Suppose two forces Red and Blue, with Red having a starting force = 2, and Blue having a starting force = 1. Engage in a stochastic Lanchester battle assuming square law, in a fight-to-the-finish, with Red a = 0.01 casualties per minute, and Blue b = 0.03 casualties per minute. (a) What is the expected time of the first casualty? (b) What is the probability that there are no casualties in the first 20 minutes? (c) What is the expected number of Red survivors and the expected length of the battle?

1. Event A occurs with probability 0.1. Event B occurs with probability 0.6. If A and B are independent, then (а) Р(А or B) %3D 0.70. (b) Р(А or B) 3 0.06. (c) P(A and B) = 0.06. (d) P(A and B) = 0.70.
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?
Dace is a political analyst for a presidential candidate (Aspirant A) with two strong competitors (Aspirants B and C). She analyzed that B and C have exactly the same chance of winning a seat while A has twice the chance of either B and C. With the given information, what is the chance of A in winning.
A company buys microchips from three suppliers I, II and III. Supplier I has a record of providing microchips that contain 10% defective; supplier a defective rate of 5% and supplier III has a defective rate of 3%. Suppose 10%, 40% and 50% of the current supply came from suppliers I, II and III, respectively. If a randomly selected microchip is defective, what is the probability that it came from supplier II? Express your answer accurate to two decimal places. O 48 O..40 O something else O 44 O 41
Suppose an oil company is thinking of buying some land for $10,000,000. There is a 60%60% chance of economic growth and a 40%40% chance of recession. The probability of discovering oil is 44%44% when there is economic growth and 32%32% when there is a recession. If there is economic growth and the oil company discovers oil, the value of the land will triple. If they do not discover oil, the value of the land will decrease by 10%.10%. If there is a recession and the company discovers oil, the value of the land will increase by 50%.50%. If they do not discover oil, the land will decrease in value by 75%.75%. What is the expected value of the investment? Give your answer to the nearest dollar. Avoid rounding within calculations. $$ Select the correct interpretation of the expected value. The expected value represents what the actual investment value will be for this land purchase of $10,000,000. The company should make the investment because the expected value…
Factories A, B and C produce computers. Factory A produces 4 times as many computers as factory C, and factory B produces 6 times as many computers as factory C. The probability that a computer produced by factory A is defective is 0.038, the probability that a computer produced by factory B is defective is 0.035, and the probability that a computer produced by factory C is defective is 0.047. A computer is selected at random and it is found to be defective. What is the probability it came from factory B? Answer:
Both flu and covid produce fevers. You know from past research that 10% of the population gets flu each year, but it is possible to get both covid and flu. Assume that the probability of getting flu and covid are independent. If this year the percentage of people reporting fever is 20%, what percentage of the population has covid? Studies show that due to similar transmission of flu and covid, someone who has covid has a 20% chance of also getting flu. What then is the probability of someone who has flu also having covid? Given the conditional information above, what is a better estimate of the percentage of people who have covid given the 20% fever reporting?
Global Airlines operates two types of jet planes: jumbo and ordinary. Of Global's air fleet, 40% of its capacity is provided on jumbo jets. Global serves two types of customers, business and tourist. Business customers are 70% of Global customers, while tourists make up 30%. 15% of Global's customers fly on jumbo jets and are tourists. What is the probability that a customer is a tourist and flies on a regular jet?
