Calculate the probability that the gold component is neither sufficiently pure nor sufficiently conductive to be shipped. (ii) Are the two events – of the gold component being sufficiently pure, and of the gold being sufficiently conductive – mutually exclusive or independent or neither? Explain your answer. (iii) If a gold component is deemed to be sufficiently conductive to be shipped, what is the probability that it is sufficiently pure to be shipped?

You want to find the probability that people will return a shopping cart to the corral after loading the groceries in their vehicle. For a 4 hours period, you observe the number of people who returned their cart and the number who did not. A success in this case would be that the person returned their cart. Choose the best statistical tool to calculate this probability A. Use the Central Limit Theorem to find the probability that the sample mean exceeds a certain value B. Use the empirical rule to find the number of cars that bracket 68% of the data C. Calculate a confidence interval for the population mean D. Calculate the total number of successes divided by the total number of observations to find the observed probability
The level of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) in the exhaust over the useful life (150,000150,000 miles of driving) of cars of a particular model varies Normally with mean 8080 mg/mi and standard deviation 66 mg/mi. A company has 1616 cars of this model in its fleet. Using Table A, find the level ?L such that the probability that the average NOX + NMOG level ?¯x¯ for the fleet greater than ?L is only 0.030.03 ? (Enter your answer rounded to three decimal places. If you are using CrunchIt, adjust the default precision under Preferences as necessary. See the instructional video on how to adjust precision settings.)

What is the probability of randomly selecting someone whose heart rate is below 73? What is the probability of randomly selecting someone whose heart rate above 79? What is the probability of randomly selecting someone whose heart rate either below 60 or above 90?
Twenty percent of all telephones of a certain type are submitted for service while under warranty. Of these, 70% can be repaired, whereas the other 30% must be replaced with new units. If a company purchases ten of these telephones, what is the probability that exactly four will end up being replaced under warranty? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Jim is a 60-year-old male in reasonably good health. He wants to take out a $50,000 term (that is, straight death benefit) life insurance policy until he is 65. The policy will expire on his 65th birthday. The probability of death in a given year is provided by the Vital Statistics Section of the Statistical Abstract of the United States (116th edition) X=age 60 61 62 63 64 P(death at this age) 0.01191 0.01292 0.01396 0.01503 0.011613 Jim is applying to Big Rock Insurance Company for his term insurance policy. What is the probability that Jim will die in his 60th year? Using this probability and the $50,000 death benefit, what is the expected cost to Big Rock Insurance? Repeat part (a) for years 61, 62, 63, and 64. What would be the total expected cost to Big Rock Insurance over the years 60 through 64? If Big Rock Insurance wants to make a profit of $700 above the expected total cost paid out for Jim’s death, how much should it charge for the policy?…
An organization for people with high IQ, and eligibility requires an IQ above 131.5. Suppose the IQ scores are normally distributed with a mean of 102.5 and standard deviation of 16.1. If someone wants to join the organization, what is the probability that he or she meets the organization’s requirement?
Let us suppose that a particular lecturer manages, with probability 1, to develop exams that have mean 60 and standard deviation 13. The lecturer is teaching two classes, one of size 100 and the other one of size 36, and is about to give an exam to both classes. We treat all students as being independent. Give your answers below in three decimal places. (a) The approximate probability that the average test score in the class of size 100 exceeds 65 is (a), where is the cumulative distribution function of a standard normal random variable. Find the value of a.
Semiconductor lasers used in optical storage products require higher power levels for write operations than for read operations. High-power-level operations lower the useful life of the laser. Lasers in products used for backup of higher-speed magnetic disks primarily write, and the probability that the useful life exceeds five years is 0.0106. Lasers that are in products that are used for main storage spend approximately an equal amount of time reading and writing, and the probability that the useful life does not exceed five years is 0.5847. Now, 0.7486 of the products from a manufacturer are used for backup, while the remaining manufacturer's products are used for main storage. What is the probability that a laser that failed before five years came from a product used for backup? Select one: O a. 0.87645253 b. 0.01780615 c. 1.07899181 d. 0.83440299
The service time for an application in a workplace is modelled as an exponential random variable with parameter λ = 5 per hour, independent and identically distributed for all applicants.
