- Error rate
The exam has six questions. Students have an error rate of 20% and can have a maximum of 1 question wrong. What is the probability that they will succeed? - Suppose 4
Suppose that 14% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked (rather than having to be scrapped). Consider a random sample of 200 shafts, and let X denote the number among these that are nonconforming and can be - Rich retirement
Health care issues are receiving much attention in both academic and political arenas. A sociologist recently surveyed citizens over 60 years of age whose net worth is too high to qualify for government health care but who have no private health insurance - Mortality tables
Mortality tables enable actuaries to obtain the probability that a person will live a specified number of years at any age. Insurance companies and others use such probabilities to determine life insurance premiums, retirement pensions, and annuity paymen
- Binomial probability
What is the binominal probability that at least 4 of the six trials (n=6) are succeeded where φ = 0.50? - Probability 53061
One hundred people work in the office. Each of them spends an average of 25 minutes daily on the phone. A working day has 8 hours. What is the probability that ten workers will be on the phone simultaneously in one day? - Poisson distribution - daisies
The meadow behind FLD was divided into 100 equally large parts. Subsequently, it was found that there were no daisies in ten of these parts. Estimate the total number of daisies in the meadow. Assume that daisies are randomly distributed in the meadow. - Three sigma rule
The height of trees in a given stand is known to be a quantity with a normal probability distribution with a mean value of 15 m and a variance of 5 m². Determine the interval in which there will be tree heights in such a stand with a probability of 90% - A machine
A machine produces steel rods of normally distributed length, the mean length and the standard deviation being 50.0 cm and 0.5 cm, respectively. The rods do not conform to safety standards if they are either shorter than 49.1 cm or longer than 50.7 cm in

We were tasked with throwing the dice until we hit the "six." a) Find the average number of throws we will have to make to complete the task. b) How many times do we have to roll the dice so that the probability of falling at least one "six" is at least 9 - Twenty
Twenty swallows sit on a 10 m long telephone cable. Assume that swallows are completely randomly distributed along the line. (a) What is the probability that more than three swallows sit on a randomly selected section of cable 1 m long? (b) What is the pr - 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. - Statistical survey
Write TRUE OR FALSE for each question: 1 Standard deviation measures central location. 2. The most frequent observation in a data set is known as the mode. 3 The most passive method of data collection is observation. 4 Access time for secondary data is sh - Bernoulli distribution
The production of solar cells produces 2% of defective cells. Assume the cells are independent and that a lot contains 800 cells. Approximate the probability that less than 20 cells are defective. (Answer to the nearest three decimals).

The police solved 21 crimes in the monitored period. The probability of solving a crime is 0.64. What is the probability that the police: a) just solved 7 crimes b) did not solve at least 2 criminal offenses P.S. Let's assume ideal police officers - Probability 38041
Seven women and 3 men work in one office. According to the new regulation, reducing the number of employees by three is necessary. In a random sample of employees, what is the probability that they will be fired: a. One woman and two men b. At least one w - Probability 37651
What is the probability that in a family with four children, there are: a) at least three girls b) at least one boy, If the probability of a boy is 0.51? - Covid-19
Data showed that 22% of people in a small town were infected with the COVID-19 virus. A random sample of six residents from this town was selected. Find the probability that exactly two of these residents were infected. - Probability 37381
The machine produces one part in 2 minutes. The probability that it is defective is 0.05. What probability will the machine produce exactly ten defective parts per shift (8 hours)?
