You still have those two boxes. But now, more generally, units manufactured by A are defective with probability pa, while units manufactured by B are defective with probability pb. You select a box at random and test N units from it. Express: a) The probability that exactly k of the tested units are defective. b) Given that k of the tested units are defective, the probability that the box you are testing contains the units manufactured by A.

A device can fail in four different ways with probabilities T1= 0.5, T2 = 0.1, T3 = 0.1, and 14 = 0.3. Suppose there are 10 devices that fail independently of one another. What is the probability of 3 failures of the first kind, 2 of the second, 1 of the third, and 4 of the fourth?
Two people, A and B, are competing for the control of a corporation. The probabilities that these two people will win are 0.7 and 0.3, respectively. If A wins, the probability of introducing a new product is 0.8; if B wins, the corresponding probability is 0.4. a) What is the probability that a new product will be introduced? b) If a new product is introduced, what is the probability that B won the competition?
I need help with A, B, C. Three friends (A, B, and C) will participate in a round-robin tournament in which each one plays both of the others. Suppose that P(A beats B) = 0.2P(A beats C) = 0.4P(B beats C) = 0.7 and that the outcomes of the three matches are independent of one another. (a) What is the probability that A wins both her matches and that B beats C? and What is the probability that A wins both her matches? (b) What is the probability that A loses both her matches? (c) What is the probability that each person wins one match? (Hint: There are two different ways for this to happen.)
3. A retailer sells two brands of batteries that experience indicates are equal in demand. If he stocks two of each brand (which means he has 4 batteries in his store), what is the probability that a customer seeking to purchase two batteries, purchases the same brand? 1/3 2/3 01/2 1/4
. An electronic assembly consists of two subsystems A and B. The following probabilities are known. P(A fails) = 0.25, P( A and B fail) = 0.14 and P(B fails alone) = 0.15. Evaluate P (A fails alone) P (A fails given that B has failed) (Explain the solution using Venn diagram)
