[Bayes' Theorem, Discrete Random Variables] It is known that 90% of new cars produced by acertain company have on average À malfunctions per 1 km of covered distance. Besides this, it isknown that remaining 10% of new cars were produced with a defect which increases the averagemalfunction rate to 2λ. The two types of cars are indistinguishable otherwise. When(a) Suppose that only a single malfunction has occured with a randomly selected car over 1,000km of distance. What is the probability that the car is from the defective group, and how doesit depend on λ?(b) For a randomly selected car, find a minimum distance covered with no malfunctions for theprobability that the car is from the non-defective group is 95% or above (express the result asa function of X).

A normal random variable X is given with a mean = 22 and a standard deviation o = 17. Give an approximate value of the z such that: Pr(X ≤ 1) = 0.375 Give approximate values of an z and y such that: Pr(y ≤X ≤1) = 0.431. NOTE: For this problem, both z AND y must be FINITE so you can't just take y to -00 and solve the problem akin to what you did in (a). Your strategy here should be to find z and y such that Pr(X ≤1) - Pr(X ≤y) gets as close to 0.431 as you want. Read the Z table and play with the arithmetic!
