One of two boxes contains 4 red balls and 2 green balls and the second box contains 4 green and two red balls. By design, the probabilities of selecting box 1 or box 2 at random are 1/3 for box 1 and 2/3 for box 2. A box is selected at random and a ball is selected at random from it. What is the probability it is green? Answer is Blank 1 - Use 4 decimal places

A drunken pirate stands in the center of a ship's deck. Every second the pirate moves right or left only. Every second the pirate moves to the right with a probability of 0.1 The steps are independent of each other. The edge of the deck is 5 steps away from the pirate. What is the chance that the pirate will fall off the ship after exactly 5 seconds?
A new analytical method to detect pollutants (D) in water is being tested. This new method of chemical analysis is important because, if adopted, it could be used to detect three different contaminants-organic pollutants (O), volatile solvents (V), and chlorinated compounds (C)-instead of having to use a single test for each pollutant. The makers of the test claim that it can detect high levels of organic pollutants with 99.7% accuracy, volatile solvents with 99.95% accuracy, and chlorinated components with 89.7% accuracy. If a pollutant is not present, the test does not signal. Samples are prepared for the calibration of the test and 60% of them are contaminated with organic pollutants, 27% with volatile solvents, and 13% with traces of chlorinated compounds. A test sample is selected randomly. (a) What is the probability that the test will signal? (b) If the test signals, what is the probability that chlorinated compounds are present? Note: Use the notations in the brackets to…

Professor John is designing a water flask and he needs to know the probability that the filtration system will fail during a water cleaning. Based on previous data, Professor John estimates that the probability of a filtration system failure during the filtration cleaning is 0.05. If the water flask is used for 365 days in a year, what is the probability that the filtration system will not fail during any cleaning in a year?
