Problem 10 (5.22)

Sixty percent of Americans read their employment contracts, including the fine print. Assume that the number of employees who read every word of their contract can be modeled using the binomial distribution. For a group of five employees, what is the probability that

c. less than two will have read every word of their contract?

 

Problem 11 (5.23)

A student is taking a multiple-choice exam in which each question has four choices. Assuming that she has no knowledge of the correct answer to any of the questions, she has decided on a strategy in which she will place four balls marked A, B, C, and D into a box. She randomly selects one ball for each question and replaces the ball in the box. The marking on the ball will determine her answer to the question. There are five multiple-choice questions on the exam. What is the probability that she will get

a. five questions correct?

b. at least four questions correct?

c. no questions correct?

d. no more than two questions correct?

 

Problem 12 (5.27)

When a customer places an order with Rudy’s On-Line Office Supplies, a computerized accounting information system (AIS) automatically checks to see if the customer has exceeded his or her credit limit. Past records indicate that the probability of customers exceeding their credit limit is 0.05. Suppose that, on a given day, 20 customers place orders. Assume that the number of customers that the AIS detects as having exceeded their credit limit is distributed as a binomial random variable.

a. What are the mean and standard deviation of the number of customers exceeding credit limit?  

b. What is the probability that zero customers will exceed their limit?

c. What is the probability that one customer will exceed his or her limit?

d. What is the probability that two or more customers will exceed their limits?

 

Problem 13 (5.31)

Assume a Poisson distribution.

a. If l = 2.0, find P(X ³ 2).

b. If l = 8.0, find P(X ³ 3).

c. If l = 0.5, find P(X £ 1).

d. If l = 4.0, find P(X ³ 1).

e. If l = 5.0, find P(X £ 3).

 

Problem 14 (5.33)

Assume that the number of network errors experimented in a day on a local area network (LAN) is distributed as a Poisson random variable. The mean number of network errors experienced in a day is 2.4. What is the probability that in a given day

b. exactly one network error will occur?

c. two or more network errors will occur?

d. fewer than three network errors will occur?

 

Problem 15 (5.37)

The U.S. Department of Transportation maintains statistics for mishandled bags per 1,000 passengers. In 2003 Delta had 3.84 mishandled bags per 1,000 passengers. What is the probability that in the next 1,000 passengers Delta will have

a. no mishandled bags?
