Three technicians X, Y and Z service respectively 20%, 30% and 50% breakdowns when occur on an automated production line. The technician X makes an incomplete repair 1 time in 20, Y makes an incomplete repair 1 time in 10 and Z makes an incomplete 1 time in 15. For the next breakdown a repair made was found to be incomplete, find the probability that this repair was made by technician

A taxi cab company has 12 Ambassadors and 8 Fiats. If 5 of these taxi cabs are in the workshop for repair and an Ambassador is as likely to be in for repair as a Fiat, what is the probability that (i) 3 of them are Ambassadors and 2 are Fiats, (ii) at least 3 of them are Ambassadors, and (iii) all 5 are of the same make?
A company has installed 10,000 electric lamps in a metro. If these lamps have an average life of 1,000 burning hours with a S.D. of 200 hours. Assuming normality, what number of lamps might be expected to fail.
i) in the first 800 burning hours.
ii) between 800 and 1200 burning hours.
iii) more than 1000 burning hours
The daily consumption of milk in a city, in excess of 20,000 litres, is approximately distributed as a gamma variate with parameters r = 2 and λ = 1/10,000. The city has a daily stock of 30,000 litres. What is the probability that the stock is insufficient on a particular day?
