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?

The principle of redundancy is used when system reliability is improved through redundant or backup components. Assume that a student's alarm clock has a 19.1% daily failure rate. If the student has two such alarm clocks, what is the probability that they both fail on the morning of an important final exam?
4. In operations management, you learn that intermittent systems produce a variety of products one at a time (or in batches) to customer order. These systems contrast with continuous systems, in which a large number of homogeneous products are produced. One feature of intermittent systems is that new orders arrive at irregular intervals. For example, orders for business letterhead may come into the Ben Franklin Print Shop at the rate of .5 per day. What is the probability that the time between two orders is less than one day?
1. A beverage manufacturing company uses a pair of redundant pumps to transfer flavored syrups to the bottling line. Each pump has a À of 0.055 failures per year and ß of 0.05. What is the probability that both pumps will fail during a 45 day production run? a. 0.00004 b. 0.00034 c. 0.00038 d. 0.12
Under current economic circumstances, a stockbroker estimates that a client would invest in tax-free bonds (A) with a chance of 0.6 and in mutual funds (B) with a probability of 0.3. He has a 0.15 chance of investing in both tax-free and mutual funds. Determine the probability that the consumer will not invest in any of the two options at this moment.
Example 1 : Find the probability of drawing 2 red balls in succession from a bag containing 4 red and 5 black balls when the ball that is drawn first is (i) not replaced (ii) replaced.

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?
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?
