2-14 A student taking Management Science 301 at East Haven University will receive one of the five possible grades for the course: A, B, C, D, or F. The distribution of grades over the past 2 years is as follows: Assume the value of an A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, and F = 0 and answer the following questions: What is the probability of getting a “C”? What is the Expected Value (or mean) of the distribution?

A deck of four (4) cards has exactly one (1) color printed on each face – blue, yellow, red, or green. You have two (2) identical decks of this type. In this game, you randomly select a card from each of the two decks. Your score is the number of blue cards drawn – refer to this quantity as X. The probability distribution is below: X P(X) 0 0.5625 1 0.375 2 0.0625 What is the average number of blue cards drawn? What is the probability that at most one blue card is drawn?
A food truck near the University of Windsor specializes in healthy sandwiches. The sandwiches are prepared fresh each morning and any unsold sandwiches are donated to a food bank. Each sandwich costs $6 to make and sells for $10. The daily number of sandwiches sold, x, has the following distribution: (shown in image) a. Fill in the missing probability in the table above b. What is the expected daily profit? (hint: find the mean of x and multiply it by profit per sandwich) c. Find the mean, variance and standard deviation of the number of daily number of sandwiches sold. d. What is P(x  2| x < 4)?
The number of hours per week that the television is turned on is determined for each family in a sample. The mean of the data is 31 hours and the median is 27.2hours. Twenty-four of the families in the sample turned on the television for 16 hours or less for the week. The 8th percentile of the data is 16 hours. Based on the given information, determine if the following statement is true or false. The first quartile is less than 16 hours.
In manufacturing integrated circuits, the yield of the manufacturing process is the percentage of good chips produced by the process. The probability that an integrated circuit manufactured by the Ace Electronics Company will be defective is p = 0.04. if a random sample of 18 circuits is selected for testing, answer the following questions. Step 2 of 2: What is the expected number of defective regrated circuits in the sample? Round your answer to two decimal places, if necessary. Answer Tables Keyboard Shortcuts

Megan has purchased the insurance policy from an insurance company to cover the value of hers new car in case if it gets totaled for the price of $1500 per year. Megan's car worth $20000 and the probability of her totaling the car during the length of the policy is estimated to be 0.4%. Let XX be the insurance company's profit. Answer the following questions: 1. Create the probability distribution table for XX : XX outcome profit xx ,$ P(X=x)P(X=x) car is totaled car is not totaled 2. Use the probability distribution table to find the following: E[X]=μX=E[X]=μX= dollars. (Round the answer to 1 decimal place.) SD[X]=σX=SD[X]=σX= dollars. (Round the answer to 1 decimal place.)
