The sample space for an experiment contains five sample points. The probabilities of the sample points are: P(1) = P(2) = 0.15 P(3) = P(4) = 0.2 P(5) = 0.3 Find the probability of each of the following events: A : { Either 2 or 3 occurs } B : { Either 2, 1, or 5 occurs } C : { 4 does not occur } P(A) =______ P(B) =______ P(C) =______

An urn contains 3 red, 2 blue, and 5 green marbles. If we pick 4 marbles with replacement and count the number of red marbles in the 4 picks, the probabilities associated with this experiment are P(0) = 0.24, P(1) = 0.41, P(2) = 0.265, P(3) = 0.p76, and P(4) = 0.009. The probability of at most %3D %3D %3D %3D 1 red marble is: a. 0.24. b. 0.76. O c. 0.65 d. 0.41.
A factory uses a specific machine to produce pieces. From previous data, we know that 97% of the time the machine is set up correctly. If this is the case, it produces 95% acceptable (non-defective) pieces. However, if it is not set up correctly, it produces only 40% of acceptable pieces. Q24 If you were to randomly draw 360 machines from this factory. What is the probability that less than 96% of these machines were set up correctly? Your answer should be in % and have two digits after the period. So, if your answer is 50.023%, enter 50.02. Your Answer:

Every year, the veterinary hospital at a major research university treats a number of horses that have stones called enteroliths in their guts. A sample of 20 years shows that on average about 2% of horses presenting at the veterinary hospital are treated for enteroliths. Some breeds of horses seem more prone to developing enteroliths than others. Below is a table with the distribution of enteroliths among the breeds. Breed Fijian Thoroughbred Morgan Quarter horse Probability 0.4 0.2 0.3 The probability that a horse arriving at the veterinary hospital is not a Fijian,Thorougbred, or a Quarter horse is:
What happens to trees over a five-year period? A study lasting more than 30 years found these probabilities for a randomly chosen 12-inch-diameter tree in the Ozark Highlands of Missouri: stay in the 12-inch class, 0.686; move to the 14-inch class, 0.256. The remaining trees die during the five-year period. What is the probability that a tree dies?
