This document contains 8 questions regarding probability and counting techniques. Question 1 asks about the probability of defects in integrated circuit chips. Question 2 asks about the probability of selecting a coded item with certain letter or number criteria. Question 3 asks about the probability of selecting an odd 3-digit number. Question 4 asks about the number of possible schedules for speakers at a conference given constraints on biologist and engineer speakers. Questions 5-7 ask about probabilities related to lining people up, selecting solar collectors, and accepting batches of motors. Question 8 asks about the number of possible codes, test answer combinations, and production sequences given different constraints.

Sheet 3: Probability Laws & Counting Techniques

Question (1):
The probability that an integrated circuit chip will have defective etching is 0.06, the probability it
will have a crack defect is 0.03, and the probability that it will have both defects is 0.02. What is
the probability that a newly manufactured chip
(a) will have either an etching or a crack defect? (b) will have neither
defect?

Question (2):
If each coded item in a catalogue begins with 3 distinct letters (a-z) followed by 4 distinct non-zero
digits (1-9), find the probability of randomly selecting one of these coded items with the first letter
a vowel {a, e, i, o, u} or the last digit is even.

Question (3):
A three-digit number is formed at random from the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, where each digit can
be used only once. What is the probability of getting an odd number?

Question (4):
A conference on bioinformatics includes six talks for six different speakers (3 biologists and 3
engineers). However, the three biologists must speak first, in any order, followed by the 3 engineers,
in any order. How many different schedules are possible for the six talks in this conference?

Question (5):
In how many ways can 6 people be lined up to get on a bus,
(a) if 3 specific persons insist on following each other?
(b) if 2 specific persons refuse to follow each other?

Question (6):
Among the 12 solar collectors on display at a trade show, 9 are flat-plate collectors and the others
are concentrating collectors. If 4 of the solar collectors are randomly selected, what is the probability
that at most two are concentrating collectors?

Question (7):
A manufacturer supplies cheap motors in batches of size 25. A buyer, before taking a batch, tests at
random a sample of 5 motors and accepts the lot if they are all good. What is the probability that
(a) he will accept a batch containing five defective motors?
(b) he will reject (not accept) a lot containing only one defective motor?

Question (8):
(a) A wireless garage door opener has a code determined by the up or down setting of 12 switches.
How many possible codes are possible?
(b) In how many different ways can a true-false test consisting of 9 questions be answered?
(c) A manufacturing process consists of 10 distinct operations. However, 5 machining operations
must be completed before any of the remaining 5 assembly operations can begin. Within each set of
five, operations can be completed in any order. How many production sequences are possible?
