Company A provides a critical manufacturing part 10% of the time, Company B provides the same part 50% of the time and Company C provides the part the rest of the time. There is a 10% chance of the part being defective if provided by Company A a 30% chance of the part being defective if provided by Company B, and a 50% chance of the part being defective

A high-risk group of 794 male volunteers was included in a major clinical trial for testing a new vaccine for type B hepatitis. The vaccine was given to 347 persons randomly selected from the group, and the others were injected with a neutral substance (placebo). 7 of the vaccinated people and 33 of the nonvaccinated ones later got the disease. We wish to test the hypothesis that the probability of getting type B hepatitis is different (higher or lower) for people who were vaccinated compared with people who were not, using the 10% significance level. (a) If we use the contingency table method to test this hypothesis, find the 4 values in the expected table. (answers correct to 4 decimals) (b) Find the value of the test statistic (using the contingency table method). (correct to 3 decimals) (c) Find the critical value (using the contingency table method). (correct to 3 decimals) (d) Using the z-test for proportions, find the value of the test statistic (and verify that z2 = χ2, when…
Detecting terrorists is a real problem, one that causes governments to spend millions per year. A particular surveillance system has been developed which correctly identifies a future terrorist 99% of the times and detects someone who is not a future terrorist 99.9% of times. Suppose that in a population of 300 million, there are 1000 potential/future terrorists. If one of these 300 million is randomly selected and scrutinized by the system, what is the probability that the person selected is actually a future terrorist? Also explain if the value of this probability makes you uncomfortable about using a surveillance system? Explain.
A venture capitalist is deciding among two investment opportunities. Opportunity A will provide him $4 million profit with 73% probability if it stays at base level i.e. same. But if it’s a wild success, he can sell the venture for a sure amount of $5 million or continue with the venture (that will surely put him on risk once again) where he can earn $1 million profit with probability “a” and win $15 million profit otherwise. On the other hand, if he choose to grab opportunity B, there is a “b” percent chance of winning $10 million profit and he can earn $2 million otherwise.  Determine the strategy region for him.  What will be the two critical points of the region where he will be indifferent among the two decision alternatives?
What is the probability of finding an H2O based compound with a blue label in a storage facility of 1,000 vials. We know there are 22 vials of H2O based compound in the facility, and that 800 of the total number of vials in the facility have blue labels.
Suppose you are told that among Atlantic salmons, the proportion of salmons suffering from a viral infection is 0.085. If you collect a sample 250 Atlantic salmons, what is the chance that the proportion of salmons in your sample suffering from a viral infection will be less than 0.9? Would you expect the probability of the event in (1) to be higher or lower if you had a sample of 500 salmons instead? Justify.
Three pancakes are at your disposal. One has a golden colour on both sides, one has a brown colour on both sides, and one has a golden colour on one side but a brown colour on the other. You randomly choose a pancake and see that one of the sides is brown. Calculate the likelihood that the pancake's opposite side is brown.
According to IT department of leading financial firm, 50% of emails received by their employees are spam. They are planning to install a software which filters the spam emails. A reputable cybersecurity brand has launched a software which claims to detect 99% of spam emails. However, they have also reported 5% as the chance of detecting a non-spam email as spam. If an email is detected as spam, what is the probability of it in fact being a non-spam email?
A company buys microchips from three suppliers I, II and III. Supplier I has a record of providing microchips that contain 10% defective; supplier a defective rate of 5% and supplier III has a defective rate of 3%. Suppose 10%, 40% and 50% of the current supply came from suppliers I, II and III, respectively. If a randomly selected microchip is defective, what is the probability that it came from supplier II? Express your answer accurate to two decimal places. O 48 O..40 O something else O 44 O 41
Two machines turn out all the paper bags produced in the plant. Machine A produces 38% of the bags and machine B produces 62% of the bags. Machine A produces defective bags 1.9% of the time and machine B produces defective bags 3.8% of the time. Given a defective bag, what is the probability that it came from machine B?
In 2020 Skittles changed the flavor of green from lime to sour apple (big mistake!!). Mr. Phillips takes a small handful of 5 Skittles from a bin of 10,000 Skittles and gets ALL GREEN (terrible)! If 20% of the Skittles are green, what is the probability of this happening?
Suppose one NBA player can get one point in each free shot with probability 0.8. Now he has five times of free shots and it is reasonable to assume that the result in each shot has no impact on other shots. (b) What is the probability of his getting 3 points?(c) What is the probability of his getting at least 2 points?(d) we define an unusual event if the chance of the event is below 5%. Is it an unusual event that he lost all his shots? please explain each step fully
