An information technology company produces 4848% of its computer chips at a plant in St. Louis and the remainder of its chips at a plant in Chicago. It is known that 0.850.85% of the chips produced in St. Louis are defective, while 1.251.25% of the chips produced at the plan in Chicago are defective. What is the probability that a randomly chosen computer chip produced by this company is defective and was produced in St. Louis?

There are seven geologic faults (and possiblymore) capable of generating a magnitude 6.7 earthquake in theregion around San Francisco. Their probabilities of rupturingby the year 2032 are 27%, 21%, 11%, 10%, 4%, 3%, and 3%.Source: Science News.a. Calculate the probability that at least one of these faults erupts by the year 2032, assuming that these are indepen-dent events. b. Scientists forecast a 62% chance of an earthquake withmagnitude at least 6.7 in the region around San Franciscoby the year 2032. Compare this with your answer from parta. Consider the realism of the assumption of independence. Also consider the role of roundoff. For example, the prob-ability of 10% for one of the faults is presumably rounded to the nearest percent, with the actual probability between9.5% and 10.5%.

Some electronic devices are better used than new: The failure rate is higher when they are new than when they are six months old. For example, 53.40% of the personal music players of a particular brand have a flaw. If the player has the flaw, it dies in the first six months. If it does not have this flaw, then only 6.600% fail in the first six months. Yours died after you had it for three months. What are the chances that it has this flaw?
Assume that there is a 8% rate of disk drive failure in a year. a. If all your computer data is stored on a hard disk drive with a copy stored on a second hard disk drive, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? b. If copies of all your computer data are stored on four independent hard disk drives, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? a. With two hard disk drives, the probability that catastrophe can be avoided is 0.9936. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. With four hard disk drives, the probability that catastrophe can be avoided is ☐ (Round to six decimal places as needed.)
