a)

The probability notations of given informations will be as follows :

P(T) = 0.15

P(B) = 0.12

P(B | T) = 0.3

b)

Since P(B | T) is not equal to P(B), events B and T are not independent events.

c)

We have to find P(B ∩ T).

P(B ∩ T) = P(B | T).P(T)

P(B ∩ T) = 0.3 × 0.15

P(B ∩ T) = 0.045

d)

We have to find P(B U T).

P(B U T) = P(B) + P(T) - P(B ∩ T)

P(B U T) = 0.15 + 0.12 - 0.045


P(B U T) = 0.225

e)

We have to find P(T | B).

P( B ∩T )
P ( T|B )=
P(B)

0.045
P ( T|B )=
0.12

P(T | B) = 0.375

Hence the required probability is 0.375.

(a)

The given information in probability notation are,

P(D) = 2% = 0.02

P(Not D) = 1 - P(D) = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98

P(T | D) = 97% = 0.97

P(Not T | Not D) = 94% = 0.94

(b)

P(T | Not D) = 1 - P(Not T | Not D) = 1 - 0.94 = 0.06

By law of total probability, probability that a randomly selected person has a positive blood test
is,

P(T) = P(T | D) P(D) + P(T | Not D) P(Not D)

= 0.97 * 0.02 + 0.06 * 0.98

= 0.0782

(c)

Given a randomly selected person has a positive blood test, probability that they have the disease

= P(D | T)

= P(T | D) P(D) / P(T) {By Bayes Theorem}

= 0.97 * 0.02 / 0.0782


= 0.2480818

(A)
A suitable probability model for X is a binomial distribution.

The parameters of binomial distribution are the number of trials   and probbaility of success or
occurence of event P.

It is denoted as Bin(n,p).

Binomial distribution is an appropriate model for this situation becuase here we have only two
possible outcomes (Whether the sold car comes under the warranty or not) and the probability
for such an event is 0.12 (12%).

Hence, the given situation has n=175 with probability p = 0.12.

so it is denoted as Bin (175, 0.12).

(B)
The probability that exactly 18 cars require service under the warranty

The PMF of binomial distribution is given as

Therefore,

Hence,
The Probability that exactly 18 cars require service under the warranty is 0.0766

(C)
Probability that at least 18 cars require service under the warranty

The Probability that at least 18 cars require service under warranty is 0.7910
