Identical ICs are tested for transistor failure, and it is found that the average failure is 3.4 every 1000-day test. Assume your computer has one of these ICs. What is the probability that a single of those transistors will fail today?

Samuel F.B. Morse (1791 – 1872), the creator of Morse Code, claimed that 12% of all letters used in the English language were “e”s. Suppose random samples of 196 letters are selected from a book What is the probability that a random sample of 196 letters will contain at least 10% "e"s? Type your calculated z-score here. Express its value to the nearest hundredth (two decimal places). Type your probability here. Express its value to four decimal places. Do not round.
QUESTION 3 A large chain retailer purchases a certain kind of electronic device from a manufacturer. The manufacturer indicates that the defective rate of the device is 10%. If the inspector of the retailer randomly picks 18 items from a shipment, the probability that there will be at least one defective item among these 18 items is O 0.5497 O 0.1501 O 0.4503 O 0.8499 lick Save and Submit to save and submit.

The time that it takes to service a car is an exponential random variable with rate 1.1. If A brings his car in at time 0 and B brings his car in at time t, what is the probability thatB’s car is ready before A’s? Assume that the service times are independent, and the servicebegins upon arrival.2. If both cars are brought in at time 0, with work starting on B’s car only when A’s car has beencompletely serviced, what is the probability that B’s car is ready before 2? Detailed explanation and calculation would be much appreciated.

Question 6 Company records show that the proportion of defective parts has historically been 5%, however a quality control engineer believes that due to budget cuts these numbers have increased. To test this claim a random sample of N = 15 parts will be taken and if more than two defective parts are found the inspector will conclude that the proportion of defective parts has increases. Calculate the probability of the type one error. 18.5% 81.5% О 3.6% O 96.4%
The probability of a randomly selected adult in one country being infected with a certain virus is 0.005. In tests for the virus, blood samples from 14 people are combined. What is the probability that the combined sample tests positive for the virus? Is it unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive? Note that the combined sample tests positive if at least one person has the virus. The probability that the combined sample will test positive is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Is it unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive? O A. It is unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the combined sample will test positive is less than or equal to 0.05. O B. It is not unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the combined sample will test positive is less than or equal to 0.05. OC. It is not unlikely for such a combined sample to test positive, because the probability that the…

A fair die, with its faces numbered from 1 to 6, is one in which each number is equally likely to land face up when the die is rolled. On a fair die, the probability that the number 6 will land face up is 1/6. A group of students wanted to investigate a claim about manipulating a fair die so that it favors one outcome. The claim states that if a fair die is put into an oven and baked at 200°F for 10 minutes, the inside of the die will begin to melt. When the die cools, the inside will be solid again, but with more weight toward the bottom. This shift in weight will cause the face that was up when the die cooled to land up more often that the other faces. The students obtained a fair die and baked it according to the preceding directions. The die cooled with the number 6 face up. After the die cooled, they rolled the die 200 times, and the number 6 landed face up 43times. Let p represent the population proportion of times the number 6 will land face up on the baked die if the die could…
According to recent reports, currently 39% of the population of NC (adults and children) has been fully vaccinated against Covid. Suppose of random sample of 400 individuals from the population of NC is selected. Let x represent the number in the sample who are fully vaccinated. a. State the values of n and p for this binomial experiment. b. Find the probability that exactly 156 in the sample have been fully vaccinated. Round to 4 decimal places.
