Suppose that a part is randomly selected from a set of parts {S1, M1, L1, S2, M2, L2} which represents small, medium and large parts (S,M,L) from two companies 1, 2. Consider the events: A = {the part is S or M} = {S1, M1, S2, M2} B = {the part is M or L} = {M1, L1, M2, L2} Describe whether or not these events are independent.

We are given that P(A | B) = 0.4 and P(A) = 0.3. Since P(A | B) ≠ P(A), the occurrence of event B changes the probability that event A will occur. This implies that A and B are ---Select--- not independent independent events.So, to determine P(A and B), we can apply the general multiplication rule for events. Recall that P(B) = 0.9. P(A and B) = P(B) · P(A | B)

Say that COOP Ale Works, an Oklahoma brewery, uses three production lines to manufacture beer cans. The table below gives percentages of nonconforming cans, categorized by the type of nonconformity, for each of the three lines during a particular year. During this period, line 1 produced 500 nonconforming cans, line 2 produced 400 such cans, and line 3 was responsible for 600 nonconforming cans. Suppose that one of these 1500 cans was selected at random. Table attached in Image. a. What is the probability that the can was produced by line 1? b. What is the probability that the reason for nonconformance is a crack? c. If the selected can came from line 1, what is the probability that it had a blemish? d. Given that the selected can had a surface defect, what is the probability that it came from line 2?
There are two white balls in box B1, two red balls in box B2, two white and two red balls in box B3, and three white and one red balls in box B4. The probability of choosing boxes B1, B2, B3 or B4 is given as 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and 1/8 respectively. One of the boxes is chosen at random and a ball is drawn at random from the selected box. What is the probability that the selected ball comes from box B3 under the condition that it is white?
An analyst is presented with lists of 4 stocks and 5 bonds. He is asked to predict, in order, the 2 stocks that will yield the highest return over the next year and the 2 bonds that will have the highest return over the next year. Suppose that these predictions are made randomly and independently of each other. What is the probability that the analyst will be successful in at least 1 of the 2 tasks?
