Computer keyboard failures can be attributed to electrical defects or mechanical defects. A repair facility currently has \({\rm{25}}\) failed keyboards, \({\rm{6}}\) of which have electrical defects and 19 of which have mechanical defects.

a. How many ways are there to randomly select \({\rm{5}}\) of these keyboards for a thorough inspection (without regard to order)?

b. In how many ways can a sample of\({\rm{5}}\) keyboards be selected so that exactly two have an electrical defect?

c. If a sample of \({\rm{5}}\) keyboards is randomly selected, what is the probability that at least \({\rm{4}}\) of these will have a mechanical defect

Step by step solution

01

Determining the ways to randomly select \({\rm{5}}\)of these keyboards for a thorough inspection (without regard to order)?

An unordered subset is referred to as a combination. The number of combinations of size \({\rm{k}}\)for \({\rm{n}}\) persons in a group is indicated as \({{\rm{C}}_{{\rm{k,n}}}}\)

\(\left( {\begin{aligned}{\rm{n}}\\{\rm{k}}\end{aligned}} \right)\)

This we interpret as \({\rm{k}}\)items from \({\rm{n}}\)elements. The proposal is this:

\({{\rm{C}}_{{\rm{k,n}}}}{\rm{ = }}\left( {\begin{aligned}{\rm{n}}\\{\rm{k}}\end{aligned}} \right){\rm{ = }}\frac{{{{\rm{P}}_{{\rm{k,n}}}}}}{{{\rm{k!}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{n!}}}}{{{\rm{k!(n - k)!}}}}\)

Because we don't care about the order, we may utilize combinations.

\({{\rm{C}}_{{\rm{5,25}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{25!}}}}{{{\rm{5!(25 - 5)!}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{25!}}}}{{{\rm{5!20!}}}}{\rm{ = 53130}}\)

Out of 25, there are five ways to take five keyboards for a complete check.

02

Determining the ways of a sample of \({\rm{5}}\) keyboards be selected so that exactly two have an electrical defect

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 \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{n}}_{\rm{2}}}\)

We want to know how many options we have for the first element.

We can accomplish it since there are just two electric flaws out of a total of six.

For the first element, we want to know how many different ways we may choose two electric flaws from a total of six. That is something we can accomplish in

\({{\rm{C}}_{{\rm{2,6}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{6!}}}}{{{\rm{2!(6 - 2)!}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{6!}}}}{{{\rm{2!4!}}}}{\rm{ = 15}}\)

ways. And how many different ways can we extract \({\rm{3(5 - 2 = }}\)for the second element \({\rm{3}}\), we took 2) keyboards from the remaining \({\rm{19(25 - 6 = 19}}\)non-electric) keyboards. That is something we can accomplish in

\({{\rm{C}}_{{\rm{3,19}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{19!}}}}{{{\rm{3!(19 - 3)!}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{19!}}}}{{{\rm{3!16!}}}}{\rm{ = 969}}\)

ways. As a result, the final response is

\({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{*}}{{\rm{n}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 15*969 = 14535}}\)

03

Determining the probability that at least \({\rm{4}}\) of these will have a mechanical defect

The union of two events, \({{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}\)- "exactly \({\rm{4}}\) keyboards have a mechanical flaw" and \({{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}\)- "exactly \({\rm{5}}\) keyboards have a mechanical defect," is Event A - "at least \({\rm{4}}\) keyboards will have a mechanical defect." We use a formula to compute probability.

Therefore

\(\begin{aligned}P(A)&=P\left( {{A}_{1}}\grave{E}{{A}_{2}} \right)=P\left( {{A}_{1}} \right)+P\left( {{A}_{2}} \right)= \\&=\frac{\left( \begin{aligned}19 \\4 \\\end{aligned} \right)\left( \begin{aligned}6 \\1 \\\end{aligned} \right)}{\left( \begin{aligned}25 \\5 \\\end{aligned} \right)}+\frac{\left( \begin{aligned}19 \\5 \\\end{aligned} \right)\left( \begin{aligned}6 \\0 \\\end{aligned} \right)}{\left( \begin{aligned}25 \\5 \\\end{aligned} \right)} \\&=\frac{3876*6}{53130}+\frac{11628*1}{53130} \\&=0.438+0.219 \\&=0.657, \\\end{aligned}\)

(1): we leverage the fact that the events are discontinuous in this case;

(2): similarly to \({\rm{(b)}}\), we calculate the number of favorable outcomes in \({{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}\) and \({{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}\) and the number of outcomes in the sample space is given in \({\rm{(a)}}\)

An insurance company offers four different deductible levels鈥攏one, low, medium, and high鈥攆or its home owner鈥檚 policy holders and three different levels鈥攍ow, medium, and high鈥攆or its automobile policyholders. The accompanying table gives proportions for the various categories of policyholders who have both types of insurance. For example, the proportion of individuals with both low homeowner鈥檚 deductible and low auto deductible is .06(6% of all such individuals).

L .04 .06 .05 .03

M .07 .10 .20 .10

Suppose an individual having both types of policies is randomly selected.

a. What is the probability that the individual has a medium auto deductible and a high homeowner鈥檚 deductible?

b. What is the probability that the individual has a low auto deductible? A low homeowner鈥檚 deductible?

c. What is the probability that the individual is in the same category for both auto and homeowner鈥檚 deductibles?

d. Based on your answer in part (c), what is the probability that the two categories are different?

e. What is the probability that the individual has at least one low deductible level?

f. Using the answer in part (e), what is the probability that neither deductible level is low?

A friend who lives in Los Angeles makes frequent consulting trips to Washington, D.C.; \({\rm{50\% }}\)of the time she travels on airline\({\rm{\# 1}}\), \({\rm{30\% }}\) of the time on airline \({\rm{\# 2}}\), and the remaining \({\rm{20\% }}\) of the time on airline #3. For airline \({\rm{\# 1}}\), flights are late into D.C. \({\rm{30\% }}\) of the time and late into L.A. \({\rm{10\% }}\) of the time. For airline\({\rm{\# 3}}\), these percentages are \({\rm{25\% }}\) and \({\rm{20\% }}\), whereas for airline #3 the percentages are \({\rm{40\% }}\) and \({\rm{25\% }}\). If we learn that on a particular trip she arrived late at exactly one of the two destinations, what are the posterior probabilities of having flown on airlines \({\rm{\# 1}}\), \({\rm{\# 2}}\), and \({\rm{\# 3}}\)? Assume that the chance of a late arrival in L.A. is unaffected by what happens on the flight to D.C. (Hint: From the tip of each first-generation branch on a tree diagram, draw three second-generation branches labeled, respectively, \({\rm{2}}\) late, \({\rm{2}}\) late, and \({\rm{2}}\) late.)

A boiler has five identical relief valves. The probability that any particular valve will open on demand is .96. Assuming independent operation of the valves, calculate P(at least one valve opens) and P(at least one valve fails to open).

In any Ai independent of any other \({\rm{Aj}}\)? Answer using the multiplication property for independent events.

A starting lineup in basketball consists of two guards, two forwards, and a center.

a. A certain college team has on its roster three centers, four guards, four forwards, and one individual (X) who can play either guard or forward. How many different starting lineups can be created? (Hint: Consider lineups without X, then lineups with X as guard, then lineups with X as forward.)

b. Now suppose the roster has \({\rm{5}}\) guards, \({\rm{5}}\) forwards, \({\rm{3}}\)centers, and \({\rm{2}}\) 鈥渟wing players鈥 (X and Y) who can play either guard or forward. If 5 of the \({\rm{15}}\) players are randomly selected, what is the probability that they constitute a legitimate starting lineup?
