Jacob, Billy, and Gerald independently take a test and the
probabilities that the pass the test are as follows:
Jacob: 1/5 ; Gerald:1/5 ; Billy: 1/5
Find the probability that all three pass
Sol)
Given
Jacob , billy and gerald independently take a test
Probability of passing the
Jacob = 1/5
Billy = 1/5
Gerald = 1/5
Probability that all three of them pass
= 1/5 * 1/5 * 1/5
= 1/125
= 0.008
= 0.8%

5. Seventy percent of all vehicles examined at a certain emissions inspection station pass the inspection. Assuming that successive vehicles pass or fail independently of one another, calculate the following probabilities: a. P(all of the next three vehicles inspected pass) b. P(at least one of the next three inspected fails) c. P(exactly one of the next three inspected passes) d. Pat most one of the next three vehicles inspected passes) e. Given that at least one of the next three...
In a large? city, 65 ?% of people pass the? drivers' road test. Suppose that every? day, 300 people independently take the test. In a large? city,65?% of people pass the? drivers' road test. Suppose that every? day, 300 people independently take the test. After a great many? days, according to the Empirical? Rule, on about? 95% of these? days, the number of people passing will be as low as? _____ and as high as? _____. (Hint: Find two standard...

Homework Example 6: John and Lisa are going to take the driver's license test. Based on their skills, the probability that John will pass the test is 0.7 and the probability that Lisa will pass is 0.8. Assuming that the test result of one of them has no effect on the result of the other... a) Are the events John will pass and Lisa will pass dependent or independent? b) What is the probability that both will pass? Example 7:...
Tim and Murphy take a test. The probability that Tim passes the test is 0.5 and probability Murphy passes is 0.5. Assume they take the test independent of each other. Then the probability that at least one of them pass the test is 0.75. true or false? if it is false please explain
You are allowed to take a certain test three times, and your final score will be the maximum of the test scores. Your score in test i, where i = 1, 2, 3, takes one of the values from i to 63 with equal probability 1/(64-i), independently of the scores in other tests. What is the probability that your final score is 46? What is the probability that your final score is 61? I need the exact numerical answer with...
Find the indicated probabilities using the geometric distribution, the Poisson distribution, or the binomial distribution. Then determine if the events are unusual. If convenient, use the appropriate probability table or technology to find the probabilities. A football player completes a pass 67.3% of the time. Find the probability that (a) the first pass he completes is the second pass, (b) the first pass he completes is the first or second pass, and (c) he does not complete his first two...
72% of all vehicles examined at a certain emissions inspection station pass the inspection. Assuming that successive vehicles pass or fail independently of one another, calculate the probability that exactly one of the next three vehicles fail.
A test consists of 10 true/false questions. To pass the test a student must answer at least 6 questions correctly. If a student guesses on each question, what is the probability that the student will pass the test? Round to three decimal places. A. 0.377 B. 0.828 C. 0.205 D. 0.172
