Seventy percent of all vehicles examined at a certain emissions inspection station pass the inspection. Assuming that successive vehicles pass or fail independently of one another, calculate the following probabilities. a. P(all of the next three vehicles inspected pass)b. P(at least one of the next three inspected fail)c. P(exactly one of the next three inspected passes)d. P(at most one of the next three vehicles inspected passes)e. Given that at least one of the next three vehicles passes inspection, what is the probability that all three pass?

(a) The probability that all the next three vehicles inspected pass the inspection is 0.343.

(b) The probability that at least 1 of the next three vehicles inspected fail is 0.657.

(c) The probability that exactly 1 of the next three vehicles passes is 0.189.

(d) The probability that at most 1 of the next three vehicles passes is 0.216.

(e) The probability that all 3 vehicle passes given that at least 1 vehicle passes is 0.3525.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of vehicles that pass the inspection.

The probability of the random variable X is P (X) = 0.70.

(a)

Compute the probability that all the next three vehicles inspected pass the inspection as follows:

P (All 3 vehicles pass) = [P (X)]³

Thus, the probability that all the next three vehicles inspected pass the inspection is 0.343.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least 1 of the next three vehicles inspected fail as follows:

P (At least 1 of 3 fails) = 1 - P (All 3 vehicles pass)

Thus, the probability that at least 1 of the next three vehicles inspected fail is 0.657.

(c)

Compute the probability that exactly 1 of the next three vehicles passes as follows:

P (Exactly one) = P (1st vehicle or 2nd vehicle or 3 vehicle)

                         = P (Only 1st vehicle passes) + P (Only 2nd vehicle passes)

                              + P (Only 3rd vehicle passes)

Thus, the probability that exactly 1 of the next three vehicles passes is 0.189.

(d)

Compute the probability that at most 1 of the next three vehicles passes as follows:

P (At most 1 vehicle passes) = P (Exactly 1 vehicles passes)

                                                       + P (0 vehicles passes)

Thus, the probability that at most 1 of the next three vehicles passes is 0.216.

(e)

Let X = all 3 vehicle passes and Y = at least 1 vehicle passes.

Compute the conditional probability that all 3 vehicle passes given that at least 1 vehicle passes as follows:

Thus, the probability that all 3 vehicle passes given that at least 1 vehicle passes is 0.3525.

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.
