6- A family is going to spend a journey in one of three cities. If

the probability going to city A is 0.6, city B is 0.3 and C 0.1. The
probabilities of raining are 0.6, 0.7 and 0.5 if the cities are A, B
and C, respectively. Find the probabilities of:
a) spending a raining journey.
b) spending a non-raining journey.
c) spending a journey in city A such that it’s raining.
d) spending a journey in city B such that it’s not raining.

7- A factory with three production lines, A-B-C, producing 40%,

35% and 25% of the total production, respectively. The
probabilities of producing good products are 95%, 90% and 97%
if the lines are A, B and C, respectively. Find the probabilities of:
a) selecting a good product.
b) selecting a bad product.
c) selecting a product form line A such that it’s good.
d) selecting a product from line C such that it’s bad.

8- Three medical labs (A-B-C) are responsible for testing samples

for a company by percentages 40%, 50% and 10%, respectively.
The probabilities of getting false results are 2%, 4% and 5% if
the labs are A, B and C, respectively. Find the probabilities of:
a) getting False results.
b) getting True results.
c) getting a result from lab A such that it’s False.
d) getting a result from lab B such that it’s True.
