Problem 1 The University of Oklahoma has a renowned radar research program within the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Say that there are two radar prototypes under development, A1 and A2, and the effectiveness of each is determined by their ability to spatially detect a particular object. A1 has a probability of 0.5 of detecting the object, and A2 has probability 0.3 of detecting the object. a. Find the probability that the object is detected. b. Find the probability that the object is detected by exactly one of the radar prototypes. c. Given that the object was detected by exactly one of the prototypes, find the probability that it was A1 that detected it.

For the three-part question that follows, provide your answer to each question in the given workspace. Identify each part with a coordinating response. Be sure to clearly label each part of your response as Part A, Part B, and Part C. A bag contains three blue marbles, five red marbles, and four green marbles. Part A: What is the probability of selecting a red marble? Part B: What is the probability of selecting three red marbles without replacement? Part C: In a short paragraph, explain in your own words your work to Step B.

Problem 16-05 To generate leads for new business, Gustin Investment Services offers free financial planning seminars at major hotels in Southwest Florida. Gustin conducts seminars for groups of 25 individuals. Each seminar costs Gustin $3900, and the average first-year commission for each new account opened is $5200. Gustin estimates that for each individual attending the seminar, there is a 0.01 probability that he/she will open a new account. Determine the equation for computing Gustin’s profit per seminar, given values of the relevant parameters. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.Profit = (New Accounts Opened × $ fill in the blank 1) – $ fill in the blank 2 What type of random variable is the number of new accounts opened? (Hint: Review Appendix 16.1 for descriptions of various types of probability distributions.)The number of new accounts opened is a random variable with fill in the blank 4 trials and fill in the blank 5 probability of a success on a single trial.…

Problem 10 An assembler of computer routers and modems uses parts from two sources. Company A supplies 80% of the parts, and Company B supplies the remaining 20% of parts. From past experience, the assembler knows that 5% of the parts supplied by Company A are defective, and 3% of the parts supplied by Company B are defective. An assembled modem selected at random is found to have a defective part. What is the probability that the part came from Company A? Company B? (adapted from [Mendenhall and Sincich 2016], exercise 3.94).
