Exercise 4.2 In the transmission of digital information, the probabilities that a bit has high, moderate, and low distortion are 0.01, 0.04, and 0.95, respectively. Suppose that n= 5 bits are transmitted and the amount of distortion of each bit is independent. 1. Find the probability that one bit has high distortion, one has moderate distortion, and three bits have low distortion.

A study tracked a large group of people for 10 years. At the start of the study, 20% were heavy smokers (H), 30% were light smokers (L), and 50% were non-smokers (N). The interest of the study was whether the people in the study died during the study (D) or not die (Dc ). The probability that a light smoker died during the study was twice that of the probability of a non-smoker dying. Also, the probability that light smoker died during the study was half that of the probability of a heavy smoker dying. A randomly selected person from the study died during the study. What is the probability that this person was a heavy smoker (given they died, what is the probability they were a heavy smoker H)?
K Suppose a basketball player is an excellent free throw shooter and makes 92% of his free throws (i.e., he has a 92% chance of making a single free throw). Assume that free throw shots are independent of one another. Suppose this player gets to shoot three free throws. Find the probability that he misses all three consecutive free throws. Round to four decimal places. OA. 0.2213 OB. 0.9995 OC. 0.0005 OD. 0.7787
A certain tennis player makes a successful first serve 78% of the time. Assume that each serve is independent of the others. If she serves 9times, what's the probability she gets: Part 1 a) The probability that she gets all 9 serves in is _______________ (Round to three decimal places as needed.). Part 2 b) The probability she gets exactly 4 serves in is _______________ (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Part 3 c) The probability she gets at least 7 serves in is ______________________ (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Part 4 d) The probability that there are no more than 6 serves in is __________ (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Consider three classes (I, II and III) consisting of 30, 25, and 45 students. Suppose a student is selected from class I, then he has 10% chance to make an A. Assume that these probabilities for the class II and III are 15% and 20% respectively. If a student is selected randomly and has an A, what is the probability that he is from class III. Enter your answer to the nearest FOUR decimal places. 0.5715
The probability that a new computer functions for over 10,000 hours is 0.8, the probability that it functions for over 20,000 hours is 0.4 and the probability that it functions for over 30,000 hours is 0.1. If a new computer is still working after 10,000 hours, what is the probability that i. its total life will exceed 20,000 hours;ii. its additional life will exceed 20,000 hours?
Probabilities that customers A, B, and C purchase an item are 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 correspondingly. Find the probability that at least one customer purchases an item.
Q10. Given that the switchboard of a consultant's office receives on average 0.8 calls per minute, find the probability that in a 5-minute interval there will be exactly 4 calls, and in the following 4- minute interval, there will be exactly 1 call. (Consider the entire 9 minute interval to calculate your answer.)
Q1. Some couples planning a new family would prefer at least one child of each sex. The probability that a couple’s first child is a boy is 0.512. In the absence of technological intervention, the probability that their second child is a boy is independent of the sex of their first child, and so remains 0.512. Imagine that you are helping a new couple with their planning. If the couple plans to have only two children: What is the probability that at least one girl is born?
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
