3 An IT help desk has three telephone stations: Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Each of these stations deals only with telephone enquiries.
The probability that an enquiry is received at Alpha is 0.60 .
The probability that an enquiry is received at Beta is 0.25 .
The probability that an enquiry is received at Gamma is 0.15 .
Each enquiry is resolved at the station that receives the enquiry. The percentages of enquiries resolved within various times at each station are shown in the table.
| \multirow{2}{*}{} | Time |
| | \(\boldsymbol { \leqslant } \mathbf { 1 }\) hour | \(\leqslant \mathbf { 2 4 }\) hours | \(\leqslant 72\) hours |
| \multirow{3}{*}{Station} | Alpha | 55 | 80 | 100 |
| Beta | 60 | 85 | 100 |
| Gamma | 40 | 75 | 100 |
For example:
80 per cent of enquiries received at Alpha are resolved within 24 hours;
25 per cent of enquiries received at Alpha take between 1 hour and 24 hours to resolve.
- Find the probability that an enquiry, selected at random, is:
- resolved at Gamma;
- resolved at Alpha within 1 hour;
- resolved within 24 hours;
- received at Beta, given that it is resolved within 24 hours.
- A random sample of 3 enquiries was selected.
Given that all 3 enquiries were resolved within 24 hours, calculate the probability that they were all received at:
- Beta;
- the same station.
