1A3)
You are bidding on six items available on an online shopping site. You think that for each bid you have a 35% chance of winning it, and the outcomes of the six bids are independent events. Let X denote the number of winning bids out of the six items you bid on. Find the probabilities. a. Explain why the distribution of X can be modeled by the binomial distribution. b. Find the probability that you win exactly 4 bids. c. Find the probability that you win 4 bids or fewer. d. Find the probability that you win more than 4 bids. a. Explain why the distribution of X can be modeled by the binomial distribution. A. The trials are independent. O B. The data are binary. C. The data are not binary. D. Probabilities of success for trials (bids) differ for each trial. OE. The trials are dependent. F. There is the same probability of success for each trial (bid). G. There are a fixed number of bids. O H. The number of bids varies. b. The probability of winning exactly 4 bids is (Round to four…
