In a manufacturing process, lots having 10%, 12%, 14% or 16 defectives are produced according to the respective probabilities 0.2, 0.35, 0.15 and 0.3. Three customers have contracts to receive lots from the manufacturer. The contracts specify that the percentages of defectives in lots shipped to customers A, B and C should not exceed 10, 12 and 14, respectively. If a lot has a higher percentage of defectives that stipulated, a penalty of $ 200 per percentage point is incurred. On the other hand, supplying better quality than required costs the manufacturer $150 per percentage point. If the lots are not inspected prior to shipment, which customer should have the highest priority for receiving the order?
7. PAGASA is planning to place at five rain gauge in different locations within Metro Manila. The rain gauge in different location R1, R2, R3, R4 and Rs will operate 0.45, 0.30, 0.20, 0.25 and 0.30, respectively, at a time. If rain pours in those locations has probabilities of 0.2, 0.1, 0.3, 0.2, and 0.2, respectively, what is the probability that it will operate and measure rain water?

On Mr. Casper's debate team at Thunderbird High School, 20% of the members are Sophomores, 35% are Juniors and 45% are Seniors. A team member is selected randomly to give the closing argument for the team. If a sophomore gives the closing argument, the team has a probability of 0.25 of winning the debate. If a junior gives the closing argument, the probability of winning is 0.6. If a senior closes, the probability of winning is 0.85. (a) Find the probability that the team wins the debate. b sketch a tree diagram to model this process
Consider purchasing a system of audio components consisting of a receiver, a pair of speakers, and a CD player. Let A₁ be the event that the receiver functions properly throughout the warranty period, A₂ be the event that the speakers function properly throughout the warranty period, and A3 be the event that the CD player functions properly throughout the warranty period. Suppose that these events are (mutually) independent with P(A₁) = 0.92, P(A₂) = 0.96, and P(A3) = 0.90. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) What is the probability that all three components function properly throughout the warranty period? (b) What is the probability that at least one component needs service during the warranty period? (c) What is the probability that all three components need service during the warranty period? (d) What is the probability that only the receiver needs service during the warranty period? (e) What is the probability that exactly one of the three components needs service…

ABC Airlines' first class cabins have 10 seats in each plane. ABC's overbooking policy is to sell up to 11 first class tickets, since cancellations and no-shows are always possible (and indeed are quite likely). For a given flight on ABC Airlines, there were 11 first class tickets sold. Suppose that each of the 11 persons who purchased tickets has a 20% chance of not showing up for the flight, and that the events that different persons show up for the flight are independent. (Please assume that there is no refund if the customer does not show up for the flight) (a) What is the probability that at most 5 of the 11 persons who purchased first class tickets show up for the flight? (b) What is the probability that exactly 10 of the 11 persons who purchased first class tickets show up for the flight? (c) Suppose that the cost of each first class ticket is $12,000. (Let's assume that this $12,000 contributes entirely to profit since the variable cost associated with a passenger on a flight…
