Step by step solution

01

Definition of Outcomes

An outcome is a possible result of an experiment or trial in probability theory. Each conceivable experiment outcome is distinct, and alternative outcomes are mutually exclusive. A sample space is made up of all of the possible results of an experiment.

02

Given Data which is given in exercise \(26\).

From the exercise\(26\), the following events can be taken, \({A_i}\)- "system has the defect of type \(i\)",\(i = 1,2,3\), and the following probabilities will be

\(\begin{array}{l}P\left( {{A_1}} \right) &=& 0.12,\;\;\;P\left( {{A_2}} \right) &=& 0.07,\;\;\;P\left( {{A_3}} \right) &=& 0.05\\P\left( {{A_1} \cup {A_2}} \right) &=& 0.13,\;\;\;P\left( {{A_1} \cup {A_3}} \right) &=& 0.14\\P\left( {{A_2} \cup {A_3}} \right) &=&0.1,\;\;\;P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2} \cap {A_3}} \right) &=& 0.01\end{array}\)

03

Calculation for the determination of the probability in part (a)

It is given that the system is having a type \(1\) defect (event\({A_1}\)), the probability that it has a type \(2\) defect (event\({A_2}\)) is calculated using:

The conditional probability of A given that the event B has occurred, for which \(P(B) > 0\), is

\(P(A\mid B) = \frac{{P(A \cap B)}}{{P(B)}}\)

for any two events A and B.

Therefore,

\(P\left( {{A_2}\mid {A_1}} \right) = \frac{{P\left( {{A_2} \cap {A_1}} \right)}}{{P\left( {{A_1}} \right.}}\mathop = \limits^{(1)} \frac{{0.06}}{{0.12}} = 0.5\)

(1): the \(P\left( {{A_2} \cap {A_1}} \right)\)is

\(\begin{array}{c}P\left( {{A_2} \cap {A_1}} \right) &=& P\left( {{A_1}} \right) + P\left( {{A_2}} \right) - P\left( {{A_1} \cup {A_2}} \right)\\ &=& 0.12 + 0.07 - 0.13\\ &=& 0.06\end{array}\)

For every two events A and B

\(P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)\)

04

Calculation for the determination of the probability in part (b)

It is given that the system is having a type \(1\) defect, the probability that it has all three types of defects is the conditional probability of the intersection of \({A_1},{A_2}\), and \({A_3}\)given that the event \({A_1}\)has occurred

\(\begin{array}{c}P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2} \cap {A_3}\mid {A_3}} \right) &=& \frac{{P\left( {\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2} \cap {A_3}} \right) \cap {A_3}} \right)}}{{P\left( {{A_3}} \right)}}\\ &=& \frac{{P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2} \cap {A_3}} \right)}}{{P\left( {{A_3}} \right)}}\\ &=& \frac{{0.01}}{{0.12}}\\ = 0.0833\end{array}\)

where the probabilities we needed are given in exercise \(26\).

05

Calculation for the determination of the probability in part (c)

It is given that the system is having at least one type of defect, denoted as A, the probability that it has exactly one type of defect, denoted as B, is

\(P(B\mid A) = \frac{{P(B \cap A)}}{{P(A)}}\)

We have the \(P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2}} \right)\)is

\(P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2}} \right) = P\left( {{A_1}} \right) + P\left( {{A_2}} \right) - P\left( {{A_1} \cup {A_2}} \right) = 0.12 + 0.07 - 0.13 = 0.06\)

also \(P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_3}} \right)\)is

\(P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_3}} \right) = P\left( {{A_1}} \right) + P\left( {{A_3}} \right) - P\left( {{A_1} \cup {A_3}} \right) = 0.12 + 0.05 - 0.14 = 0.03\)

and \(P\left( {{A_2} \cap {A_3}} \right)\)is

\(P\left( {{A_2} \cap {A_3}} \right) = P\left( {{A_2}} \right) + P\left( {{A_3}} \right) - P\left( {{A_2} \cup {A_3}} \right) = 0.07 + 0.05 - 0.1 = 0.02.\)

06

Further Calculation for the determination of the probability in part (c)

The probability that system has at least one type of defect is the union the three given events

\(\begin{array}{l}P\left( {{A_1} \cup {A_2} \cup {A_3}} \right)\mathop = \limits^{(1)} P\left( {{A_1}} \right) + P\left( {{A_2}} \right) + P\left( {{A_3}} \right) - P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2}} \right) - P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_3}} \right) - P\left( {{A_2} \cap {A_3}} \right) + P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2} \cap {A_3}} \right)\\\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; = 0.12 + 0.07 + 0.05 - 0.06 - 0.03 - 0.02 + 0.01\\\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; = 0.14\end{array}\)

(1): here we used proposition:

For every three events A, B and C the following is true

Notice that intersection of events A and B is only B, because "exactly one" is contained in "at least one"\((B \subset A)\). Therefore, now we need only to find \(P(B)\). Event \({\rm{B}}\)is union of three disjoint event -\({A_1} \cap A_2^\prime \cap A_3^\prime ,A_1^\prime \cap {A_2} \cap A_3^\prime ,and\;A_1^\prime \cap A_2^\prime \cap {A_3}\), where they mean, respectively, only $A_{1}$ occurred and not \({A_2},{A_3}\), only \({A_2}\)occurred and not \({A_1},{A_3}\), only \({A_3}\)occurred and not \({A_1},{A_2}\)(which actually means exactly one type of defect occurred).

07

Further calculations for the determination of the probability in part (c)

Therefore

\(\begin{array}{c}P(B) = P\left( {\left( {{A_1} \cap A_2^\prime \cap A_3^\prime } \right) \cup \left( {A_1^\prime \cap {A_2} \cap A_3^\prime } \right) \cup \left( {A_1^\prime \cap A_2^\prime \cap {A_3}} \right)} \right)\\\mathop = \limits^{(1)} P\left( {{A_1} \cap A_2^\prime \cap A_3^\prime } \right) + P\left( {A_1^\prime \cap {A_2} \cap A_3^\prime } \right) + P\left( {A_1^\prime \cap A_2^\prime \cap {A_3}} \right)\end{array}\)

(1): here we used the fact that they are disjoint.

We will calculate each intersection separately.

First:

\(\begin{array}{l}P\left( {{A_1} \cap A_2^\prime \cap A_3^\prime } \right)\mathop = \limits^{(1)} P\left( {{A_1}} \right) - P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2}} \right) - P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_3}} \right) + P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2} \cap {A_3}} \right)\\\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; = 0.12 - 0.06 - 0.03 + 0.01\\\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; = 0.04\end{array}\)

Second:

\(\begin{array}{l}P\left( {A_1^\prime \cap {A_2} \cap A_3^\prime } \right)\mathop = \limits^{(1)} P\left( {{A_2}} \right) - P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2}} \right) - P\left( {{A_2} \cap {A_3}} \right) + P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2} \cap {A_3}} \right)\\\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; = 0.07 - 0.06 - 0.02 + 0.01\\\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; = 0\end{array}\)

Third:

\(\begin{array}{l}P\left( {A_1^\prime \cap A_2^\prime \cap {A_3}} \right)\mathop = \limits^{(1)} P\left( {{A_3}} \right) - P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_3}} \right) - P\left( {{A_2} \cap {A_3}} \right) + P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2} \cap {A_3}} \right)\\\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; = 0.05 - 0.03 - 0.02 + 0.01\\\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; = 0.01\end{array}\)

08

Further calculations for the determination of the probability in part (c)

So, the probability of event B is

\(P(B) = 0.04 + 0 + 0.01 = 0.05\)

Finally, the probability of \(P(B\mid A)\)is

\(P(B\mid A) = \frac{{P(B \cap A)}}{{P(A)}} = \frac{{P(B)}}{{P(A)}} = \frac{{0.05}}{{0.14}} = 0.3571\)

09

Calculations for the determination of the probability in part (d)

Given that the system has both of the first two types of defects, the probability that it does not have the third type of defect is conditional probability of \(A_3^\prime \)given that the event \({A_1} \cap {A_2}\)has occurred

\(\begin{array}{c}P\left( {A_3^\prime \mid {A_1} \cap {A_2}} \right) = \frac{{P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2} \cap A_3^\prime } \right)}}{{P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2}} \right)}}\mathop = \limits^{(1)} \frac{{P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2}} \right) - P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2} \cap {A_3}} \right)}}{{P\left( {{A_1} \cap {A_2}} \right)}}\\\mathop = \limits^{(2)} \frac{{0.06 - 0.01}}{{0.06}}\\ = 0.833,\end{array}\)

Suppose identical tags are placed on both the left ear and the right ear of a fox. The fox is then let loose for a period of time. Consider the two events \({{\rm{C}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = }}\){left ear tag is lost} and \({{\rm{C}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = }}\){right ear tag is lost}. Let 颅 \({\rm{\pi = P(}}{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{) = P(}}{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{)}}\),and assume \({{\rm{C}}_{\rm{1}}}\)and \({{\rm{C}}_{\rm{2}}}\) are independent events. Derive an expression (involving p) for the probability that exactly one tag is lost, given that at most one is lost (鈥淓ar Tag Loss in Red Foxes,鈥 J. Wildlife Mgmt., \({\rm{1976: 164--167)}}{\rm{.}}\) (Hint: Draw a tree diagram in which the two initial branches refer to whether the left ear tag was lost.)

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 \({\rm{p = 5}}\).

Consider independently rolling two fair dice, one red and the other green. Let A be the event that the red die shows \({\rm{3}}\) dots, B be the event that the green die shows \({\rm{4}}\) dots, and C be the event that the total number of dots showing on the two dice is \({\rm{7}}\). Are these events pairwise independent (i.e., are \({\rm{A}}\) and \({\rm{B}}\) independent events, are \({\rm{A}}\) and \({\rm{C}}\) independent, and are \({\rm{B}}\) and \({\rm{C}}\) independent)? Are the three events mutually independent?

An experimenter is studying the effects of temperature, pressure, and type of catalyst on yield from a certain chemical reaction. Three different temperatures, four different pressures, and five different catalysts are under consideration.

a. If any particular experimental run involves the use of a single temperature, pressure, and catalyst, how many experimental runs are possible?

b. How many experimental runs are there that involve use of the lowest temperature and two lowest pressures?

c. Suppose that five different experimental runs are to be made on the first day of experimentation. If the five are randomly selected from among all the possibilities, so that any group of five has the same probability of selection, what is the probability that a different catalyst is used on each run?

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?
