Assignment 01

This document contains two probability questions from an assignment for a course on probability and random variables. The first question asks the probability that the life of an electronic component is less than or equal to 6000 hours, and the probability that its life is greater than 4000 hours, given that the probability of life exceeding 6000 hours is 0.42 and life not exceeding 4000 hours is 0.04. The second question asks the probabilities of a randomly selected lot from a producer containing 0, 1, or 2 defective electronic components, given the probabilities of the lot types and the information that 2 randomly selected components from the lot were found to be non-defective.

4th Semester, EED, Assignment # 1

Q1. Consider Interest centres on the life of an electronic component. Suppose it is known that the
probability that the component survives for more than 6000 hours is 0.42. Suppose also that the
probability that the component survives no longer than 4000 hours is 0.04.

(a) What is the probability that the life of the component is less than or equal to 6000 hours?
(b) What is the probability that the life is greater than 4000 hours? (5 Marks) ( CLO-1)

Q2. A producer of a certain type of electronic component ships to suppliers in lots of twenty. Suppose
that 60% of all such lots contain no defective components, 30% contain one defective component, and
10% contain two defective components. A lot is picked, two components from the lot are randomly
selected and tested, and neither is defective.

(a) What is the probability that zero defective components exist in the lot?
(b) What is the probability that one defective exists in the lot?
(c) What is the probability that two defectives exist in the lot? (5 Marks) (CLO-1)
