When a message that is communicated via public communication networks is received, it must be authenticated. This is done by using a secret enciphering key. Even though the key is secret, there is always the possibility that it will fall into the wrong hands, thus allowing an unauthentic message to appear to be authentic. Assume that 95% of all messages received are authentic. Furthermore, assume that only 0.1% of all unauthentic messages are sent using the correct key and that all authentic messages are sent using the correct key. Find the probability that a message is authentic given that the correct key is used.

Suppose the probability of erroneously transmitting a single digit is P=0.03. Compute the probability of transmitting a 4-bit code word with (a) at most one error, and (b) exactly four errors.
Suppose you have data on "timing of childbirth" for a sample of new mothers at University of lowa Hospitals and Clinics. For each woman, you record how many days before or after her "due date" she actually gave birth. For example, If she gave birth on ber due date, she is coded as a0 If she gave birth 1 week before her due date, sbe is coded as a-7 If she gave birth 3 days after her due date, she is coded as a +3 "Days before/after due date" are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 15 days. a. What percentage of births occurs between day 0 and 60 days after the due date? b. Explain what the Z score means in the context of this problem. What does it tell us? c. Your friend has a big presentation at work 2 weeks before her projected due date. She can't bring ber newbom to the presentation and is worried that the baby may be born early. Should your friend re-schedule the meeting? That is, would a birth 14 days bcfore the due date or sooner be "unusual"? Show…
In Spetember of 2013, Mario The Baker introduced a new chocolate cake and hired Doug and Jeremy to bake these cakes. Every customer buying this new chocolate cake either gives it a "thumbs up" or a "thumbs down". Based on the data accumulated between 10/2013 and 9/2014, we know that 40% of the cakes baked by Doug gets a "thumbs up", while only 10% of those baked by Jeremy gets a "thumbs up". About 70% of the cakes are baked by Doug. One cake was selected at random on 10/01/2014. Find the probability that the cake got a "thumbs up".
A student claims that he can correctly identify whether a person is a business major or an agriculture major by the way the person dresses. Suppose in actuality that if someone is a business major, he can correctly identify that person as a business major 87% of the time. When a person is an agriculture major, the student will incorrectly identify that person as a business major 16% of the time. Presented with one person and asked to identify the major of this person (who is either a business or an agriculture major), he considers this to be a hypothesis test with the null hypothesis being that the person is a business major and the alternative that the person is an agriculture major. What would be a Type I error? Saying that the person is a business major when in fact the person is an agriculture major. Saying that the person is an agriculture major when in fact the person is an agriculture major. Saying that the person is an agriculture major when in…
The average daily number of passengers in TErminal 3 of Logan airport is 10200, and 12% of them arrive to the terminal during 5-6am. Suppose now that 30% of these passengers are enrolled in TSA's Pre-check program. These passengers line up in a separate queue and go through separate security screening lanes called Pre-check lanes for faster security screening. Non-pRe-Check passengers go through a different queue and security screening lanes. A pre-check lane is always staffed with 4 TSA Officers and can process 250 passengers per hour with the coefficient of variation of the processing time 1 and the coefficient of variation of the inter-arrival time 1. 1) To ensure that the Pre-check queue is stable, what is the least-cost lane opening and staffing plan for the 5-6am period? (recall that it cost $30 per TSA per hour and $40 per hour to operate a lane.) 2) what is the Average waiting time of a passenger in the pre-check queue? 3) what is the average queue length?
Suppose there are a million cars made by a car company across the globe, where the probability that a car has a defective brake part is 0.0002. Based on the Monte Carlo algorithm, determine the minimum number of cars that needs to be tested so the probability of finding not even a defective car among those tested is less than two in a million. Use a calculator to simplify your answer and obtain the minimum number of cars.
When a company advertises on the Internet, the company pays the operators of search engines each time an ad for the company appears with search results and someone clicks on the link. Click fraud is when a computer program pretending to be a customer clicks on the link. An analysis of 1,200 clicks coming into a company's site during a week identified 180 of these clicks as fraudulent. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. B. All clicks into this company's site C. All companies that advertise on the Internet OD. All fraudulent clicks (b) Show the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of fraudulent clicks in a form suitable for sharing with a nontechnical audience. The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is [13% to 17%]. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) (c) If a company pays the operators of a search engine $4.25 for each click, give a 95% confidence interval for the mean cost per click due to fraud. The 95% confidence interval for the mean cost…
Assuming that no one has more than 1,000,000 hairs on the head of any person and that the population of New York City was 8,008,278 in 2010, show there had to be at least nine people in New York City in 2010 with the same number of hairs on their heads.

Researchers conducted a study to find out if there is a difference in the use of online-learning by different age groups. Randomly selected participants were divided into two age groups. In the 16 to 29-year-old group, 7% of the 628 surveyed use online-learning, while 11% of the 2,309 participants 30 years old and older use online learning. (Set 1 for 16-29 year old group; Set 2 for 30 years old and older). Find X2.
The permanent residence of adults aged 18-25 in the U.S. was examined in a survey from the year 2000. The survey revealed that 27% of these adults lived alone, 32% lived with a roommate(s), and 41% lived with their parents/guardians. In 2008, during an economic recession in the country, another such survey of 1600 people revealed that 398 lived alone, 488 lived with a roommate(s), and 714 lived with their parents. Is there a significant difference in where young adults lived in 2000 versus 2008 and state the p-value? Test with a Goodness of Fit test at α=0.05.
