- An insurance
An insurance company receives, on average, two claims per week from a particular factory. Assuming that a Poisson distribution can model the number of claims, find the probability it receives. three claims in a given week, more than four claims in a given - Z-score test
The fish weights in a certain lake are normally distributed with a mean of 11 lb and a standard deviation of 6. If four fish are randomly selected, what is the probability that the mean weight will be between 8.6 and 14.6 lb? Your answer should be a decim - Suppose 6
Suppose the life span of a revolutionary light bulb is normally distributed with a mean life span of 70 thousand hours and a standard deviation of 3 thousand hours. If a light bulb is chosen at random: a) what is the probability the life span will be with - The probability
The probability that a life bulb will have a lifetime of more than 682 hours is 0.9788. The probability that a bulb will have a lifetime of more than 703 hours is 0.0051. Find the probability that a bulb will last for more than 648 hours. - An exam - normal distribution
