From a vessel containing 3 white and 6 black balls, 4 balls are transferred into an empty vessel. What is the probability that out of four balls transferred, 3 are white and 1 is black? OR (ii) Two persons A and B make an appointment to meet on a certain day at a certain place between 4 pm and 5 pm at random points of time and agree that each is to wait no more than 15 minutes for the other. Assuming each is independently equally likely to arrive at any time during the hour, find that probability that they meet. (iii) A manufacturer of airplane parts from past experience that the probability is 0.80 that an order will be ready for shipment on time, and it is 0.70 that an order will be ready for shipment on time and will also be delivered on time. What is the probability such an order will be delivered on time given that it was ready for shipment on time? A coffee connoisseur claims that he can distinguish between a cup of instant coffee and a cup of percolator coffee 75% of the time. It is agreed that his claim will be accepted if he correctly identifies at least 5 of the 6 cups. Find his chances of making the claim accepted, rejected, when he does have the ability he claims. Assuming Poisson law for number of errors per page, find the probability that a random sample of 5 pages will contain no errors.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about probability scenarios involving colored balls and a coffee connoisseur's claim regarding his ability to distinguish coffee types. It includes two parts: one about determining the probability of drawing specific colored balls and another about a manufacturer's delivery probability. The overall focus is on applying probability theory to these scenarios.
Answer
1/42
The probability that out of four balls transferred, 3 are white and 1 is black is 1/42.
Answer for screen readers
The probability that out of four balls transferred, 3 are white and 1 is black is 1/42.
More Information
This problem uses combinations to calculate probabilities, considering all possible outcomes and favorable outcomes.
Tips
A common mistake is to miscalculate the number of ways to select each type of ball. Careful attention to detail is important.
