- Assume that the probability that an airplane engine will fail during a torture test is 12and that the aircraft in question has 4 engines. Construct a sample space for the torture test. Use S for survive and F for fail.arrow_forwardA stockbroker believes that under present economic conditions, a customer will invest in tax-free bonds (A) with a probability of 0.6 and in mutual funds (B) with a probability of 0.3. The probability that he will invest in both tax free and mutual funds is 0.15. At this time, find the probability that the customer will invest in neither of the two investments. 0.20 0.25 0.35 0.10arrow_forwardyour task is to calculate the P(E) using Kolmogorov's Axioms for probability functions.arrow_forward
- The lung cancer hazard rate λ(t) of a t-year-old male smoker is such that λ(t) = 0.027 + 0.00025(t-40)2, and t >= 40. Assuming that a 40-year-old male smoker survives all other hazards, (a) what is the probability that he survives to age 50 without contracting lung cancer?(b) what is the probability that he survives to age 60 without contracting lung cancer?arrow_forwardgraduate believes she has a 60% chance of getting a particular job at an Ivy League school. Historically, 75% of the candidates who got a similar job had two interviews; 45% of the unsuccessful candidates had two interviews. Apply Bayes’ Theorem to calculate the probability that this candidate will be hired, assuming she had two interviewsarrow_forwardThe probability of event A, given that event B has occurred, can be found using Bayes’s Theorem. Use Bayes’s Theorem to find P(A | B) using the probabilities shown below P(A)=0.35, P(A’)=0.65, P(B | A)=0.1, and P(B | A’)=0.7 The probability of event A, given that event B has occurred, is (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed)arrow_forward
- In a simulation study on cyber attacks, the researcher is interested to investigate on whether the attack(s) are successfully performed. Let A define the event that an attacker has successfully performed the attack. If Pr(A) = 0.13, what is the probability Pr(A')?arrow_forwardAssume the reliability of each component succeed is given in Figure. What is the probability that the system would not work?arrow_forwardMason drives to school for his class on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. He prefers to park in Parking Lot A because it is next to his classroom building, but he is not always able to find a spot there. If it's sunny the probability that he finds a spot is 0.72 but if it's raining more people drive, so the probability that he finds a spot is only 0.44. Whether he finds a spot in Lot A is independent from one day to the next. (a) On a sunny day, what is the probability that Mason does not find a spot in Lot A? (b) In a week that is sunny on Monday and Friday and raining on Wednesday, what is the probability that Mason does not find a spot in Lot A on any of the three days? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) In a week that is sunny on Monday and Friday and raining on Wednesday, what is the probability that Mason finds a spot in Lot A on at least one of the three days? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)arrow_forward
