In a factory, two machines M1 and M2 are used jointly to manufacture cylin-drical parts in series. For a given period, their probabilities of breaking down are respectively 0, 01 and 0, 008. Moreover, the probability of the event “the machine M2 is down knowing that M1 is down” is equal to 0, 4. 1. What is the probability of having both machines down at the same time? 2. What is the probability of having at least one working machine?

5. Suppose that you know that your friend was born sometime in the year 2001, but not which day. Given this state of ignorance, we can model your friend's birthday as being chosen uniformly at random from the 365 days of a non-leap year. (In reality, these are not entirely uniform, but they're pretty close, and we can ignore this effect.) (a) What is the probability that your friend was born in January? (b) Suppose you remember that your friend's birthday is on the 20th (of some month). Conditioned on this fact, what is the probability that your friend was born in January? (c) Now suppose you remember that your friend's birthday is on the 30th (of soe month). Conditioned on this fact, what is the probability that your friend was born in January?
Suppose 50% of the registered voters in a country are Republican if a sample of 598 voters is selected what is the probability that the simple proportion of republicans will be greater than 47% round your answer to 4 decimal places
13.) A string of Christmas lights contains 20 lights. The lights are wired in series, so that if any light fails, the whole string will go dark. Each light has probability 0.98 of working for a 3- year period. The lights fail independently of each other. Find the probability that the string of lights will remain bright for 3 years.

What is the probability you will roll a double (two 1 ’s, two 2 ’s, two 3 ’s, and so on)? Your answer may be short but you must show what numbers you multiplied/divided/added/subtracted by to get your final answer. It would be written in ” P(E) = ” form.
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?
15. Each time a shopper purchases a tube of toothpaste, he chooses either brand A or brand B. On each purchase, the probability that he will choose the same brand of toothpaste that he chose on his preceding purchase is 1/3, and the probability that he will switch brands is 2/3. Suppose on his first purchase the probability that he will choose brand A is 1/4 and the probability that he will choose brand B is 3/4. What is the probability that the second purchase will be brand B?
19. In a battery factory there are two production lines (A and B). The probability of a battery failing is known to be 0.04. If 40% of production is done on line A, what is the probability that, when selecting a battery at random, it will occur on line B and be defective?

Suppose one NBA player can get one point in each free shot with probability 0.8. Now he has five times of free shots and it is reasonable to assume that the result in each shot has no impact on other shots. (b) What is the probability of his getting 3 points?(c) What is the probability of his getting at least 2 points?(d) we define an unusual event if the chance of the event is below 5%. Is it an unusual event that he lost all his shots? please explain each step fully
