In a certain four-engine vintage aircraft, now quite unreliable, each engine has a 15% chance of failure on any flight, as long as it is carrying its one-fourth share of the load. But if one engine fails, then the chance of failure increases to 30% for each of the other three engines. And if a second engine fails, each of the remaining two has a 45% chance of failure. Assuming that no two engines ever fail simultaneously, and that the aircraft can continue flying with as few as two operating engines, find the probability for no engine failures.

Question

In a certain four-engine vintage aircraft, now quite unreliable, each engine has a

15%

chance of failure on any flight, as long as it is carrying its one-fourth share of the load. But if one engine fails, then the chance of failure increases to

30%

for each of the other three engines. And if a second engine fails, each of the remaining two has a

45%

chance of failure. Assuming that no two engines ever fail simultaneously, and that the aircraft can continue flying with as few as two operating engines, find the probability for no engine failures.

Testing for a disease can be made more efficient by combining samples. If the samples from two people are combined and the mixture tests negative, then bothsamples are negative. On the other hand, one positive sample will always test positive, no matter how many negative samples it is mixed with. Assuming the probability of a single sample testing positive is 0.1,find the probability of a positive result for two samples combined into one mixture. Is the probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely necessary? (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Is the probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely necessary? A. The probability is low, so further testing will be necessary for all of the combined mixtures. B. The probability is low, so further testing of the individual samples will be a rarely necessary event. C. The probability is not low, so further…
Suppose you are a production manager for a small firm that manufactures designer phone cases. Your production facility utilizes three machines. Quality is binary — each phone case is either defective or it is not defective. Each hour, Machines 1, 2, and 3 produce 10, 10 and 20 phone cases, respectively. But because the machines differ slightly in their technology, data on past production has shown that they differ in terms of their rates of defective output — specifically, Machines 1, 2, and 3 have rates of defective production of 2%, 4%, and 5%, respectively. If one phone case is selected randomly from one hour’s total output, and that phone case is found to be defective, what is the probability that it was produced by Machine 1? Machine 2? Machine 3?
section 5.4 Drug usage in the workplace costs employers incredible amounts of money each year. Drug testing potential employees have become so prevalent that drug users are finding it extremely hard to find jobs. Drug tests, however, are not completely reliable. To decrease the likelihood of making an error, all potential employees are screened through two tests, which are independent. One test has a 96% accuracy and the other has a 97% accuracy. Step 1 of 2 : If a person were drug free, what is the probability they would fail both tests? Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.

Suppose the entire cola industry produces only two colas. Given that a person last purchased cola 1, there a 70% chance that her next purchase will be cola 1. Given that a person last purchased cola 2, there is an 75% chance that her next purchase will be cola 2. Suppose that each customer makes one purchase of cola during any week (52 weeks=1 year). Suppose there are 150 million customers. One selling unit of cola costs the company $0.5 to produce and is sold for $2. For $200 million per year, Britney Spears (by an advertising song) guarantees to decrease from 30% to 15% the fraction of cola 1 customers who switch to cola 2 after a purchase. Should the company that makes cola 1 hire Britney Spears?
Psychologists Erik Erikson suggested that individuals go through eight developmental stages of life. Erikson believed that at stage 8 (age 65 to death), an adult's fear of death can be predicted by the satisfaction they feel when reflecting back on their lives. To investigate, a psychiatrist interviewed a random sample of adults age 65 and older, and scored them on their satisfaction with their lives and their fear of death. The psychiatrist wants to confirm Erikson's theory. What can be concluded with a = 0.01? fear of death satisfied 4 3 4 2 2 10 3 2 4 7 3 4 8. 4 a) Select and compute the appropriate statistic. ---Select--- b) Input the appropriate value(s) to make a decision about Ho. p-value X ; Decision: Fail to reject H0 v c) Using the SPSS results, compute the corresponding effect size(s) and indicate magnitude(s).

You are considering purchasing stand-alone shares in two companies: Company A and Company B. While both companies expect a rate of return of 15% under normal market conditions, the possible returns under strong and weak economies differ. There is a 30% chance of a weak economy outcome, a 30% chance of a strong economy outcome, and a 40% chance of a normal outcome. For Company A, under a strong economy, they expect a return of 75%. Under a weak economy, they expect a return of -45%. For Company B, under a strong economy, they expect a return of 23%. Under a weak economy, they expect a return of 7.5%. 1. Create a probability distribution table for both companies. 2. Calculate the standard deviation for both companies. 3. With the distribution, create either a bar graph or a bell curve to graph the two companies. 4. From your calculations, describe which company you would consider investing in, if you were risk averse.
