Six batteries are needed in the production of toy trucks. The quality assurance department requires that each truck be tested before it gets boxed for distribution. During this test, if one of the batteries is dead, the toy truck will not function and would have to be reworked and be sent back. Assume that the batteries are obtained from a large lot that consists of 20% dead batteries. Calculate the probability that a toy would have to be reworked. What is the probability that out of five toy trucks, two will not function?

Suzanne has injured her leg and may not be able to play in the next lacrosse game. If she can play, the coach estimates that the team will score 8 points. If she is not able to play, the coach estimates that the team will score 4 points. The doctor states there is a 40% chance that she will be able to play and a 60% chance that she will not be able to play. Determine the expected number of points that the team will scor
If a seed is planted, it has a 95% chance of growing into a healthy plant.If eleven seeds are planted, what is the probability that exactly three don't grow?
Some electronic devices are better used than new: The failure rate is higher when they are new than when they are six months old. For example, 43.00% of the personal music players of a particular brand have a flaw. If the player has the flaw, it dies in the first six months. If it does not have this flaw, then only 3.000% fail in the first six months. Yours died after you had it for three months. What are the chances that it has this flaw?
If a seed is planted, it has an 80% chance of growing into a healthy plant. If 12 seeds are planted, what is the probability that exactly 1 doesn’t grow?
A study tracked a large group of people for 10 years. At the start of the study, 20% were heavy smokers (H), 30% were light smokers (L), and 50% were non-smokers (N). The interest of the study was whether the people in the study died during the study (D) or not die (Dc ). The probability that a light smoker died during the study was twice that of the probability of a non-smoker dying. Also, the probability that light smoker died during the study was half that of the probability of a heavy smoker dying. A randomly selected person from the study died during the study. What is the probability that this person was a heavy smoker (given they died, what is the probability they were a heavy smoker H)?

A nylon connector manufacturing plant yields 15 % defective items. If 1000 connectors are randomly picked from the process, what is the probability that the number of defectives exceeds 170?
A manufacturer makes two models of an item: model I, which accounts for 75% of unit sales, and model II, which accounts for 25% of unit sales. Because of defects, the manufacturer has to replace (or exchange) 5% of its model I and 10% of its model II. If a model is selected at random, find the probability that it will be defective. Please round the final answer to 2 or 3 decimal places. P(detective)=
