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?

When the health department tested private wells in a county for two impurities commonly found in drinking water, it found that 10% of the wells had neither impurity, 90% had impurity A, and 20% had impurity B. (Obviously, some had both impurities.) If a well is randomly chosen from those in the county, find the probability distribution for Y, the number of impurities found in the well. P(no impurities)= P(exactly one impurity)= P(both impurities)=
A large insurance company indicates that 78% of the policy holders have at least one health issues and 22% do not health issues. Let Y1 be a random variable defined as Y1 = 0, if the policy holder does not have any health issues; Y1 = 1, if the if the policy holder have health issues. Write the probability distribution of Y1, E(Y1) and Var(Y1).
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.
An online customer service department estimates that about 15 percent of callers have to wait more than 8 minutes to have their calls answered by a person. The department conducted a simulation of 1,000 trials to estimate the probabilities that a certain number of callers out of the next 10 callers will have to wait more than 8 minutes to have their calls answered. The simulation is shown in the following histogram. Based on the simulation, what is the probability that at most 2 of the next 10 callers will have to wait more than 8 minutes to have their calls answered?
The probabilities are 0.4, 0.2 and 0.3 and 0.1, respectively, that a student uses LAN,Wifi, Prepaid Data, or Hotspot for internet connection. What is the probability thatamong 10 randomly selected students, 2 use LAN, 4 use Wifi, 3 use prepaid data,and 1 uses Hotspot for their internet connection?
A factory uses a specific machine to produce pieces. From previous data, we know that 97% of the time the machine is set up correctly. If this is the case, it produces 95% acceptable (non-defective) pieces. However, if it is not set up correctly, it produces only 40% of acceptable pieces Q23 Given that the selected piece is non-defective, what is the probability that the machine is set up correctly? Your answer should be in % and have two digits after the period. So, if your answer is 50.023%, enter 50.02. Your Answer:
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 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.
