There are three power plants [X, Y, Z] that at any given time each one either generates electricity or idles. Event A is that plant X is always idling.Event B is that at least two plants generate electricity. Likelihood of the outcomes that Plant X always produce electricity is 44%. If P(AUB)' =3%,and the likelihood of the outcomes in event. are equally likely, compute the probability of the event B? Solution:P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) – P(AB)XYZ000010001011XYZ100101110111

A store specializing in mountain bikes is to open in one of two malls. If the first mall is selected, the store anticipates a yearly profit of $1,425,000 if successful and a yearly loss of $475,000 otherwise. The probability of success is 1. If the second mall is selected, it is estimated that the yearly profit will be $950,000 if successful; 3 otherwise, the annual loss will be $285,000. The probability of success at the second mall is Complete parts (a) through (c) below 4 - a. What is the expected profit for the first mall?
Suppose an experiment has five equally likely outcomes: E1, E2, E3, E4, E5. Assign probabilities to each outcome and show that the requirements in equations (4.3) and (4.4) are satisfied. What method did you use?
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.
Sarah and Thomas are going bowling. The probability that Sarah scores more than 175 is 0.5 , and the probability that Thomas scores more than 175 is 0.1 . Their scores are independent. Round your answers to four decimal places, if necessary. (a) Find the probability that both score more than 175 . (b) Given that Thomas scores more than 175 , the probability that Sarah scores higher than Thomas is 0.4 . Find the probability that Thomas scores more than 175 and Sarah scores higher than Thomas.
The route used by a certain motorist in commuting to work contains two intersections with traffic signals. The probability that he must stop at the first signal is 0.45, the analogous probability for the second signal is 0.5, and the probability that he must stop at at least one of the two signals is 0.9. (a) What is the probability that he must stop at both signals? X (b) What is the probability that he must stop at the first signal but not at the second one? X (c) What is the probability that he must stop at exactly one signal?
You are allowed to take a certain test three times, and your final score will be the maximum of the test scores. Your score in test k, where k = 1, 2, 3, takes one of the values from k to 10 with equal probability 1/(11 − k), independently of the scores in other tests. What is the PMF of the final score?
Suppose a and b be two possible values of a random variable X with a > b. The probability that X lies between a and b is P(a > X > b) = F (a) - F (b) Select one: O True O False
The complement of an event is all possible outcomes not in the event. For example: If A = at least 3 girls are born to a family with 6 kids. Then A' = A compliment is what happens if there are not at least 3 girls = less than 3 girls born to the family. A useful formula: P(A) + P(A' ) = 1 or P(A') = 1 - P(A). If P(A) = 0.194, what is P(A')?

(b) Test two independent circuits one after the other. On each test, the possible outcome is either overvoltage (0) or undervoltage (U). Assume that all circuits are overvoltage with probability 0.4. Let X be the number of overvoltage circuit in the first test and Y be the number of overvoltage circuit before you observed undervoltage. If both circuit is overvoltage or undervoltage, Y = 2. Find the joint PMF of X and Y.
