In a factory which manufactures bolts, machines A, B and C manufacture 25%, 35 % and 40 % of the bolts. Of their outputs, 5, 4, and 2 percent are respectively defective bolts. A bolt is drawn at random from the product and is found to be defective. What is the probability it is manufactured by Machine C?

Consider three classes (I, II and III) consisting of 30, 25, and 45 students. Suppose a student is selected from class I, then he has 10% chance to make an A. Assume that these probabilities for the class II and III are 15% and 20% respectively. If a student is selected randomly and has an A, what is the probability that he is from class II. Enter your answer to the nearest FOUR decimal places.
In a certain assembly plant, three machines A1, A2, and A3 make 30%, 45% and 25% respectively, of the product. Its known from past experience that 3%, 2%, and 4% of the product made by each machine, respectively are defective. If the selected product is defective, what is the probability that it was made by machine A1? Select one: O a. 0.3214 O b.0.14 O c. 0.3142 O d. 0.028

Previously, De Anza's statistics students estimated that the amount of change daytime statistics students carry is exponentially distributed with a mean of $0.88. Suppose that we randomly pick 25 daytime statistics students. Find the probability that an individual had between $0.80 and $1.00. Graph the situation, and shade in the area to be determined.

Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disease in which red blood cells become distorted and deprived of oxygen. A person with two sickle cell genes will have the disease, but a person with only one sickle cell gene will have a mild, non-fatal anemia called sickle cell trait. Using S to represent the sickle cell gene, and s a healthy gene, the table shows the four possibilities for the children of two Ss parents. Find the probability that these parents give birth to a child who has sickle cell anemia. Second Parent First Parent Ss sS P(child has sickle cell anemia) =| (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
