There are 12 switches that can each be set to up or down, resulting in 212 or 4096 possible codes for the wireless garage door opener. The probability of an electrical connector failing during the warranty period if kept dry is 1%, while the probability of failure is 5% if ever wet. Given that 90% of connectors are kept dry and 10% wet, the proportion of connectors that fail during the warranty period is 1.1%. Computer keyboard failures are most likely due to mechanical defects (88%), within which loose keys cause 27% of those defects.

2. A wireless garage door opener has a code determined by the up or down setting of 12 switches.

How many
outcomes are in the sample space of possible codes?

3. The probability is 1% that an electrical connector that is kept dry fails during the warranty period of a portable
computer. If the connector is ever wet, the probability of a failure during the warranty period is 5%. If 90% of the
connectors are kept dry and 10% are wet, what proportion of connectors fail during the warranty period?

4. Computer keyboard failures are due to faulty electrical connects (12%) or mechanical defects (88%). Mechanical
defects are related to loose keys (27%) or improper assembly (73%). Electrical connect defects are caused by
defective wires (35%), improper connections (13%), or poorly welded wires (52%).
