To see how these fractions are equal, I divided the numerators by the denominators. For instance, you could have 4 over 5 (4/5) and divide 4 by 5 (4/5) to get 0.8. Now you'll do the same thing for the fractions given

24/45=0.533...

8/15=0.533...

48/90=0.533...

5/9=0.5556

As you can see, the only fraction that doesn't equal 0.53, or the outlier, is 5/9 or 0.5556

Answer:

(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.

(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

$=(0.70)^{3}\\=0.343$

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)

$=1-0.343\\=0.657$

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)

$=(0.70\times0.30\times0.30) + (0.30\times0.70\times0.30)+(0.30\times0.30\times0.70)\\=0.189$

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)

$=0.189+(0.30\times0.30\times0.30)\\=0.216$

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:

$P(X|Y)=\frac{P(X\cap Y)}{P(Y)} =\frac{P(X)}{P(Y)} =\frac{(0.70)^{3}}{[1-(0.30)^{3}]} =0.3525$

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