In a communication system the signal sent from point a to point b arrives by two paths in parallel. For path 1, the signal passes through two repeaters ( in series ). Each repeater has probability of failing ( becoming an open circuit ) of 0.1 . For path 2, the signal passes through one repeater with a probability of failing of 0.08. All repeaters fail independently of each other. Find the probability that the signal will not arrive at point b.

In a town, there are three bridges: Bridge A, Bridge B, and Bridge C. On any given day, the probability of each bridge being open for passage is as follows: P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.3, and P(C) = 0.5. If a resident needs to cross all three bridges in succession, what is the probability of successfully crossing all three bridges without encountering any closures?
The weather in Columbus is either good, indifferent, or bad on any given day. If the weather is good today, there is a 40% chance it will be good tomorrow, a 30% chance it will be indifferent, and a 30% chance it will be bad. If the weather is indifferent today, there is a 50% chance it will be good tomorrow, and a 20% chance it will be indifferent. Finally, if the weather is bad today, there is a 10% chance it will be good tomorrow and a 30% chance it will be indifferent. a. What is the stochastic matrix, P, for this situation? b. Suppose there is a 10% chance of good weather today and a 90% chance of indifferent weather. What are the chances of bad weather tomorrow? c. Suppose the predicted weather for Monday is 40% indifferent weather and 60% bad weather. What are the chances for good weather on Wednesday? a. Create the stochastic matrix, P, where G is good, I is indifferent, and B is Bad. From: GIB a (Simplify your answers.) To: G
Becky and Carla take an advanced yoga class. Becky can hold 29% of her poses for over a minute, while Carla can hold 35% of her poses for over a minute. Suppose each yoga student is asked to hold 50 poses. Let B the proportion of poses Becky can hold for over a minute and C = the proportion of poses Carla can hold for over a minute. What is the probability that Becky's proportion of poses held for over a minute is greater than Carla's? Find the z-table here.

The device consists of 3 elements. The probability of failure free operation of each of them are respectively equal to. 0.6, 0.7, 0.8. Find the probability that at least two of elements will work without fail.
The route used by a certain motorist in commuting to work contains two intersections with traffic signals. The probability that he must stop at the first signal is 0.45, the analogous probability for the second signal is 0.5, and the probability that he must stop at at least one of the two signals is 0.9. (a) What is the probability that he must stop at both signals? X (b) What is the probability that he must stop at the first signal but not at the second one? X (c) What is the probability that he must stop at exactly one signal?
Let (X, Y ) be independent and uniformly distributed random variables (RVs) on the interval[0, 1]. Equivalently, let (X, Y ) be a point chosen uniformly at random in the unit box [0, 1] × [0, 1] on the(x, y) plane. Define the RV Z ≜ √X^2−Y^2 as the random distance of the point (X, Y ) from the origin (0, 0). Find the probability density function (PDF) for the RV Z.
Jack has just been given a ten-question multiple choice quiz in history class. Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct. Since Jack has not attended class recently, he does not know any of the answers. Assuming Jack guesses randomly on all ten questions, find the probability that he will answer six or more of the questions correctly and avoid an F.
Task 4. The owner of a farm put 20 000 eggs into incubators, wanting to complete an order for 10 000 cockerels. The principal has determined that the order should be fulfilled with an accuracy of 200 eggs. Calculate the probability of success for the farm owner, knowing that a hen hatches from every second egg.
