It has been determined that 5% of cars checked at PepBoys have faulty brakes and 10% of cars checked have suspension problems. In addition, it has been observed that the two are independent from one another. If a mechanic checks five cars at random: Calculate the probability that exactly three of the cars have any one of the two problems:

Among a large group of patients recover-ing from shoulder injuries, it is found that 22% visit both a physical therapist and a chiropractor, whereas 12% visit neither of these. The probability that a patient visits a chiropractor exceeds by 0.14 the probability that a patient visits a physicaltherapist. Determine the probability that a randomly chosenmember of this group visits a physical therapist. Choose one ofthe following. (Hint: Use the union rule for probability, and letx = P(patient visits a physical therapist).) Source: Society ofActuaries.a. 0.26 b. 0.38 c. 0.40d. 0.48 e. 0.62
Two competing airlines, Alpha and Beta, fly a route between Des Moines, lowa, and Wichita, Kansas. Each airline claims to have a lower percentage of flights that arrive late. Let p, be the proportion of Alpha's flights that arrive late and p2 the proportion of Beta's flights that arrive late. Suppose that p, = 0.32 and p2 = 0.25. Find the probability that a sample of 100 flights for each airline (200 in all) would yield P, 2 Pz- Round your answer to four decimal places. P (Pi 2 P2) = i

Each of two parents has the genotype brown / red, which consists of the pair of alleles that determine hair color, and each parent contributes one of those alleles to a child. Assume that if the child has at least one brown allele, that color will dominate and the child's hair color will be brown. a. List the different possible outcomes. Assume that these outcomes are equally likely. b. What is the probability that a child of these parents will have the red / red genotype? c. What is the probability that the child will have brown hair color? a. List the possible outcomes. O A. brown / brown, brown / red, and red/ red O B. brown / brown, brown / red, red/brown, and red/ red O C. brown / brown and red/red O D. brown /red and red / brown b. The probability that a child of these parents will have the red/red genotype is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) c. The probability that the child will have brown hair color is (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

A local country club has a membership of 600 and operates facilities that include an 18-hole championship golf course and 12 tennis courts. Before deciding whether to accept new members, the club president would like to know how many members regularly use each facility. A survey of the membership indicates that 69% regularly use the golf course, 45% regularly use the tennis courts, and 10% use neither of these facilities regularly. Given that a randomly selected member uses the tennis courts regularly, find the probability that they also use the golf course regularly.
suppose we select an SRS of 1010 adults. If it is believed that 60% of all adults are very satisfied with their lives, what is the probability that at least 610 adults in our sample are very satisfied with their lives?Let X be the number (out of 1010) of adults who are very satisfied with their lives. What distribution should X have? Why?
A study by a reputable research organization found that when presented with prints from the same individual, a fingerprint expert will correctly identify the match 91% of the time. In contrast, a novice will correctly identify the match 77% of the time. Consider a sample of seven different pairs of fingerprints, where each pair is a match. Complete parts a and b below. a. What is the probability that an expert will correctly identify the match in all seven pairs of fingerprints? The probability is enter your response here. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. What is the probability that a novice will correctly identify the match in all seven pairs of fingerprints? The probability is enter your response here. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Pollsters are concerned about declining levels of cooperation among persons contacted in surveys. A pollster contacts 94 people in the 18-21 age bracket and finds that 80 of them respond and 14 refuse to respond. When 265 people in the 22-29 age bracket are contacted, 241 respond and 24 refuse to respond. Assume that 1 of the 359 people is randomly splected. Find the probability of getting someone in the 22-29 age bracket or someone who refused to respornd. Report the answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place accuracy. You need not enter the "%" symbol. P(22-29 or refused) % %3D (Hint: It might be helpful to organize the data into a table first.)

A psychology teacher teaches two statistics classes back-to-back, lecture L1 at 09:00 am and lecture CL1 at 10 am. Suppose the probability that the instructor gives a good L1 lecture is 0.25. If L1 lecture is good, then CL1 lecture is also good with probability 0.50. However, if L1 lecture is bad, then there is an 90% chance that CL1 lecture will also be bad. a) What proportion of the CL1 lectures are good? b) Suppose CL1 lecture was good. What is the probability that L1 lecture was also good? c) What is the probability that at least one lecture is good (i.e., either L1 lecture is good or CL1 lecture is good, or both)?
There are declining levels of cooperation among persons contacted in surveys and this brings concerns to pollsters. A pollster contacts 92 people in the 18-21 age bracket and finds that 78 of them respond and 14 refuse to respond. When 276 people in the 22-29 age bracket are contacted, 259 respond and 17 refuse to respond. Assume that 1 of the 368 people is randomly selected. Find the probability of getting someone in the 22-29 age bracket or someone who agreed to respond. Report the answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place accuracy.

A survey showed that 80% of adults need correction (eyeglasses, contacts, surgery, etc) for their eyesight. If 19 adults are randomly selected find the probability that no more than 1 of them need correction for their eyesight. Is 1 significantly low number of adults requiring eyesight correction. a. The probability that no more than 1 of the 19 adults require eyesight correction is b. Is 1 significantly low number of adults requiring eyesight correction: Note that a small probability is one that is less than 0.05.
