An experiment can result in one of five equally likely simple events, E₁, E₂, A: E₂, E4 2' P(A) = = 0.4 B: E₁, E3, E4, E5 P(B) = 0.8 C: E₂, E3 Refer to the following probabilities. P(A n B) = 0.2 P(AIB) = 0.25 P(BIA) P(BU C) = 1 P(BIC) 0.5 P(CIB) 0.25 Use the Addition and Multiplication Rules to find the following probabilities. (a) P(AUB) (b) P(An B) = 0.5 P(A U B) = ---Select--- + ---Select--- ✓ P(A n B) = ---Select--- (c) P(B n C) Yes P(B n C) = ---Select--- No P(C) = 0.4 .

P(A U B) = P({E₁, E₂, E3, E4, E5}) = 1 P(A n B) = P({E₁}) = 0.2 P(B n C) = P({E3}) = 0.2 .., E5. Events A, B, and C are defined as follows.
The probability that a person in the United States has type B+ blood is 8%. Five unrelated people in the United States are selected at random. Complete parts (a) through (d). (a) Find the probability that all five have type B+ blood. The probability that all five have type B+ blood is nothing. (Round to six decimal places as needed.) (b) Find the probability that none of the five have type B+ blood. The probability that none of the five have type B+ blood is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) Find the probability that at least one of the five has type B+ blood. The probability that at least one of the five has type B+ blood is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (d) Which of the events can be considered unusual? Explain. Select all that apply. A. The event in part (a) is unusual because its probability is less than or equal to 0.05. B. The event in part (b) is unusual because its probability is…
A nuclear reactor becomes unstable if both safety mechanisms A and B fail. The probabilities of failure are P(A) =1/300 and P(B) = 1/200. Also, if A has failed, B is then more likely to fail: P(B/A)=1/100. a) What is the probability of the reactor going unstable? b) If B has failed, what is the probability of the reactor going unstable?
Based on long experience, an airline found that about 8% of the people making reservations on a flight from Miami to Denver do not show up for the flight. Suppose the airline overbooks this flight by selling 265 ticket reservations for an airplane with only 255 seats. (a) What is the probability that a person holding a reservation will show up for the flight? (b) Let n = 265 represent the number of ticket reservations. Let r represent the number of people with reservations who show up for the flight. What expression represents the probability that a seat will be available for everyone who shows up holding a reservation? Select one of the options: P(r ≤ 255) P(r ≥ 255) P(r ≤ 265) P(r ≥ 265) (c) Use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution and part (b) to answer the following question: What is the probability that a seat will be available for every person who shows up holding a reservation? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
