Boxes A,B,C, and D contain various combinations of the letters O and S. From each box, three letters are to be chosen randomly in succession without replacement. Which box yields the greatest probability of getting S first, then O, and finally S?
Homework Answers
First of all, this is a trick question.
Note that, The letters are chosen in succession from the boxes A B C D. Hence, the drawing starts from box-A without replacement. Since, no. of S's and O's in each box are not specified we assume them to be equal.Only thing which which determines the probabilities is the order of drawing.
Hence, Box-A has the largest Probability of getting S first, then O, and Finally S.

we have four boxes. box #1 contains 2000 components of which 100 are defective. Box #2 contains 500 components of which 200 are defective. boxes #3 and #4 each contain 1000 components with 100 of them being defective. a box is selected by ruling a fair four sided die and then a single item is randomly chosen from the box. a.What is the probability that the selected component is defective? b. if the selected item is defective, find the probability...

A toy manufacturer inspects boxes of toys before shipment. Each box contains 12 toys. The inspection procedure consists of randomly selecting three toys from the box. If one or more of the toys are defective, the box is not shipped. Suppose that a given box has two defective toys. What is the probability that it will be shipped? a) 0.4242 b) 0.4545 c) 0.0455 d) 0.5455 e) 0.1091
