An office has three copy machines.

Each copier is a different model and all three machines are quite
old. The probability of cach machine working on a randomly chosen workday is shown below. The
copy machines break down independently of each other.

Probability

Copier A 0.72

Copier B Copier C 0.92

0.88

a) What is the probability that all three copy machine are not working on a randomly selected
workday?

b) What is the probability that at least one copy machine is working on a randomly selected
workday?

c) What is the probability that copier A or Copier B is working?

d) What is the probability that copier C is working?

a) Seven males and five females are to be interviewed for a job as a community College instructor.
The top four candidates are sent forward to the president for a second interview. If all the
candidates are equally qualified, find the probability that four females get a second interview.

b) For 18-20 year olds, 27% believe in aliens and ghosts. Given that 35% of 18-20 years believe in
ghosts given they believe in aliens, what probability believes in aliens. (5)

Q3. a) Raghu is making cold sales calls. The probability of a sale on each call is 0.4. The calls may be
considered independent tri
What is the probability that he has exactly five failed calls before his second successful sales call?
a) Suppose that a game is to be played with a single die assumed fair. In this game a player wins $10
if a 1 turns up, $20 if a 3 turns up; loses $30 if a 5 turns up; while the player neither wins nor loses If
any other face turns up. Find the expected sum of money to be won. b) Two points are selected at
random in the interval Os x ≤1. Determine the probability that the sum of their squares is less than 1.

a) If the probability that an individual will suffer a bad reaction from injection of a given serum
is 0.002, determine the probability that out of 2500 individuals, (i) exactly 2, (ii) more than
3,individuals will suffer a bad reaction. (b)A certain type of electric light bulb has a mean
lifetime of 1500 hours and a standard deviation of 150 hours. Three bulbs are connected so
that when one burns out, another will go on. Assuming the lifetimes are normally
distributed, what is the probability that lighting will take place for (1) at least 5000 hours, (ii)
at most 4200 hours?

a) Derive the mean and variance of geometric distribution. (b) The joint density function of two
continuous random variables X and Y is f(x,y)= (cxy, if (0<x< 4,1 <y<5) & 0, otherwise) (1) Find the
value of the constant c. (ii) Find P(1 < X <2,2 <Y <3). Find P(X 23, Y ≥ 2).

a)A population consists of the four numbers 2, 3, 8, 11. Consider all possible samples of size two
which can be drawn with replacement from this population. Find (1) the mean of the population, (ii)
the standard deviation of the population, (iii) the mean of the sampling distribution of means, (iv)
the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of means, i.e., the standard error of means. (b) c
Find (1) 95%, (ii) 99% confidence limits for the mean diameter of all the ball bearings.

In measuring reaction time, a psychologist estimates that the standard deviation is 0.048 second.
How large a sample of measurements must he take in order to be (1) 95%, (1) 99% confident that
the error in his estimate of mean reaction time will not exceed 0.01 second? (b) The mean lifetime of
a sample of 100 fluorescent light bulbs produced by a company is computed to be 1870 hours with a
standard deviation of 120 hours. If u is the mean lifetime of all the bulbs produced by the company,
test the hypothesis μ-2000 hours against the alternative hypothesis u 2000 hours, using a level of
significance of (1) 0.05 and (ii) 0.01.
