One of the n encrypted files in a folder is a special file. K of these files are removed one at a time by an attacker who has access to the folder. Each choice has an equal chance of being any of the currently available files. What is the probability that the person will withdraw the special file? You must justify or explain how you arrived at your conclusion.

The sales agent Parson works in three cities A, B and C. To avoid unnecessary travel, he stays all day in the same city and spends the night there, moving to another city the next day if he does not have enough work. After working one day in C, the probability of having to continue working there the next day is 0.4, the probability of having to travel to B is 0.4 and the probability of having to travel to A is 0.2. If the traveler sleeps one day in B, with a probability of 20% he will have to continue working in the same city the next day, in 60% of the cases he will travel to C, while he will go to A with a probability of 0.2. Finally, if the sales representative works all day in A, he will remain in the same city the next day with a probability of 0.1, he will go to B with a probability of 0.3 and to C with a probability of 0.6. A) If today the commuter is in C, what is the probability that he will also have to work in C on the fifth day B) What are the percentages of days that the…
Factories A, B and C produce computers. Factory A produces 4 times as many computers as factory C, and factory B produces 6 times as many computers as factory C. The probability that a computer produced by factory A is defective is 0.013, the probability that a computer produced by factory B is defective is 0.049, and the probability that a computer produced by factory C is defective is 0.056. A computer is selected at random and it is found to be defective. What is the probability it came from factory A? Answer:
There are two white balls in box B1, two red balls in box B2, two white and two red balls in box B3, and three white and one red balls in box B4. The probability of choosing boxes B1, B2, B3 or B4 is given as 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and 1/8 respectively. One of the boxes is chosen at random and a ball is drawn at random from the selected box. What is the probability that the selected ball comes from box B3 under the condition that it is white?
A huge pencil bag contains 40 pencils of two different shades, 4B and 6B. Initially, there are x numbers of 6B pencils in the bag. If 45 more 6B pencils are put in the bag, the probability of randomly picking a 6B pencil now will be quadruple that of the previous probability of picking a 6B pencil. With the given information, evaluate the original number of 6B shade in the pencil bag.

Factories A, B and C produce computers. Factory A produces 4 times as many computers as factory C, and factory B produces 6 times as many computers as factory C. The probability that a computer produced by factory A is defective is 0.038, the probability that a computer produced by factory B is defective is 0.035, and the probability that a computer produced by factory C is defective is 0.047. A computer is selected at random and it is found to be defective. What is the probability it came from factory B? Answer:
You are the teacher of two math classes of 20 and 25 students respectively. To get into a university program, the students need a 75% in the class. Suppose each student has a 0.7 probability of getting atleast a 75% in the class. Let X1 be the number of students in the class of 20 who receive atleast a 75%. Let X2 be the number of students in the class of 25 who receive atleast a 75%. a. Do X1 and X2 fit the binomial setting? Are there any issues? For the rest of the question, assume both X1 and X2 can be modeled by a binomial distri- bution. b. What is the probability that exactly 15 students in the class of 20 get into the pro- gram? Do not use Table C. c. What is the probability that atleast 22 students in the class of 25 get into the pro- gram? Do not use Table C. d. Using Table C, what is the probability that atleast 17 students in the class of 20 get into the program? е. Let X be the number of students in both classes that get into the program.

A group of five students went to a hotel with 10 upper floors and a ground floor. The students simultaneously enter the elevator at the ground floor. The students choose their exit floors independently of each other. Determine the probability that they are all going to different floors when each student randomly chooses one of the 10 floors as their exit floor.
