There are 32 students in your tutorial group but the university has timetabled the class in a room with 30 seats on the basis that not all students will turn up. If each student misses the class with probability 0.19, independently of all other students, find the probability that there are not enough seats on a particular day. You may assume that the hard-working tutor does not need to sit down! [Enter the answer correct to two decimal places.]

From experience, an airline knows that only 70% of the passengers booked for a certain flight actually show up. If 8passengers are randomly selected, find the probability that fewer than 6 of them 6 show up.Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places, and round your answer to two decimal places.
A medical test is available to determine whether a patient has a certain disease. To determine the accuracy of the test, a total of 9700 people are tested. Only 100 of these people have the disease, while the other 9600 are disease free. Of the disease-free people, 9300 get a negative result, and 300 get a positive result. The 100 people with the disease all get positive results. Round your answers to four decimal places, if necessary. Find the probability that the test gives the correct result for a person who has the disease.
A researcher is selecting lab rats for her experiment. She assigns each rat a number and picks numbers out of a hat while blindfolded. The pool of rats from which she is drawing participants is composed of the following: 23 male albino rats 21 male spotted rats 35 female albino rats 11 female spotted rats If she reaches into the hat once, what is the probability of choosing a female rat or an albino rat? Give your answer as a decimal rounded to 4 decimal places.
A building contractor buys 70% of his cement from supplier A and 30% from supplier B. A total of 70% of the bags from A arrive undamaged, while 90% of the bags from B arrive undamaged. Find the probability that an undamaged bag is from supplier B. The probability is nothing. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to four decimal places as needed.)
Every cereal box has a gift inside but you cannot tell from the outside what the gift is. The store manager assures you that 20 of the 57 boxes on the shelf have the secret decoder ring. The other 37 boxes on the shelf have a different gift inside. If you randomly select two boxes of cereal from the shelf to purchase, what is the probability that BOTH of them have the secret decoder ring? (Give answer as a decimal correct to four decimal places.)
An hat contains 169 slips of paper. 27 of these are Blue; the rest are Pink. Two slips are selected at random from the hat. If the selection is made with replacement (the first slip is put back into the hat before drawing the second slip), the probability that both slips are Blue is
Jack has just been given a ten-question multiple choice quiz in history class. Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct. Since Jack has not attended class recently, he does not know any of the answers. Assuming Jack guesses randomly on all ten questions, find the probability that he will answer six or more of the questions correctly and avoid an F.
Show all your work and explain each step. A laboratory blood test is 0.95 effective in detecting Corona virus, when it is, in fact, present. However, the test also yields a "false positive" result for 1 percent of the healthy persons tested. (That is, if a healthy person is tested, then, with probability 0.01, the result will imply s/he has the Corona virus.) If 0.5 percent of the population in King County has the virus, what is the probability a person has the virus given that his or her test result is positive?
Suppose you just received a shipment of seven televisions. Three of the televisions are defective. If two televisions are randomly selected, compute the probability that both televisions work. What is the probability at least one of the two televisions does not work? The probability that both televisions work is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) The probability that at least one of the two televisions does not work is. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) D
