REVIEW FOR MIDTERM EXAM

1. There are two product boxes. Box I has 8 good products and 3 bad products, Box II has
6 good products and 5 bad products. A product is randomly selected from box I and placed
in box II, then one product is drawn at random from box II. Consider the probability that
the product removed from box II is good.
2. A graduate statistics course has seven male and three female students. The professor
wants to select two students at random to help her conduct a research project. What is the
probability that the two students chosen are female?
3. A worker stands 2 machines, knowing that the machines operate independently of each
other, the probability that during T time machine 1, 2 will not fail is 0,7 and 0,8. Find the
probability that all three machines fail in the above time.
4. Two gunners, each shoot a bullet at a target. The probability of the target being hit by
the first person's bullet is 0,5 and the second person's is 0,8. Find the probability that at
least one bullet hits the target.
