Problem 4S-1

Consider the following system:

→ 0.74 → 0.74 →

Determine the probability that the system will operate under each of these conditions:

a. The system as shown. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 4 decimal places.)

Probability

b. Each system component has a backup with a probability of .74 and a switch that is 100% percent reliable. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 4 decimal places.)

Probability

c. Backups with .74 probability and a switch that is 99 percent reliable. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 4 decimal places.)

Suppose for your company, the probability an individual customer purchases something in-store is 0.74. The probability he or she purchases something online is 0.81. We have described a set of Bernoulli trials with this scenario: (a) There are two outcomes – purchase (a “success”) or no purchase, (b) The probability of a success is constant across trials, and (c) Trials are independent of each other, assuming customers are not related or shopping together. (1) What is the expected...
