1 The electrical system consists of four components as shown in the below
figure. The system works if components A and B work and either of the
components C or D works. The reliability (probability of working) of each
component is also shown in the figure. Find the probability that
(a) the entire system works
(b) the component C does not work given that the entire system
works.
Assume that the four components work independently. L2, L3 CO1
2 A manufacturing firm employs three analytical plans for the design and
development of a particular product. For the cost reasons all the three are
used at varying times. In fact plans 1, 2 and 3 are used 30%, 20% and 50% L2, L3 CO1
of the products, respectively. Given the plans 1, 2 and 3 their defects of
probability are 0.01, 0.03 and 0.02 respectively. If the random product was
observed and found to be defective then which plan was most likely used
and thus responsible?
Develop a general Python programming to solve above type of problem.
3 In a certain city, the need for money to buy drugs is stated as the reason for
75% of all thefts. Find the probability that among the next 5 theft cases
reported in the city,
(a) exactly 2 resulted from the need of money to buy drugs.
(b) at least 3 resulted from the need of the money to buy drugs. Also L2, L3 CO2
define the compliment of the given statement mathematically
and literally
(c) Find the mean and S.D
Use appropriate probability distribution.
4 In a certain industrial facility accidents occur infrequently. It is known that
the probability of an accident on any given day is 0.005 and accidents are
independent of each other.
(a) what is the probability that in any given period of 400 days there will be
L2, L3 CO2
an accident on one day?
(b) what is the probability that there are at most three days with an
accident?
Use appropriate probability distribution.
