If a container with nine 5-volt transistor batteries of which two are known to be defective, batteries are selected one at a time without replacement and tested until a non-defective one is found. (i) Calculate the probability that three batteries are tested. (ii) What is the probability the second selection is non defective given that the first is defective.

In the sport of basketball, a player will sometimes get the opportunity to shoot two free throws without being affected by any other players in the game. Assume that, for one player, these two free throws are independent of each other. If this player makes free throws 80% of the time, what is the probability that this player will make neither free throw in the opportunity?
Suppose you just received a shipment of twelve televisions. Three of the televisions are defective. If two televisions are randomly selected, compute the probability that both televisions work. What is the probability at least one of the two televisions does not work? The probability that both televisions work is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
What is the probability of finding an H2O based compound with a blue label in a storage facility of 1,000 vials. We know there are 22 vials of H2O based compound in the facility, and that 800 of the total number of vials in the facility have blue labels.
There are two bags containing several colored balls. The bag B, contains 10 red balls, 12 blue balls, and 13 green balls. The bag B, contains 20 red balls, 19 blue balls and 19 green balls. A student of your class wanted to draw 1 red ball and 3 blue balls. i. If he has the option to draw from only bag B1, what is the probability of drawing the four balls? [Give your answer upto 4 decimal places] ii. If he can choose any bag in an equiprobable manner, what is the probability of drawing the four balls in this case? [Give your answer upto decimal places] 4
A factory received a shipment of 15 capacitors, and the vendor who sold the items knows there are 8 capacitors in the shipment that are defective and 7 are not defective. Before the receiving foreman accepts the delivery, he samples the shipment, and if too many of the capacitors in the sample are defective, he will refuse the shipment. Give answer as a decimal to four decimal places.(a) If a sample of 6 capacitors is selected, find the probability that all in the sample are defective. (b) If a sample of 6 capacitors is selected, find the probability that 4 in the sample are defective. (c) If a sample of 3 capacitors is selected, find the probability that 1 in the sample are defective.
ag I contains 2 White chips and 1 red chip and Bag II contains 2 red chips and one white chip. A chip is selected at random from g I and transferred to Bag II. Then a chip is selected at random from Bag II. If the selected chip is red, what is the probability that e transferred chip was white? 317 B 2/3 O 1/3 4/7
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.)
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:
In a specific type of electronic card, the probability of a transistor being defective is 0.01. Let's assume there are 200 transistors on the electronic card. If there are no defective transistors, the electronic card is considered to be functioning. What is the probability of any electronic card not functioning?

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?
