(a) What is the probability that out of the next 20 pipework failures at least 10 are due to operator error? (b) What is the probability that no more than 4 out of 20 such failures are due to operator error?

Does crime pay? The FBI Standard Survey of Crimes showed that for about 80% of all property crimes (burglary, larceny, car theft, etc.), the criminals are never found and the case is never solvedt. Suppose a neighborhood district in a large city suffers repeated property crimes, not always perpetrated by the same criminals. The police are investigating twelve property crime cases in this district. In USE SALT (a) What is the probability that none of the crimes will ever be solved? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (b) What is the probability that at least one crime will be solved? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) (c) What is the expected number of crimes that will be solved? crimes What is the standard deviation? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) crimes (d) What is the smallest number of property crimes n that the police must investigate before they can be at least 90% sure of solving one or more cases? n = crimes
Apparently, depression significantly increases the risk of developing dementia later in lift (BBC News, July 6, 2010). In a recent study it was reported that 22% of those who had depression went on to develop dementia, compared to only 17% of those who did not have depression. Suppose 10% of all people suffer from depression. What is the probability of a person developing dementia? If a person has developed dementia, what is the probability that the person suffered from depression earlier in life?

A drug manufacturer claims that their drug cures a certain blood disease 78% of the time. To check the claim, BFAD used the drug in a clinical trial of 100 individuals inflicted with the disease and decided to accept the claim if 70 or more are cured. What is the probability that the claim will be accepted when the cure probability is as low as 0.6?
Assume that a student alarm clock has a 6.6 % daily failure rate. What is the probability that the students alarm clock ill not work on the day of an important final exam?
A disease affects 1 out of 10,000 people. There is a test to check whether a person has the disease. The test is accurate. In particular, we know the following: (a) The probability that the test result is positive given that the person does not have the disease, is only 2 percent. (b) The probability that the test result is negative given that the person has the disease, is only 1 percent. Question: A random person gets tested for the disease and the result comes back positive. What is the probability that the person has the disease?
