Exercise 1

A bank has two ATMs that process card payments and loan payments. In any given hour,
ATM 1 managed to process 2 card payments and 3 loan payments. And in that same hour,
teller 2 processed one card payment and 3 loan payments. The following table
summarizes the above.

cashier 1 cashier 2 TOTALS

Card 2 1 3

Loan 3 3 6

TOTAL 5 4 9

The bank manager believes that if he takes several random payments they will be from
teller 1 as he believes it is better than teller 2. If the manager takes three payments at
random, what is the probability that all three are from cashier 1? (3 points)

R/ (5/9)*(4/8)*(3/7) = 11.9%

What is the probability, taking a payment at random, that it will be from ATM 1 cards or
ATM 2 loan cards? (3 points)

R/ (2/9)+(3/9) = 56%

If you are the manager of the card department and want to compare the two cashiers in
terms of the amount of payments they process for your department. What is the
probability that taking a random card payment was processed by cashier 1? (3 points)

R/ (2/3) = 67%
Exercise 2

an industrial engineer and the probability of selecting an engineer who is male, it is
concluded that the which events, being an industrial engineer and being male are:

Female 7 2 4 1

1. Select one(1pt)
a. Not mutually exclusive
b. Dependents
c. Mutually exclusive
d. None of the above

2. Determine, if a student is taken at random, what is the probability that he/she is

interested in civil engineering or that he/she is male. (4pt)
R/
Sums (1pt)

Industrial Civil Electronics Other

Male 8 6 6 6 26
Female 7 2 4 1 14

26/40 + 8/40 - 6/40 = 70% (3pt)

The following table shows for several patients the number of days they had to spend in
the hospital according to the service to which they belonged.

Service day and 5 days days days TOTALS

c) The probability of a pediatric patient spending more than 10 days in hospital. (3

points)

d) The probability that a randomly selected patient is a cardiology or neurology

patient. (3 points)

R/

a) It is a conditional rule. P(>10 | Cardiology) = 4/20 = 20%.

b) P(1-5) = 12/64 = 18.75%

c) P(C or P) = 0/15 = 0%.

d) (20+10)/64 = 46,88%
Exercise 4

In software development, when programming a string of code, it is common to make

mistakes that lead to the code not working. A systems engineer involved in software
development has subdivided a long string of code into 4 sections, in order to review them
one by one because the software is not working as it should.

The errors that exist in the program are shown below.

Making use of the table and answer what is asked:

Division by Uninitialized Access

Code section Infinite cycle TOTAL
zero variable violation
Section 1 1 1 2 1 5
Section 2 1 2 2 1 6
Section 3 0 3 1 3 7
Section 4 1 3 4 2 10
TOTAL 3 9 9 7 28

a. What is the probability that if you only check for errors in uninitialized variables,
the first error you find will be one coming from section 1?(3pt)

R/ 2/ 9 = 22.22%

b. What is the probability that, in the same code, 3 consecutive errors occur, coming
from section 2? (3pt)

R/ (6/28)*(5/27)*(4/26) = 0.61%

What is the probability that if you only check section 1, the first error you find is an
uninitialized variable error? NOTE: FROM YOUR ANSWER WITH 2 DECIMALS(3pt.)
A/ It is known to work with section1, therefore it is conditional:

P(VNI | Section1) = 2/5 = 40%.

The probability that you will encounter an uninitialized variable error, knowing that you
are working with section 1 of the code is 40%.

a. What is the probability that, reviewing your code in no particular order, you will
first find an Infinite Cycle error? NOTE: FROM YOUR ANSWER WITH TWO
DECIMALS(3pt.)
If you work in no particular order, you may encounter any of the 3 infinite-cycle errors
throughout the program.

P(CI) = 3/28 = 10.71%.

The probability of encountering an infinite cycle error of first, if working at random is

10.71%.

"mania", it was determined that 23% of the population does know the terminology in
