Assume that there is a 66% rate of disk drive failure in a year. a. If all your computer data is stored on a hard disk drive with a copy stored on a second hard disk drive, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? b. If copies of all your computer data are stored on fourfour independent hard disk drives, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? a. With two hard disk drives, the probability that catastrophe can be avoided is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. With fourfour hard disk drives, the probability that catastrophe can be avoided is (Round to six decimal places as needed.)
Suppose that in the small state of Rhode Island in the USA, the average number of women suffering severe osteoporosis (due to the consumption of dairy products) in any given month is 12. What is the probability that in just one-quarter of a month there will be eight (8) women found suffering severe osteoporosis?

5. A manufacturer of cell phones purchases batteries from a vendor. It is not uncommon to receive defective batteries from this vendor, thus whenever a shipment is received, a sample of batteries is inspected. For this month's shipment, a random sample of 280 batteries is selected and each battery is inspected. If the proportion of defective batteries sampled is more than 1.5%, the entire shipment will be returned to the vendor. What is the probability that this month's shipment will be returned if the true proportion of defective batteries is 4%?
Assume that there is a 9% rate of disk drive failure in a year. a. If all your computer data is stored on a hard disk drive with a copy stored on a second hard disk drive, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? b. If copies of all your computer data are stored on four independent hard disk drives, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? a. With two hard disk drives, the probability that catastrophe can be avoided is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Detecting terrorists is a real problem, one that causes governments to spend millions per year. A particular surveillance system has been developed which correctly identifies a future terrorist 99% of the times and detects someone who is not a future terrorist 99.9% of times. Suppose that in a population of 300 million, there are 1000 potential/future terrorists. If one of these 300 million is randomly selected and scrutinized by the system, what is the probability that the person selected is actually a future terrorist? Also explain if the value of this probability makes you uncomfortable about using a surveillance system? Explain.

According to Mendel’s theory, if tall and colorful plants are crossed with short and colorless plants, the corresponding probabilities are 9/16, 3/16, 3/16, and 1/16 for tall and colorful, tall and colorless, short and colorful, and short and colorless, respectively. If 8 plants are selected, find the probability that 1 will be tall and colorful, 3 will be tall and colorless, 3 will be short and colorful, and 1 will be short and colorless.(4 decimal digits)
Suppose a population consists of 10 items, four of which are classified as defective and six of which are classified as non-defective. What is the probability that a random sample of size three will contain two defective items?
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), up to 20% of Americans contract the influenza virus each year, and approximately 3% of all births in the United States result in birth defects each year. Consider two randomly selected Americans and assume that these two randomly selected Americans are independent of each other. The probability that neither of these two randomly selected Americans will contract the influenza virus in a given year is
