    MAT 212 Probability and Statistics for

    Science and Engineering


    Autumn 2020: Class Test 2
    Time: 60 minutes

    1. If A, B, and C are mutually exclusive events with p(A) = 0.3, p(B) = 0.2 and p(C) = 0.1and
    determine the following probabilities:
    (a) p(A  B  C) (b) p(A  B  C)
    (c) p(A  B) (d) p(A  B  C)
    (e) p(A′  B′  C′)
    (25 points)

    2. Incoming calls to a customer service center are classified as complaints (75% of call) or
    requests for information (25% of calls). Of the complaints, 40% deal with computer
    equipment that does not respond and 57% deal with incomplete software installation; and
    in the remaining 3% of complaints the user has improperly followed the installation
    instructions. The requests for information are evenly divided on technical questions (50%)
    and requests to purchase more products (50%).
    (a) What is the probability that an incoming call to the customer service center will be from
    a customer who has not followed installation instructions properly?
    (b) Find the probability that an incoming call is a request for purchasing more products.
    (20 points)

    3. The following circuit operates if and only if there is a path of functional devices from left
    to right. The probability each device functions is as shown. Assume that the probability that
    a device functions does not depend on whether or not other devices are functional. What is
    the probability that the circuit operates?

    0.9 0.8 0.7

    0.95 0.95 0.95

    (20 points)

    4. Electrical wires are tested for their mechanical strength as well as electrical compliance.
    The results of test batch are summarized as follows:
    Mechanical strength
    acceptable not acceptable
    Electrical acceptable 180 12
    compliance not acceptable 19 6

    Let A denote the event that a sample has acceptable mechanical strength, and let B denote
    the event that a sample has acceptable electrical compliance. Determine:
    (a) p(A) (b) p(B)
    (c) If the selected part has acceptable mechanical strength, what is the probability that the
    electrical compliance is not acceptable?
    (d) If the selected part has acceptable electrical compliance, what is the probability that the
    mechanical strength is acceptable?
    (20 points)

    5. From a class of 9 boys and 6 girls, a group of 5 is to be formed randomly. Find the
    probability that
    (a) the group will have 3 girls;
    (b) the group will have at-least 3 girls
    (5+10 points)
