Suppose a number is chosen at random from the set (0,1,2,3,. .. ,202). What is the probability that the number is a perfect cube? - Probability 49331
There are 1 to 20 start numbers in the draw. What is the probability that the first downhill raffle will draw a start number less than 6? - The profit 3
An investment's profit (or loss) is normally distributed with a mean of $11,200 and a standard deviation of $8,250. What is the probability of a loss rather than a profit? - Seeds
From a box of spruce seeds with a germination of 80%, we randomly selected ten seeds and planted them. Find the median of the random variable: the number of germinating seeds. - Probability 36081
There are 6 white and several red balls in the box. How many red balls must there be so that the probability of drawing a red ball is less than the probability of drawing a white ball or greater than the probability of drawing a white ball? - Distribution 81063
The weight of a loaf of bread should be 900 g. Loaves whose weight differs by more than 30 g from this value must be rejected. Determine the probability that a loaf is rejected if its weight has a normal distribution N(900,40). - Bulb life
Tests show that the lives of light bulbs are normally distributed with a mean of 750 hours and a standard deviation of 75 hours. Find the probability that a randomly selected light bulb will last between 675 and 900 hours. - Friends 81380
In the lottery, where 326 numbers are drawn, Maros marked 7 numbers on the ticket. Kamil marked 11 numbers in another lottery, and 421 numbers were drawn. Which of these friends has a better chance of winning? - The average 7
The average lifespan for cricket is 90 days, with a standard deviation of 13 days. If we assume that the lifespan of cricket is normally distributed, a. What is the probability a randomly selected cricket has a lifespan of fewer than 75 days? b. What is t - Probability 3322
We have the numbers 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. What is the probability that with a randomly selected triangle, these will be the lengths of the sides of a scalene triangle? - Probability 7991
We have the numbers 4, 6, 9, 13, and 15. What is the probability that these will be the lengths of the sides of the triangle? (Consider only scalene triangles.) - The chief
The chief fisherman Peter estimates that if he uses four lines, then the probability of making a catch on one line is 0.7. If he uses five lines, then the probability of making a catch on any line is 0.6. If he uses six lines, the probability of making a - Determine 79634
There are 12 apples and 10 pears in the basket. Peter has to choose either an apple or a pear from them so that Víra, who chooses 1 apple and 1 pear after him, has the greatest possible choice. Determine what Peter chooses. - Distribution 73724
