Disks of polycarbonate plastic from a supplier are an- alyzed for scratch and shock resistance. The results from 100 disks are summarized as follows: shock resistance high low scratch high 70 9 resistance low 16 5 (a) If a disk is selected at random, what is the probability that its scratch resistance is high and its shock resistance is high? (b) If a disk is selected at random, what is the probability that its scratch resistance is high or its shock resistance is high? (c) Consider the event that a disk has high scratch resistance and the event that a disk has high shock resistance. Are these two events mutually exclusive?

A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and test 22 tablets, then accept the whole batch if there is only one or none that doesn't meet the required specifications. If a particular shipment of thousands of aspirin tablets actually has a 6% rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted? ... The probability that this whole shipment will be accepted is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Deer ticks can carry both Lyme disease and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE). In a study of ticks in the Midwest, it was found that 15 % carried Lyme disease, while 11 % carried HGE. In addition, of the ticks with either Lyme disease or HGE, 16 % carried both diseases. (a) What is the probability P[L H] that a tick carrries both Lyme disease (L) and HGE (H)? P[LH] = (b) What is the conditional probability that a tick carries HGE, given that it has Lyme disease? P[H|L] =
A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and test 52 tablets, then accept the whole batch if there is only one or none that doesn't meet the required specifications. If one shipment of 4000 aspirin tablets actually has a 5% rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted? Will almost all such shipments be accepted, or will many be rejected? The probability that this whole shipment will be accepted is ______ (Round to four decimal places as needed.) The company will accept ____% of the shipments and will reject ____% of the shipments, so______________ (many of the shipments will be rejected or almost all of the shipments will be accepted. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
A manufacturer of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) is studying their production lines. The probability of sampling a defective LCD is 0.1. A sample of 5 LCDs is taken.
