Two divisions are cooperating in the production of a communications Two divisions are cooperating in the production of a communications satellite. In order for the launch to be on time, both divisions must meet the deadline. You believe that each has an 83% chance of meeting the deadline. Assuming the two divisions work independently (so that you have independent events), what is the probability that the launch will have to be delayed due to a missed deadline?

You are running a race, where you will run from one end of a 100 meters long field to another. In between, there are two hurdles you need to jump. One hurdle is 20 meters from the starting end, and the other hurdle is 50 meters from the starting end. You can jump the first hurdle on any given try with probability 0.8. You can jump the second hurdle on any given try with probability 0.6. It takes you 1 second per meter of running. So if you succeeded in jumping both hurdles you would make it in 100 seconds. Any time you don’t successfully jump a hurdle you start over. What is the expected time it takes you to finish the race? (Hint: Condition on what happens in your first attempt at running the race)
In the current first-year class of a community college, all the students come from three local high schools. Schools I, II, and III supply respectively 30%, 40%, and 30% of the students. The failure rate of students is 4%, 3%, and 6%, respectively. Given that a student passes, what is the probability that he or she came from school I?
A manufacturing company produces two types of smartphones, A and B. 30% of the smartphones produced are type A, while 70% are type B. The defect rate for type A smartphones is 2%, while the defect rate for type B smartphones is 4%. If a customer receives a defective smartphone, what is the probability that it is of type A? Show your calculations and reasoning.
Three cowboys Doc Holiday, Wyatt Erp, and Wild Bill are locked in a 3-way duel. When the churchbell rings at high noon, all three will draw their guns and fire one shot simultaneously. A hit is registered if a shooter is hit by either of the other two cowboys. Doc Holiday will randomly aim and fire at either Wyatt Erp or Wild Bill, with an even split probability of 0.5 of who he'll shoot at. Being a good shot, he has a 60% chance of hitting the target he fires at. Wyatt Erp will randomly aim and fire at either Doc Holiday or Wild Bill, with an even split probability of 0.5 of who he'll shoot at. Also a good shot, he has a 60% chance of hitting the target he fires at. Wild Bill will randomly aim and fire at either Wyatt Erp or Doc Holiday, with an even split probability of 0.5 of who he'll shoot at. Being a poor shot, he only has a 30% chance of hitting the target he fires at. Let X denote the number of cowboys that are hit after all three take one shot at the same time. a) What are…
Suppose an oil company is thinking of buying some land for $10,000,000. There is a 60%60% chance of economic growth and a 40%40% chance of recession. The probability of discovering oil is 44%44% when there is economic growth and 32%32% when there is a recession. If there is economic growth and the oil company discovers oil, the value of the land will triple. If they do not discover oil, the value of the land will decrease by 10%.10%. If there is a recession and the company discovers oil, the value of the land will increase by 50%.50%. If they do not discover oil, the land will decrease in value by 75%.75%. What is the expected value of the investment? Give your answer to the nearest dollar. Avoid rounding within calculations. $$ Select the correct interpretation of the expected value. The expected value represents what the actual investment value will be for this land purchase of $10,000,000. The company should make the investment because the expected value…
Two machines turn out all the paper bags produced in the plant. Machine A produces 38% of the bags and machine B produces 62% of the bags. Machine A produces defective bags 1.9% of the time and machine B produces defective bags 3.8% of the time. Given a defective bag, what is the probability that it came from machine B?
Global Airlines operates two types of jet planes: jumbo and ordinary. Of Global's air fleet, 40% of its capacity is provided on jumbo jets. Global serves two types of customers, business and tourist. Business customers are 70% of Global customers, while tourists make up 30%. 15% of Global's customers fly on jumbo jets and are tourists. What is the probability that a customer is a tourist and flies on a regular jet?
At a museum cafe you can get a pre-made boxed lunch with a sandwich, fruit, and drink for only $3. • The sandwiches are made with either turkey or ham. • The fruit is either an apple or an orange. • The drink is either bottled water or juice. The number of boxes they make for every possible combination is the same. If you randomly choose one of the boxed lunches without knowing the contents, what is the probability you will get a turkey sandwich, an apple, and a bottle of water in your box? 1 4
An investment counselor calls with a hot stock tip. He believes that if the economy remains strong, the investment will result in a profit of $40,000. If the economy grows at a moderate pace, the investment will result in a profit of $20,000. However, if the economy goes into recession, the investment will result in a loss of $40,000. You contact an economist who believes there is a 20% probability the economy will remain strong, a 70% probability the economy will grow at a moderate pace, and a 10% probability the economy will slip into recession. What is the expected profit from this investment?
