Question

The following relates to Problems 5-6. In this problem, we still consider the car service company's budgeting plans, but we are no longer interested in X and Y. Therefore, this problem is independent of previous problems. The company sales manager estimates that the proportion of customers who received a gift card at the end of the year is 0.10, and that the number of customers, T, between two consecu- tive gift card receivers is a geometric random variable. Problem 5: Given that the company already rotated the tires of 100 distinct customers, the chance that the company will have to rotate the tires of at least additional 10 distinct customers before seeing the first repeat customer is $\left(\frac{1}{10}\right)^{10}$; [2] $\left(\frac{1}{9}\right)^{10}$; [3] $1 - \left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^{10}$; [4] $\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^{10}$; [4] Problem 6: The probability that the company rotated the tires of at most 400 distinct cars from the beginning of the year before seeing the 10th repeat customer is approximately (show your work); [4]

At a local auto parts store, the economy ball joints have questionable quality. In the supply the 20 at the stir 7 are unstable for install in a vehicle. A. If 4 customers purchase ball joints from the supply (1 joint per customer for a total of 4) what is the probability that at most one of the customers will need to return for a replacement? B. From part a) assume that a customer did in fact need to return one of the joints (no other customer need to return). What is the probability this customer will need to return again if they decide to buy 2 joints the second time (both joints defective) C. Upon installing a non-defective ball joint in his car, Ralph forgets to properly torque the lug nuts on his wheel. If the wheel has a 5 lug pattern what is the probability that he will make it exactly 15 miles back to the parts store to return the extra ball joint if the probability a lug will come off in any given mile is .25? (Wheels fall off in parking lot when he locks the door) You may assume the lugs will not fall off at the same time.

During its grand opening week, Stickler's bicycle shop offers a "wheel of discount savings." After customers select the items they wish to purchase, they spin the wheel to determine the discount they will receive. The wheel is divided into 12 equal slices. Six slices are red and award a 10% discount, three slices are white and award a 20% discount, and two slices are blue and award a 40% discount. The remaining slice is gold and awards a 100% discount!

Problem 5 A factory manager verifies the state of the machines in her factory. Checking her statistics, she finds that for each machine, the probability of having a failure within the first 5 years of operation is 30%. Among the machines which had a failure in the first five years, the probability of having a more significant failure subsequently and permanently going out of order is 75%. Among the machines which did not have a failure in the first 5 years, that probability is only 40%. 1. What is the probability for a machine which is at least 5 years old to go permanently out of order? 2. What is the probability that a machine which is permanently out of order did not have a failure in the first 5 years? 3. Let X be the random variable corresponding to the number of machines which have a failure within the first 5 years among 10 machines chosen at random. Write the probability mass function for X. 4. What is the expected value of X, and what is its variance?

00:01 Okay, let's start the solution.
00:01 So here, a, a, p equal to probability of defective ballpoint, of defective ball point, ball point, ball joint, so x is the number, x is the number of, of defective ball joints, ball joints.
00:48 Of at most at most one need to return for a for a replacement equal to probability of x is smaller than equal to 1 equal to probability of x equal to 0 plus probability of x equal to 1 so which is equal to which is equal to 0 .8 56 to 998 b, let a be the event, event out of four one is defective, out of four, one is defective, one is defective, one is defective, b, b, out of two, two are defective.
02:00 To a defective...
