sample of four electronic components is taken from the output of a production line. The probabilities of the various outcomes are calculated to be: Pr [0 defectives] = 0.6561, Pr [1 defective] = 0.2916, Pr [2 defectives] = 0.0486, Pr [3 defectives] = 0.0036, Pr [4 defectives] = 0.0001. What is the probability of at least one defective?

Philips Electronics is experimenting with the manufacture of a new type of electric bulb that is very difficult to mass produce at an acceptable quality level. Every hour the Quality Control Manager (QCM) takes a random sample of 6 bulbs produced on the assembly line and tests them for their quality sequentially. Probability that any one bulb is defective is considered to be 0.12. The QCM wants to know the probability of finding 3, 4, or 5. What is the probability of finding 3, 4, or 5 defectives in a random sample of 6 electric bulbs?NOTE: DONOT SOLVE ON EXCEL
In the U.S., about 85% of people are Rh positive for blood type. You take a sample of size 7. Use R to calculate the following probabilities: a) Pr{Y = 2} b) Pr{Y = 5}
A production of 20 fuses is received by the store. It is known that 4 of the fuses are defective. The quality control engineer randomly selected three of the fuses from the production run. Find the probability that two of the fuses selected are defective.
A state government hired a contractor for a road-construction project. The contractor's type, its cost efficienciency, is unknown to the government. There is 2/3 probability of the its construction cost being 3 (billion dollars per lane) and 1/3 probability of the cost being 5. More lanes yield more social benefit in the form of faster travel and fewer accidents. The social value V (measured in billions of dollars) from having N lanes on the highway is: V-15N-N?/2. The government is interested in choose N and writing a contract to maximize the benefit to the state (V) net of the fee paid to the contractor (call it F); G-V-F. Your goal as a government official is to design a pair of contracts to separate the types of contractor. You want the contractor to choose "Contract L: Build N lanes and get paid RL dollars" if its cost type is low cost of $3 (billion dollars per lane) and to choose "Contract H: Build NH lanes and get paid RH dollars" if its cost type is high cost $5 (billion…
A particular automatic sprinkler system has two different types of activation devices for each sprinkler head. One type has a reliability of 0.75; that is, the probability that it will activate the sprinkler when it should is 0.75. The other type, which operates independently of the first type, has a reliability of 0.85. If either device is triggered, the sprinkler will activate. Suppose a fire starts near a sprinkler head. (provide your answer in four decimal numbers) (i) What is the probability that the sprinkler head will be activated? (1.5) (ii) What is the probability that the sprinkler head will not be activated? (1.5) (iii) What is the probability that both activation devices will work properly? (1.5) (iv) What is the probability that only the device with reliability 0.75 will work properly? (1.5)
A gas station has three grades of fuel, regular, premium and diesel. Due to problems with the supply chain, the probabilities that the station will run out of any three fuel types in a week are 0.10, 0.16 and 0.24, respectively. These probabilities are statistically independent. Also, if there is a shortage of diesel, the probability of a shortage of premium becomes 0.25. 1. How likely is the station to run out of all three fuels in a given week? 2. What is the probability that if regular runs out, both premium and diesel will also run out? 3. What is the probability that the station will run out of at least one of either premium and diesel? 4. What is the probability that the station will run out of at least 2 of the fuels in a week?
A manufacturer wishes to estimate the accuracy of its final visual inspection process. A random sample of 180 devices is selected from production. An item is defective or “bad” if it contains at least one visually noticeable cosmetic defect. The process improvement team agrees that the sample contains 27 bad items and 153 good items. The team gives the items to a “certified” operator for inspection. The operator rejects 10 good pieces and accepts 11 bad pieces and classifies the remainder correctly. What is the probability that the inspector will reject an item? P(inspector will reject an item) = ________%. Enter value using one decimal place.
