Students arrive in a different school (Poisson process w/ 3 per hour). The school is not large so students are divide into teams. Each team consists one, two or three students w/ respective probabilities 0.7, 0.2, and 0.1. The school is open for 8 hours. Also, each arrival of teams is independent. What is the expected number of students entering the school on a day?

Zia tossed a pair of fair dice six times. She then observed the expected number of times that: the sum of the dots in the upturned faces of the pair is 7 or 11, the dots in the upturned faces of the pair are the same, and any other combinations aside from a and b occur. If all these expected numbers are greater than 2, she will ask for help from her sister. Otherwise, she will ask for help from his father. Who would she ask for help?
A nuclear reactor becomes unstable if both safety mechanisms A and B fail. The probabilities of failure are P(A) =1/300 and P(B) = 1/200. Also, if A has failed, B is then more likely to fail: P(B/A)=1/100. a) What is the probability of the reactor going unstable? b) If B has failed, what is the probability of the reactor going unstable?
The purchase patterns for two brands of toothpaste can be expressed as aMarkov process with the following transition probabilities: Which brand appears to have the most loyal customers? Explain.
Omar commutes from his home to Concordia by car. To try to get to his class on time, he tries different routes to get to Concordia but heavy traffic and construction keeps occurring randomly along his four favourite routes: routes A, B, C, and D, which he takes with probabilities of 0.4, 0.15, 0.3, and 0.15, respectively. If he takes route A then he is on time for class with a probability of 0.7, if route B then he is on time with probability 0.9, if route C then he is on time with probability 0.8, and if route D then he is on time with probability 0.6. (a)What is the probability that Omar arrives to class on time? (b) If Omar arrives to class on time, what is the probability that he took route A?
Suppose you have 3 events A,B,C and exactly one happens and are equally likely. There is another event E and we know P(E|A)=.4, P(E|B)=.7, and P(E|C)=.8. Suppose we don't know if A,B, or C was the event that happened, but we do know E happened. Find the three probabilities that A happened, B happened, and C happened.
A social event allows free entrance to those with Aim High credit card or those with the car Elite. The probabilities of having Aim High and Elite among the employees of a company are 0.10 and 0.05, respectively. Having Aim High is found to be independent of owning Elite. If 1,000 invitations are sent randomly to employees of the company, estimate the number who will be given free entrance.
