Before being allowed to enter a maximum-security area at a military installation, a person must pass three independent identification tests: a voice-pattern test, a fingerprint test, and a handwriting test. If the reliability of the first test is 96%, that of the second test is 98.3%, and that of the third is 98.3%, what is the probability that this security system will allow an improperly identified person to enter the maximum-security area? (Round your answer to seven decimal places.)

When purchasing bulk orders of batteries, a toy manufacturer uses this acceptance sampling plan. Randomly select and test 45 batteries and determine whether each is within specifications. the entire shipment is accepted if at most 2 batteries do not meet the requirements. A shipment contains 3000 batteries and 2% of them do not meet specifications. What is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted? Will almost all such shipments be accepted or will many be rejected?

Use the data in the following table that shows results from a polygraph (lie detector) conducted by researchers Charles R. Honts and Gordon H. Barland. In each case, it was known if the subjects lied or did not lie, so the table indicates when the polygraph was correct. If two different subjects are randomly selected without replacement, find the probability that they both lied.
When purchasing bulk orders of batteries, a toy manufacturer uses this acceptance sampling plan. Randomly select and test 35 batteries and determine whether each is in specifications.

Exploration studies are conducted in 13 different locations seeking oil fields in Oman. From a retrospective study it has been found that the possibility of a location to truly have an oil field is 25%. This low probability is due to the complexity of the geological conditions and their challenges in Oman. As a result, the chance to invest in exploration and getting no oil fields is 75%. Determine the probability that 4 locations will truly have oil fields? Select one a. o.06 b.0.21 C0.25 d.0.79
