We use statistics to describe events in the past or expectations about the future, and the financial calculator provides valuable shortcuts for performing various statistical calculations, such as means, standard deviations, and regression parameters. When calculating statistics from data, it is important to recognize when you are working with a population or a sample. In general, a means you are working with all possible outcomes/ realizations, while a Entering Statistical Data If you are entering one variable list, type each value and press E+.

A food safety engineer has discovered that a food warmer has temperature problems. While they set up the temperature at 78c, it heats with the mean of 78c but a standard deviation of 2c. The problem is that any food that drops below 74c can create food poison for the consumers. What is the probability of having non-standard food from this food warmer? In other words, what proportion of food can be a health hazard? (Use the number only without any extra character or % sign)
Suppose that unknown to a geneticist, there are 6 out of 12 genes that play a significant role in developing skin cancer. If the geneticist randomly samples 5 of these 12 genes and studies them, the probability that he will have sampled more than 4 skin cancer related genes is Note: Provide your answer in three decimal points e.g. 0.001
