After careful research you observe that the number of hackers active on each day is a random variable Bin(3,0.5) distribution. If no hackers are active, the probability of the website failure is 0.15; If one hacker is active the probability of the website failure is 0.3; if two or more hackers are active the probability of the website failure is 0.5. You conclude that the total probability of website failure on a given day is two decimal place). Assuming there is a failure, the probability no hackers are active is (to (to two decimal places).

A web server's visit always comes from five sites. The percentages of known visits from sites 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are 20%, 30%, 15%, 10% and 25% respectively. The probability of visits from five sites lasting more than 2 minutes is 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.2 and 0.9 respectively. Now randomly select a visit. What is the probability that the visit lasts more than 2 minutes? If the selected visit last more than 2 minutes, which sites does it most likely come from?

According to Mendel’s theory, if tall and colorful plants are crossed with short and colorless plants, the corresponding probabilities are 9/16, 3/16, 3/16, and 1/16 for tall and colorful, tall and colorless, short and colorful, and short and colorless, respectively. If 8 plants are selected, find the probability that 1 will be tall and colorful, 3 will be tall and colorless, 3 will be short and colorful, and 1 will be short and colorless.(4 decimal digits)
The accompanying data are from an article. Each of 309 people who purchased a Honda Civic was classified according to gender and whether the car purchased had a hybrid engine or not. Male Female Hybrid 76 33 Not Hybrid 116 84 Suppose one of these 309 individuals is to be selected at random. Determine if the probabilities P(hybrid male) and P(male hybrid) are equal. If not, explain the difference between these two probabilities. O Yes, the probabilities are equal. No, the probabilities are not equal. The first is the probability that a hybrid Honda Civic owner is male, and the second is the probability that a male Honda Civic owner purchased a hybrid. O No, the probabilities are not equal. The first is the probability that a male Honda Civic owner purchased a hybrid, and the second is the probability that a hybrid Honda Civic owner is male.
