Two machines turn out all the products in a factory, with the first machine producing 25% of the product and the second 75%. The first machine produces defective products 4% of the time and the second machine 7% of the time. (a) What is the probability that a defective part is produced this factory given that it was made on the first machine? (b) What is the probability that a defective part is produced at this factory?

Joon wants to determine whether his San Jose oil field will yield oil. He has hired a geologist to run tests on the field. If there is oil in the field, there is a 95% chance that the test will indicate oil. If the field contains no oil, there is a 5% chance that the test will indicate oil. If the test indicates that there is no oil in the field, what is the probability that the field contains oil? Before the test, Joon believes that there is a 10% chance that the field will yield oil.

A large stockpile of used pumps contains 20% that need repair. A repairman is sent to the stockpile of pumps with 3 repair kits. He selects pumps at random and tests them to determine if they need repair. If the pump works corretly, he goes on to the next pump. If the pump does not work, he repairs it with one of his repair kits. (a) Determine the probability that he uses his last repair kit after testing the 7th pump. (b) It takes 10 minutes to test a working pump and 30 minutes to test and repair a pump that is not working, find the expected amount of time that the repairman will need before he uses all 3 repair kits.
