Bay’s Theorem: A Construction Company finds that an experienced machine operator of its company (one or more years of experience) will produce a defective item 1.5% of the time. Operators with some experience (up to one year) will produce a 2.5% defective rate and new operators will produce a 5% defective rate. The company has 65% experienced employees, 25% with some experience and 10% new employees. Find the probability that a) Experienced operator of a company produced a particular defective item. b) Operator with some experience of a company produced a particular defective item. c) New operator of a company produced a particular defective item

A particular system in a space vehicle must work properly in order tor it to gal accau. earth's atmosphere. One component of the system operates successfully only 85% of the time. To increase the reliability of the system, four of the components are installed in such a way that the system will operate successfully if at least one component is working. What is the probability that the system will fail? Assume the components operate independently.
Suppose that the rats on the campus of Hypothetical U are found to be carriers of bubonic plague. Eradicating the rats has an estimated cost of $1,000,000 and is expected to reduce the probability a given student dies of the plague from 1/3,000 to zero. Suppose that there are 30,000 students on campus. Suppose further that the administration refuses to eradicate the rats due to the cost. From this information, we can estimate that the administration's willingness to pay to save a student statistical life is no more than $100,000 $1,000,000 $50,000 $33,333
In a population at high risk of developing cancer, each individual is classified as: Undiagnosed (U), Positive (P), Treatment (T) or Deceased (D). There is a test for the cancer, but there are false positive and false negative test results. Each month: • Each Undiagnosed person will either test positive and move to the Positive category (10 % likelihood), return a false negative test result and Die (3 %) or return a true negative test result (87%) and remain Undiagnosed. • Each Positive person will move to the Treatment category (70 % likelihood), or move to the Undiagnosed category (30 %) because their earlier test result was a false positive. • Each person in the Treatment category will either recover and move to the Undiagnosed category (40 % likelihood), require treatment for another month (40 %), or Die (20 %). Researchers wish to develop a model based on a system of differential equations. 1. Draw a life-cycle diagram showing all possible transitions between the four categories…
A manufacturing process produces, on the average, 3% defective items. The company ships 15 items in each box and wishes to guarantee no more than 1 defective item per box. If this guarantee accompanies each box, what is the probability that the box will fail to satisfy the guarantee?

A study was conducted to determine whether there were significant differences between medical students admitted through special programs (such as retention incentive and guaranteed placement programs) and medical students admitted through the regular admissions criteria. It was found that the graduation rate was 89.9% for the medical students admitted through special programs. Be sure to enter at least 4 digits of accuracy for this problem!If 9 of the students from the special programs are randomly selected, find the probability that at least 8 of them graduated.prob = At least 4 digits!If 9 of the students from the special programs are randomly selected, find the probability that eactly 6 of them graduated.prob = At least 4 digits!Would it be unusual to randomly select 9 students from the special programs and get exactly 6 that graduate? no, it is not unusual yes, it is unusual If 9 of the students from the special programs are randomly selected, find the probability that at…
A manufacturer wishes to estimate the accuracy of its final visual inspection process. A random sample of 180 devices is selected from production. An item is defective or “bad” if it contains at least one visually noticeable cosmetic defect. The process improvement team agrees that the sample contains 27 bad items and 153 good items. The team gives the items to a “certified” operator for inspection. The operator rejects 10 good pieces and accepts 11 bad pieces and classifies the remainder correctly. What is the probability that the inspector will reject an item? P(inspector will reject an item) = ________%. Enter value using one decimal place.
