Deer ticks can be carriers of either Lyme disease or human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE). Based on a recent study, suppose that 20% of all ticks in a certain location carry Lyme disease, 6% carry HGE, and 6% of the ticks that carry at least one of these diseases in fact carry both of them. If a randomly selected tick is found to have carried HGE, what is the probability that the selected tick is also a carrier of Lyme disease? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

To avoid being stuck with a shipment of defective HDTV sets, a large retailer tests a random sample of three televisions for defects before purchasing the entire shipment. If any of the three HDTV sets are defective, the entire shipment is rejected. If a manufacturer of HDTV sets has a 1.2% defect rate, what is the probability that a shipment of its HDTV sets will be rejected by this retailer?
A global research study found that the majority of today's working women would prefer a better work-life balance to an increased salary. One of the most important contributors to work-life balance identified by the survey was "flexibility," with 43% of women saying that having a flexible work schedule is either very important or extremely important to their career success. Suppose you select a sample of 100 working women What is the probability that in the sample between 35% and 47% say that having a flexible work schedule is either very important or extremely important to their career success?
A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and test 51 tablets, then accept the whole batch if there is only one or none that doesn't meet the required specifications. If one shipment of 5000 aspirin tablets actually has a 5% rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted? Will almost all such shipments be accepted, or will many be rejected?
Commercial fishermen in Alaska go into the Bering Sea to catch all they can of a particular species (salmon, herring, etc.) during a restricted season of a few weeks. The schools of fish move about in a way that is very difficult to predict, so the fishing in a particular spot might be excellent one day and terrible the next. The day-to-day records of catch size were used to discover that the probability of a good fishing day being followed by another good day is 0.5, by a medium day 0.3, and by a poor day 0.2. A medium day is most likely to be followed by another medium day, with a probability of 0.6, and equally like to be followed by a good or bad day. A bad day has a 0.3 probability of being followed by a good day, 0.2 of being followed by a medium day, and a 0.5 probability of being followed by another bad day. Construct a Markov chain model to describe the way the fishing days run. Referring to problem 1 in Chapter 2 (the fishing problem – reproduced below), calculate what you…
Deer ticks can carry both Lyme disease and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE). In a study of ticks in the Midwest, it was found that 15 % carried Lyme disease, while 11 % carried HGE. In addition, of the ticks with either Lyme disease or HGE, 16 % carried both diseases. (a) What is the probability P[L H] that a tick carrries both Lyme disease (L) and HGE (H)? P[LH] = (b) What is the conditional probability that a tick carries HGE, given that it has Lyme disease? P[H|L] =
A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets.

Will almost all such shipments be accepted, or will many be rejected? The probability that this whole shipment will be accepted is ______ (Round to four decimal places as needed.) The company will accept ____% of the shipments and will reject ____% of the shipments, so______________ (many of the shipments will be rejected or almost all of the shipments will be accepted.

A particular automatic sprinkler system has two different types of activation devices for each sprinkler head. One type has a reliability of 0.75; that is, the probability that it will activate the sprinkler when it should is 0.75. The other type, which operates independently of the first type, has a reliability of 0.85. If either device is triggered, the sprinkler will activate. Suppose a fire starts near a sprinkler head. (provide your answer in four decimal numbers) (i) What is the probability that the sprinkler head will be activated? (1.5) (ii) What is the probability that the sprinkler head will not be activated? (1.5) (iii) What is the probability that both activation devices will work properly? (1.5) (iv) What is the probability that only the device with reliability 0.75 will work properly? (1.5)
A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and test 47 tablets, then accept the whole batch if there is only one or none that doesn't meet the required specifications. If one shipment of 6000 aspirin tablets actually has a 3% rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted?

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.
