QUESTION SHEET 1 1. 1£20% of bolts chosen at random from a production line are found to be defective, determine the probabilities that out of four bolts chosen a Owill be defective. b. 1 will be defective. cat most 2 will be defective, 2. Eight machines are put on vibration test and it is known that under these conditions 80% of machines survive. Determine the probability that exactly 3 machines will survive. 'b. What proportion of the time will exactly 6 machines survive? a A fair coin is tossed with a probability of 4% of showing a head. Assuming that tosses are independent, how many times does the coin need to be tossed so that at the probability of getting at least one head is at least 99%? 4, Ona day’s production of 800 cars, it is known that 64 are defective. Ifa particular dealer chooses 50 cars at random, what is the probability that he will get 9 or more defective cars? 5. The mean number.of breakdowns due to failure ofa bearing in a large automatic printing machine is two per six months (Note p is small). Assuming the failures are random, calculate the probability distribution of the number of breakdowns Per six months per machine (Note n is not given). 6 The probability of a cosmic particle striking an apparatus in one second is 0.02. Determine the probability that none will strike in one minute. 7, The mean usage ofa particular spare part is one per month. Assuming that all machines using the part are independent and that failures occur at random, determine: the probability of using 3 spare parts in any month. b. the level of spares which must be carried at the beginning of each month so that the probability of running out of stock in any month is at most 1 in 100,10. a no Y-rays emitted in 6 milliseconds. b. at least one ¥-ray in 8 milliseconds c. 5 Y-rays emitted in 16 milliseconds On a particular airline route the number of minutes that an aeroplane is late, X, is a random variable with cumulative distribution function 10% x20 Ex) = 0 x<0 a Find the pdf of X. b. What is the probability that an aeroplane is more than 10 minutes late? The time to failure ofa component T is assumed to have a pdf ae’ t20 fr()= 0 t<0 a What itis the probability that the component fails between k and k + 1, where k is an integer? b. Ifthe mean time to failure of the component is 100 hours, what is the probability that any particular component will last 200 hours?
