As of April 2006, roughly 50 million .com web domain names were registered (e.g., yahoo.com).

a. How many domain names consisting of just two letters in sequence can be formed? How many domain names of length two are there if digits as well as letters are permitted as characters? (Note: A character length of three or more is now mandated.)

b. How many domain names are there consisting of three letters in sequence? How many of this length are there if either letters or digits are permitted? (Note: All are currently taken.)

c. Answer the questions posed in (b) for four-character sequences.

d. As of April 2006, 97,786 of the four-character se - quences using either letters or digits had not yet been claimed. If a four-character name is randomly selected, what is the probability that it is already owned?

a) \({\rm{676 and 1296}}\)

b) \({\rm{17576 and 46656}}\)

c) \({\rm{ 456976 and 1679616}}\)

d) \({\rm{P(\{ }}\) four-character name is already owned \({\rm{\} ) = 0}}{\rm{.942}}{\rm{.}}\)

Step by step solution

01

determining the domain names are there consisting of three letters in sequence

The total number of domain names with just two letters (r=2) and characters (n=26) in a sequence may be computed as follows: number of potential outcomes = nr = 262 = 676 a2)

02

Determining  the domain names of length two are there if digits as well as letters are permitted as characters 

Assume that we can select first element of an ordered pair in \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{1}}}\)ways, and that for each selected element we can select the second element in \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{2}}}\)ways, then we have the number of pairs to be \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{n}}_{\rm{2}}}\)

\({\rm{26*26 = 676}}\)

Domain names consisting of just two letters in sequence can be formed in ways, because \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = 26}}\)and \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 26}}\)

If we allow digits as well, we'll get \({\rm{26 + 10 = 36}}\)characters, indicating that we can make a two-character sequence.

\({\rm{36*36 = 1296}}\) ways.

03

determining the length of there if either letters or digits are permitted

Domain names that consist of three letters in sequence may be made in the same way that domain names consisting of three letters in sequence can be formed in the same way that domain names consisting of three letters in sequence can be formed in the same way that domain names

\({\rm{26*26*26 = 17576}}\)

In the same way as in (a), when we add numbers, we get 36 characters.

\({\rm{36*36*36 = 46656}}\)

in a variety of ways,

To be more specific, for \({\rm{k = 3}}\), we utilize the following:

For k-Tuples, there is a Product Rule.

If we assume that we may pick the first element of an ordered pair in \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{1}}}\)ways and the second element in \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{2}}}\) ways for each selected element, then the number of pairings is \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{n}}_{\rm{2}}}\)

Similarly, there are \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{n}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{* \ldots *}}{{\rm{n}}_{\rm{k}}}\) potential \({\rm{k}}\)-tuples given an ordered collection of \({\rm{k}}\) components, where the \({{\rm{k}}^{{\rm{th\;}}}}\) can be selected in \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{k}}}\) ways.

04

determining the four-character sequences.

Using the Product Rule for k-Tuplets, the number of ways to build a domain name with four letters in succession is \({\rm{k = }}\) \({\rm{4}}\)

\({\rm{26*26*26*26 = 456976}}\)

ways. In the same way, when we add digits, we get

\({\rm{36*36*36*36 = 1679616}}\)

05

determining the probability that it is already owned, If a four-character name is randomly selected

The likelihood of a four-character name being held is

\(\begin{aligned}{{\rm{P(\{ four - character name is already owned\} )}}}&{\mathop {\rm{ = }}\limits^{{\rm{(1)}}} {\rm{1 - P(\{ four - character name is available\} )}}}\\{}&{\mathop {\rm{ = }}\limits^{{\rm{(2)}}} {\rm{1 - }}\frac{{{\rm{97786}}}}{{{\rm{3}}{{\rm{6}}^{\rm{4}}}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.942}}}\end{aligned}\)

(1): For each event A, $ \({\rm{P(A) + P}}\left( {{\rm{A'}}} \right){\rm{ = 1}}\), and the complement of the event that the four-character name is already taken is the event that the four-character name is taken;

(2): In the exercise, the number of good outcomes is provided, 97786, and all potential outcomes are stated in (c)

\({\rm{P(A) = }}\frac{{{\rm{\# favorable outcomes inA}}}}{{{\rm{\# outcomes in the sample space}}}}\)

Suppose that vehicles taking a particular freeway exit can turn right (R), turn left (L), or go straight (S).Consider observing the direction for each of three successive vehicles.

a. List all outcomes in the event Athat all three vehicles go in the same direction.

b. List all outcomes in the event Bthat all three vehicles take different directions.

c. List all outcomes in the event Cthat exactly two of the three vehicles turn right.

d. List all outcomes in the event Dthat exactly two vehicles go in the same direction.

e. List outcomes in D鈥, C\( \cup \)D, and C\( \cap \)D.

Three components are connected to form a system as shown in the accompanying diagram. Because the components in the 2鈥3 subsystem are connected in parallel, that subsystem will function if at least one of the two individual components functions. For the entire system to function, component 1 must function and so must the 2鈥3 subsystem.

The experiment consists of determining the condition of each component (S(success) for a functioning componentand F (failure) for a non-functioning component).

a. Which outcomes are contained in the event Athat exactly two out of the three components function?

b. Which outcomes are contained in the event Bthat at least two of the components function?

c. Which outcomes are contained in the event Cthat the system functions?

d. List outcomes in C鈥, A \( \cup \)C, A \( \cap \)C, B \( \cup \)C, and B \( \cap \)C.

A quality control inspector is examining newly produced items for faults. The inspector searches an item for faults in a series of independent fixations, each of a fixed duration. Given that a flaw is actually present, let p denote the probability that the flaw is detected during any one fixation (this model is discussed in 鈥淗uman Performance in Sampling Inspection,鈥 Human Factors, \({\rm{1979: 99--105)}}{\rm{.}}\)

a. Assuming that an item has a flaw, what is the probability that it is detected by the end of the second fixation (once a flaw has been detected, the sequence of fixations terminates)?

b. Give an expression for the probability that a flaw will be detected by the end of the nth fixation.

c. If when a flaw has not been detected in three fixations, the item is passed, what is the probability that a flawed item will pass inspection?

d. Suppose \({\rm{10\% }}\) of all items contain a flaw (P(randomly chosen item is flawed) . \({\rm{1}}\)). With the assumption of part (c), what is the probability that a randomly chosen item will pass inspection (it will automatically pass if it is not flawed, but could also pass if it is flawed)?

e. Given that an item has passed inspection (no flaws in three fixations), what is the probability that it is actually flawed? Calculate for \({\rm{p = 5}}\).

In October, \({\rm{1994}}\), a flaw in a certain Pentium chip installed in computers was discovered that could result in a wrong answer when performing a division. The manufacturer initially claimed that the chance of any particular division being incorrect was only \({\rm{1}}\) in \({\rm{9}}\) billion, so that it would take thousands of years before a typical user encountered a mistake. However, statisticians are not typical users; some modern statistical techniques are so computationally intensive that a billion divisions over a short time period is not outside the realm of possibility. Assuming that the \({\rm{1}}\) in \({\rm{9}}\) billion figure is correct and that results of different divisions are independent of one another, what is the probability that at least one error occurs in one billion divisions with this chip?

The three most popular options on a certain type of newcar are a built-in GPS (A), a sunroof (B), and an automatictransmission (C). If 40% of all purchasers request A, 55% request B, 70% request C, 63% request Aor B,77% request Aor C, 80% request Bor C, and 85% request Aor Bor C, determine the probabilities of the following events. (Hint:鈥淎or B鈥 is the event that at leastone of the two options is requested; try drawing a Venn

diagram and labeling all regions.)

a. The next purchaser will request at least one of thethree options.

b. The next purchaser will select none of the three options.

c. The next purchaser will request only an automatictransmission and not either of the other two options.

d. The next purchaser will select exactly one of thesethree options.
