A batch of 50 different automatic typewriters contains exactly
10 defective machines. What is the probability of finding:
(c) The first defective machine to be the k-th machine taken
apart for inspection in a random sequence of machines?
(d) The last defective machine to be the k-th machine taken
apart?
The probability that a radio will last more than 5 years is

5. Calculate the conditional probability distribution,
?(?|?)P(A|B).
6. Calculate the conditional probability distribution,
?(?|?)P(B|A).
7. Does ?(?|?)=?(?|?)P(A|B)=P(B|A)? What do we call the belief
that these are always equal?
8. Does ?(?)=?(?|?)P(A)=P(A|B)? What does that mean about the
independence of ? and B?
A batch of 500 disks contains 5 defectiv disks. Two are selected
randonly without replacement, from the batch. Let A and B denote
the events that the first and the second selected disks are
defective, respectively.
a) Are A and B independents events?
b) If the samplins was done with replacement, would A and B be
independent?

mixture exits the tank at the same rate. What is the concentration
of salt in the tank after 5 minutes?

Use the Central Limit Theorem to calculate the following
probability. Assume that the distribution of the population data is
normally distributed. A person with “normal” blood pressure has a
diastolic measurement of 75 mmHg, and a standard deviation of 4.5
mmHg.
i) What is the probability that a person with “normal” blood
pressure will get a diastolic result of over 80 mmHg, indicating
the possibility of pre-hypertension?
ii) If a patient takes their blood pressure every day for 10
days,...
