has answers: A, B, C, or D. The student guesses on each
question

problem?
b) what is the probability of
success on the 1st repetition?
c) what is the probability of guessing 3 answers
correctly?
d) what is the probability of guessing at most 2 correct?

A 3-person jury has 2 members each of whom have independently a probability 0.7 of making a correct decision. The third juror just flips a coin for each decision. In this jury, the majority rules. A 1-person jury has a probability 0.7 of making a correct decision. What is the probability of the best jury of making a correct decision?

To navigate on Lake Latte (fed by the Decaf and the Vanilla
Rivers) at least two of the three
radio navigation beacons must be working. If the probability that a
beacon is working is
p and the operational status of each station is independent of the
other two, what is the
probability of being able to navigate on the lake? What is the
probability that beacon #2 is
working if navigation on the lake is possible?

Consider an m-member jury that requires n or more votes to convict a defendant. Let p be the probability that a juror votes a guilty person innocent and let q be the probability that a juror votes an innocent person guilty, 0<p<1, 0<q<1. Assuming that r is the fraction of guilty defendants and that jurors vote independently, what is
(a) the probability a defendant is convicted?
(b) the probability a defendant is convicted when n=9, m=12, p=.25, q=.2, and r=5/6? Use R to calculate the result.

It has been determined that an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. spends an average of 108 days per year identifying potential threats to human existence, with a standard deviation of 13.5 days. A random sample of 36 S.H.I.E.L.D. agents is taken.
a. What is the probability that the sample will have a mean of less than 105 days?
b. What is the probability that the sample will have a mean of more than 110 days?
c. What is the probability that the sample will have a mean between 109 and 114 days?
d. What is the probability that the sample will have a mean of no more than 104 days?

The population mean and standard deviation are given below. Find the indicated probability and determine whether a sample mean in the given range below would be considered unusual. If convenient, use technology to find the probability. For a sample of nequals=3737, find the probability of a sample mean being less than 12 comma 75212,752 or greater than 12 comma 75512,755 when muμequals=12 comma 75212,752 and sigmaσequals=1.31.3. For the given sample, the probability of a sample mean being less than 12 comma 75212,752 or greater than 12 comma 75512,755 is
