Consider a random variable V modeling the version of the software that people have installed on their computers, where the possible versions are {1, 2, 3, 4}. People are equally likely to have versions 1 and 2 and also equally likely to have versions 3 and 4. People are also x times more likely to have version 3 than version 2.

Hint: the expected value of V as a function of x (c) What is the minimum value of x to ensure that the mean version is at least version 3?
In airline applications, failure of a component can result in catastrophe. As a result, many airline components utilize something called triple modular redundancy. This means that a critical component has two backup components that may be utilized should the initial component fail. Suppose a certain critical airline component has a probability of failure of 0.039 and the system that utilizes the component is part of a triple modular redundancy. (a) What is the probability that the system does not fail? (b) Engineers decide to the probability of failure is too high for this system. Use trial and error to determine the minimum number of components that should be included in the system to result in system that has greater than a 0.99999999 probability of not failing. (a) The probability is (Round to eight decimal places as needed.)

Suppose a dresser drawer has blue shirts, yellow shirts, red shirts, and green shirts so that if a shirt is pulled from the drawer at random, each color has an equal chance of being drawn. P(Green) = P(Blue) = P(Red) = P(Yellow) = ¼. Complete parts (a) – (d) to create a probability distribution for the number of yellow shirts if two shirts are pulled from the drawer at random (replacing the shirt after each draw). a. List each possible outcome for the colors of the shirts if two shirts are drawn randomly from the drawer. The teacher said there should be total of 16 outcomes, not 9 or 10. In my original answer, I have 10 outcomes when there should be 16. c.Find the probability of each event (not the probability from each outcome) from part (b). For my first answer, I had the probability of each outcome, and I should have the probability of each event.
