Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The values are, successively, 0, 0.2, 0.9, 1, 0.7, 0.3, 0.4, 0.

b. Events A and B are not independent, yet they are mutually exclusive.

c. Events B and C are not independent also they are not mutually exclusive.

Step by step solution

01

Required formula.

The formula is used P(A|B)=P(A∩B)P(B).

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)

02

Find P(A∩B),P(B∩C),P(A∪C),P(A∪B∪C),P(Bc),P(Ac∩B).

a.

Here,

P(1)=.3,P(2)=.2,P(3)=.1,P(4)=.1,P(5)=.1, and P6=.2.

P(A∩B)=P0=0

role="math" localid="1660215728600" P(B∩C)=P2=0.2

P(A∩C)=P1+2+P3+P5+P6=0.3+0.2+0.1+0.1+0.2=0.9

P(A∪B∪C)=P1+2+P3+P5+P6=0.3+0.2+0.1+0.1+0.2=1

P(Bc)=1-PB=1-P2+P4=1-0.2+0.1=0.7

P(Ac∩B)=P2+P4=0.2+0.1=0.3

P(B\C)=P2P2+P5+P6=0.20.2+0.1+0.2=0.4

PB\A=P0P1+P3+P5=00.3+0.1+0.1=0

Hence, the values are 0, 0.2, 0.9, 1, 0.7, 0.3, 0.4, 0 respectively.

03

Are A and B independent? Mutually exclusive

b.

No, the both events are not independent, and they are mutually exclusive, becausePA∩B=0

So, Events are independent but not mutually exclusive.

04

Are B and C independent? Mutually exclusive

c.

No, the both events are not independent, mutually exclusive, because

P(B∩C)=0.2andP(B∩C)≠P(B)⋅P(C)

Therefore, both events are not independent and mutually exclusive.

Encoding variability in software. At the 2012 Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA) Forum, Oregon State University software engineers presented a paper on modelling and implementing variation in computer software. The researchers employed the compositional choice calculus (CCC)—a formal language for representing, generating, and organizing variation in tree-structured artefacts. The CCC language was compared to two other coding languages—the annotative choice calculus (ACC) and the computational feature algebra (CFA). Their research revealed the following: Any type of expression (e.g., plain expressions, dimension declarations, or lambda abstractions) found in either ACC or CFA can be found in CCC; plain expressions exist in both ACC and CFA; dimension declarations exist in ACC, but not CFA; lambda abstractions exist in CFA, but not ACC. Based on this information, draw a Venn diagram illustrating the relationships among the three languages. (Hint: An expression represents a sample point in the Venn diagram.)

Performance-based logistics. Refer to the Journal of Business Logistics (Vol. 36, 2015) study of performance-based logistics (PBL) strategies, Exercise 1.15 (p. 49). Recall that the study was based on the opinions of a sample of 17 upper-level employees of the U.S. Department of Defense and its suppliers. The current position (e.g., vice president, manager), type of organization (commercial or government), and years of experience for each team member interviewed are listed below. Suppose we randomly select one of these interviewees for more in-depth questioning on PBL strategies.

a. What is the probability that the interviewee works for a government organization?

b. What is the probability that the interviewee has at least 20 years of experience?

Do social robots walk or roll?Refer to the International Conference on Social Robotics (Vol. 6414, 2010) study of the trend in the design of social robots, Exercises 3.10 (p. 168) and 3.37 (p. 181). Recall that in a random sample of 106 social robots, 63 were built with legs only, 20 with wheels only, 8 with both legs and wheels, and 15 with neither legs nor wheels. If a social robot is designed with wheels, what is the probability that the robot also has legs?

Characteristics of a new product. The long-run success of a business depends on its ability to market products with superior characteristics that maximize consumer satisfaction and that give the firm a competitive advantage (Kotler & Keller, Marketing Management, 2015). Ten new products have been developed by a food-products firm. Market research has indicated that the 10 products have the characteristics described by the following Venn diagram:

  1. Write the event that a product possesses all the desired characteristics as an intersection of the events defined in the Venn diagram. Which products are contained in this intersection?
  2. If one of the 10 products were selected at random to be marketed, what is the probability that it would possess all the desired characteristics?
  3. Write the event that the randomly selected product would give the firm a competitive advantage or would satisfy consumers as a union of the events defined in the Venn diagram. Find the probability of this union.
  4. Write the event that the randomly selected product would possess superior product characteristics and satisfy consumers. Find the probability of this intersection.
  5. Two of the 10 products will be selected for an ad campaign. How many different pairs of products are possible?

Using game simulation to teach a course. In Engineering Management Research (May 2012), a simulation game approach was proposed to teach concepts in a course on production. The proposed game simulation was for cola or television production. The products are two color television models, A and B. Each model comes in two colors, red and black. Also, the quantity ordered for each model can be 1, 2, or 3 televisions. The choice of model, color, and quantity is specified on a purchase order card.

a. Using a tree diagram, list how many different purchase order cards are possible. (These are the sample points for the experiment.)

b. Suppose, from past history, that black color TVs are in higher demand than red TVs. For planning purposes, should the engineer managing the production process assign equal probabilities to the simple events, part a? Why or why not?
