Assuming independence, what is the probability on a particular day that the following will occur?
(a) All four machines will break down (Round your answer to ten
decimal places.)
(b) None of the machines will break down (Round your answer to
three decimal places.)

There are four washing machines in an apartment complex: A, B, C, D. On any given day the probability that these machines break down is as follows: P(A) = 0.04, P(B) = 0.01, P(C) = 0.06, P(D) = 0.01 . Assume that the functionality of each machine is independent of that of others. What is the probability that on a given day at least one machine will be working?
A machine has four components, A, B, C, and D, set up in such a manner that all four parts must work for the machine to work properly. Assume the probability of one part working does not depend on the functionality of any of the other parts. Also assume that the probabilities of the individual parts working are P(A) = P(B) = 0.98, P(C) = 0.97, and P(D) = 0.9. Find the probability that at least one of the four...
24. A patient receiving a medical vaccination has a 93.5% probability of not experiencing side effects. Suppose that this vaccination is given to ten random patients. a. What is the probability that none of the ten patients will experience side effects? Round your answer to four decimal places. Probability = ??? b. What is the probability that at least one the ten patients will experience side effects? Round your answer to four decimal places. Probability = ??? c. Suppose that...
The Acme Machine Shop has five machines that periodically break down and require service. The average time between breakdowns for any one machine is 4 days, distributed according to an exponential distribution. The average time to repair a machine is 1 day, distributed according to an exponential distribution. One mechanic repairs the machines in the order in which they break down. Use q.xls. a. Determine the probability that the mechanic is idle. (Hint: Pn is given in q.xls, and is...
A factory manufactures machines. Each machine is defective with probability 1/100, independently. The machines get numbered 1, 2, . . . as they’re produced (a) Out of machines 1, . . . , 1000, what is the probability that none are defective? (b) Out of machines 1, . . . , 1000, what is the probability that two or fewer are defective? (c) Out of machines 1, . . . , 1000, what is the probability that exactly ten are...
A warehouse contains ten printing machines, four of which are defective. A company selects four of the machines at random, thinking all are in working condition. What is the probability that all four machines are nondefective? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
C1: Snow Manufacturing Co. has 6 machines that perform a particular task. Breakdowns occur frequently for this machine. Past records indicate that the number of breakdowns that occur each day is described by the following probability distribution: SK2: 5 marks Number of Probability Breakdowns 0.2 0.3 0.4 More than 3 0.0 Required: 1. What is the expected number of breakdowns in any given day? (2 marks) 2. What is the variance for this distribution? (1 mark) 3. What is the...
Suppose you have four cars, A, B, C, D, respectively. On a given day, the probability that your car will not work properly is P(A)=.04, P(B)=.01, P(C)= .06, P(D)=.01. If whether or not the car functions is independent of one another, what is the probability that on that given day at least one car is working properly? Show all work.
Assume that on a standardized test of 100 questions, a person has a probability of 80% of answering any particular question correctly. Find the probability of answering between 70 and 80 questions, inclusive. (Assume independence, and round your answer to four decimal places.) P(70 ? X ? 80) =
A binomial probability experiment is conducted with the given parameters. Compute the probability of successes in the n independent trials of the experiment. n=60, p=0.97, x = 58 P(58) (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to four decimal places as needed.)
