You are given the following system that consists of one controller and three peripherals (P1, P2, and P3): P1 P2 Controller P2 P3 P1 P3 By inspection, it turns out that this system is up if the controller and at least 2 of the peripherals are functioning. The controller fails with a probability of p and any peripheral fails with a probability of a. All events are independent. If p=1/3 and a=1/2, what is the probability that the system is up?

A system has six components connected as shown in the following diagram: A Assume A, B, C, D, E, and F function independently. If the probabilities that A, B, C, D, E, and F fail are 0.01, 0.05, 0.02, 0.08, 0.10, and 0.05 respectively, what is the probability that the system fails?
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?
A system has five components connected as shown in the diagram. Assume A, B, C, D, and E function independently. If the probabilities that A, B, C, D, and E function 0.50, 0.65, 0.75, 0.95, and 0.80 respectively, what is the probability that the system fails?
On Mr. Casper's debate team at Thunderbird High School, 20% of the members are Sophomores, 35% are Juniors and 45% are Seniors. A team member is selected randomly to give the closing argument for the team. If a sophomore gives the closing argument, the team has a probability of 0.25 of winning the debate. If a junior gives the closing argument, the probability of winning is 0.6. If a senior closes, the probability of winning is 0.85. (a) Find the probability that the team wins the debate. b sketch a tree diagram to model this process

After a workday, you visit a bar from monday to friday. The bar offers four differrent beer flavors. Each day you select one flavor with the following probabilities: flavor 1 with 30% flavor 2 with 25% flavor 3 with 40% flavor 4 with a 5% What is the probability that the first time you eat flavor 3 is on tuesday?
Suppose you’re playing Texas Hold ’Em Poker, and you are dealt a hand witha Jack of Clubs and a Queen of Hearts. The river of 5 cards hasn’t been dealtyet, and you’re hoping to get a straight (5 cards with consecutive ranks, such as10,J,Q,K,A or 8,9,10,J,Q). What is the probability that you will get a straightthat uses both the Jack and Queen in your hand? (This last part is to keep theproblem simple, since it’s possible to get a straight that uses neither card in your hand, suchas A,2,3,4,5, all in the river. Besides, in those cases, ALL players would have a straight, sothat’s not so good for you!)Guide: Our goal is to calculate:P(straight using both cards in hand) = # 5-card combinations that get us a straight with the J & Q# 5-card combinations overall .(a) We’ll start with the denominator, which can be done with a singleformula from class: How many 5-card combinations are possible for theriver? (Keep in mind what is in your hand. Note that how many opponents you haveand what…
