Factories A, B and C produce computers. Factory A produces 3 times as many computers as factory C, and factory B produces 7 times as many computers asfactory C. The probability that a computer produced by factory A is defective is 0.023, the probability that a computer produced by factory B is defective is 0.05,and the probability that a computer produced by factory C is defective is 0.045.A computer is selected at random and it is found to be defective. What is the probability it came from factory A?Answer:

P(A) = 3P(C) P(B) = 7P(C) event D : defective product P(D|A) = 0.023 P(D|B) = 0.05 P(D|C) = 0.045…

A particular team sport declares the team that wins 4 games out of 6 possible games as the champion. The championship ends once a team has won 4 games. Suppose that teams X and Y face each other in the championship games and that team X has 65% probability of winning a game over team Y. What is the probability that team X wins the championship in 5 games?
A card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards. What is the probability of getting a queen card? The probability of winning the first prize in a lottery of a girl is 8/100. If the total of 6000 tickets are sold, then how many tickets the girl purchased? There are 3 blue socks, 5 brown socks, and 4 white socks in a drawer.

There are two white balls in box B1, two red balls in box B2, two white and two red balls in box B3, and three white and one red balls in box B4. The probability of choosing boxes B1, B2, B3 or B4 is given as 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and 1/8 respectively. One of the boxes is chosen at random and a ball is drawn at random from the selected box. What is the probability that the selected ball comes from box B3 under the condition that it is white?
According to a theory in genetics, if tall and colorful plants are crossed with short and colorless plants, four types of plants will result: tall and colorful, tall and colorless, short and colorful, and short and colorless, with corresponding probabilities of 5/16, 4/16, 1/16, and 6/16. In a multinomial experiment, if 10 plants are selected, find the probability that 3 will be tall and colorful, 2 will be tall and colorless, 1 will be short and colorful, and 4 will be short and colorless.
Factories A, B and C produce computers. Factory A produces 4 times as many computers as factory C, and factory B produces 6 times as many computers as factory C. The probability that a computer produced by factory A is defective is 0.038, the probability that a computer produced by factory B is defective is 0.035, and the probability that a computer produced by factory C is defective is 0.047. A computer is selected at random and it is found to be defective. What is the probability it came from factory B? Answer:
Suppose that a bag contains one white chip and two red chips. Chips are going to be selected at random from the bag with replacement. What is the probability of selecting a white chip from the bag? What is the probability of selecting a red chip from the bag? Are the outcomes of selecting a white chip and selecting a red chip equally likely? Two chips are selected from the bag with replacement. Is the probability of selecting two white chips greater than, equal to, or less than the probability of selecting two red chips? Explain your answer.
According to Mendel’s theory, if tall and colorful plants are crossed with short and colorless plants, the corresponding probabilities are 9/16, 3/16, 3/16, and 1/16 for tall and colorful, tall and colorless, short and colorful, and short and colorless, respectively. If 8 plants are selected, find the probability that 1 will be tall and colorful, 3 will be tall and colorless, 3 will be short and colorful, and 1 will be short and colorless.(4 decimal digits)
A university computer laboratory installs one of three operating systems on each computer used in the lab. It is known from product testing that during an hour of web browsing the probability a computer with system 1 installed will crash is 0.15, the probability of a computer with operating system 2 crashing is 0.08 and the probability of a computer with system 3 crashing is 0.1. Operating systems 1 and 3 are installed on the same number of computers while system 2 is installed on twice as many computers as system 1 (or system 3).a) What is the probability that a randomly selected computer crashes during an hour of web browsing?b) If a computer selected at random crashed during an hour of browsing the web, what is the probability it has operating system 2 installed?c) If a computer selected at random does not crash during an hour of web browsing what is the probability it has operating system 1 or operating system 2 installed?
In a city, there are two independent firetrucks, the probability that the first firetruck access to the fire place during ten minutes is 0.75, while the probability that the second firetruck access the fire place during ten minutes is 0.6. what is the probability that both firetrucks can access the fire place at the same time?
A bag contains 3 green balls, 4 red balls, and no other balls. Victor removes balls randomly from the bag, one at a time, and places them on a table. Each ball in the bag is equally likely to be chosen each time that he removes a ball. He stops removing balls when there are two balls of the same colour on the table. What is the probability that, when he stops, there is at least 1 red ball and at least 1green ball on the table?
