Explanation Given: An airplane completes its flight if at least 1 2 of its engines are working. If the probability that an engine fails is 1 100 and the failures of different engines are independent. Calculation: An airplane completes its flight if at least 1 2 of its engines are working. The probability that an engine fails is 1 100 which is independent. The probability of the event of a successful flight if the plane has two engines,

Q1. A group of five applicants for a pair of identical jobs consists of three men and two women. The employer is to select two of the five applicants for the jobs. Let S denote the set of all possible outcomes for the employer's selection. Let A denote the subset of outcomes corresponding to the selection of two men and B the subset corresponding to the selection of at least one woman. List the outcomes in A, B, AUB, AN B, and An B. (Denote the different men and women by M₁, M2, M3 and W₁, W2, respectively.)

For the following function, find the full power series centered at a of convergence. 0 and then give the first 5 nonzero terms of the power series and the open interval = f(2) Σ 8 1(x)--(-1)*(3)* n=0 ₤(x) = + + + ++... The open interval of convergence is: 1 1 3 f(x)= = 28 3x6 +1 (Give your answer in help (intervals) .)

Q3 (8 points) Q3. A survey classified a large number of adults according to whether they were diag- nosed as needing eyeglasses to correct their reading vision and whether they use eyeglasses when reading. The proportions falling into the four resulting categories are given in the following table: Use Eyeglasses for Reading Needs glasses Yes No Yes 0.44 0.14 No 0.02 0.40 If a single adult is selected from the large group, find the probabilities of the events defined below. The adult (a) needs glasses. (b) needs glasses but does not use them. (c) uses glasses whether the glasses are needed or not.
