1. A computer hacker has 9 passwords to break into several HSBCC bank computers. Only 1 password will open all of the HSBCC bank computers. If 25% of these HSBCC bank computers are usually left unlocked, what is the probability that the computer hacker can get into a specific HSBCC bank computer if the computer hacker selects 5 passwords at random before trying them?

Given that P(D|M1) = 0.12, P(D|M2) = 0.08, P(D|M3) = 0.06,

where P(D|Mj ) is the probability of a defective phone, given that it was made by manufacturer j. If a random Googley phone was observed and found to be defective, which manufacturer (1, 2 or 3) most likely manufactured the phone? Please justify your answer.
