Suppose there are a million cars made by a car company across the globe, where the probability that a car has a defective brake part is 0.0002. Based on the Monte Carlo algorithm, determine the minimum number of cars that needs to be tested so the probability of finding not even a defective car among those tested is less than two in a million. Use a calculator to simplify your answer and obtain the minimum number of cars.

A bakery produces an average of 50 loaves of bread per day. The number of loaves produced by the bakery follows a Poisson distribution. What is the probability that the bakery will sell at least two loaves of bread in a day? Explain each step along with the computation.
A mathematics researcher has pointed out a problem with massive, untargeted wiretaps. To illustrate the problem, he supposes that one out of every million citizens of a certain country has terrorist ties. Furthermore, he supposes that the terrorist profile is 98.4% accurate, so that if a person has terrorist ties, the profile will pick them up 98.4% the time, and if the person does not have terrorist ties, the profile will accidentally pick them up only 1.6% of the time. Given that the profile has picked up a person, what is t probability that the person actually has terrorist ties? The probability is (Type an integer or a decimal rounded to six decimal places as needed.)
Industrial Robots are programmed to operate through microprocessors. The probability that one such computerized robot breaks down during any one 8-hour shift is 0.2. Find the probability that the robot will operate for at most five shifts before breaking down twice.
A coin has been weighted so that landing on "heads" is 4 times greater than landing on "tails". You decide to flip the coin 3 times. Construct a tree diagram and determine the probability that the coin lands on heads only once. Explain your answer.
The probability of winning a prize in a game of chance is 048. What is the least number of games that must be played to ensure that the probability of winning at least twice is more than 0.95?
An integrated circuit contains 9.5x10 logic gates; each gate can be a logical AND or OR circuit. Assume the probability of a gate failure is p and that the failures are independent. If any gate in the circuit fails, the entire circuit will fail. What should be the value of p so that the probability that the integrated circuit functions is 0.95? 5.

SOLVE STEP BY STEP IN DIGITAL FORMAT 10. The semarnat has set the average number of bacteria per cm3 of water at 70, as a limit. An average value greater than 70 can cause hepatitis in people who eat clams. It has been shown that the probability distribution of the number of bacteria can be modeled as a normal one. In order to decide if certain waters meet the standard, nine water samples were taken, and the following bacteria counts were obtained: 69,74,75,70,72,73,71,73,68. Do the data show that the waters are safe for fishing, at the 5% level of significance?
