7. For a particular machine, the probability that it will break down within a week is \( 0.009 \). The manufacturer has installed 800 machines over a wide area. Calculate the probability that (a) 5 , (b) 9 , (c) less than 5 , (d) more than 4 machines breakdown in a week.

A machine that is used in a manufacturing process has four separate components, each of which has a 0.01 probability of failing on any given day. If any component fails, the entire machine breaks down. Find the probability that on a given day the indicated event occurs. a. The machine breaks down. b. The machine does not break down. c. Only one component does not fail.

In a workshop, there are five machines and the probability of any one of them to be out of service on a day is $\frac{1}{4} .$ If the probability that at most two machines will be out of service on the same day is $\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{3} k$, then $k$ is equal to: [Main Jan. 7, 2020 (II)] (a) $\frac{17}{8}$ (b) $\frac{17}{4}$ (c) $\frac{17}{2}$ (d) 4
