From past experience it is known that a machine is set up correctly on 80% of the occasions. If the machine is set up correctly then 85% of the good parts are expected but if the machine is not correctly set up then the probability of a good part is only 30%. On a particular day the machine is set up and the 1st component produced was found to be good. What is the probability that the machine is correctly set up?

It has been found from experience that there is an average of five faults per 50 metres of cloth produced by a linen factory. If we randomly select 50 metres of cloth, what is the probability that there will be more than two faults?
A rare type of HPV virus affects 1% of the population in a state. A new test is designed to detect the virus before an outward manifestation. If given to an infected person the test shows positive result 97% of the time. If given to an uninfected person the test shows positive (false) result 2% of the time. (Use a probability tree) If the test is given to a randomly chosen person in the population and gives a positive result, what is the probability that the person is actually infected?
In a 2 colour spinner, the probability of spinning red is 4 times the probability of spinning green. If you spin this spinner 17 times. What is the expected number of times it will land on green?
Composite blood testing is sometimes used to save costs. A Hepatitis-C composite blood test means that when several blood samples are mixed together and tested for Hepatitis- C. The probability of testing positive for Hepatitis-C in a certain population is 0.490. If 4 bloodsamples are mixed together, what is the probability that composite sample would be positive (in other words, what is the probability that at least one of the people in the group is positive for Hepatitis-C)?
Suppose on a CD, you like 10 out of 13 songs. If you randomly select four songs to be played once, what is the probability that(a) You like 3 of the songs out of the 4? Enter your answer rounded to two decimals. (b) You like the first two songs and then dislike the second two songs, in that order? Enter your answer rounded to two decimals.
Suppose you have just received a shipment of 28 modems. Although you don't know this, 4 of the modems are defective. To determine whether you will accept the shipment, you randomly select 9 modems and test them. If all 9 modems work, you accept the shipment. Otherwise, the shipment is rejected. What is the probability of accepting the shipment? The probability of accepting the shipment is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
In a football match, there is a new striker on the Juventus side. The probability that the new striker will score goal today is three times higher than scoring none. Rakin and his friends are watching this match. Rakin tells his friends that the new striker is left footed as he read about him in an article; but, some friends are not believing him. The match is about to start and on the screen there is a note saying opponent defenders of Juventus are strong against right footed strikers. So, the probability of the striker being left footed will be five times higher if the striker scores a goal than scoring none. When match started, Rakin and his friends saw that the new striker is left footed. What is the probability that the striker will score today?
A web server's visit always comes from five sites. The percentages of known visits from sites 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are 20%, 30%, 15%, 10% and 25% respectively. The probability of visits from five sites lasting more than 2 minutes is 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.2 and 0.9 respectively. Now randomly select a visit. What is the probability that the visit lasts more than 2 minutes? If the selected visit last more than 2 minutes, which sites does it most likely come from?
Suppose we build a taco-making machine. But there is a fatal flaw in the machine, where for each taco made, there's a 5% chance that it's actually a toxic taco. If the machine makes 100 tacos, what is the probability that at most 2 of them are toxic?
