The probability that data are entered incorrectly into a field in a database is 0.008. A data entry form has 24 fields, and errors occur independently for each field. The random variable X is the number of fields on the form with an error. Does X have a discrete uniform distribution? Why or why not?

Find the probability that in a street of 10 houses he receives: i exactly 5 replies ii at least 5 replies. i How many houses should he visit such that the random variable X = 'number of replies' has a mean of 78? ii What is the variance in this case?
Let a be a random variable representing the percentage of protein content for early bloom alfalfa hay. The average percentage protein content of such early bloom alfalfa should be u = 17.2%. A farmer's co-op is thinking of buying a large amount of baled hay but suspects that the hay is from a later summer cutting with lower protein content. A small amount of hay was removed from each bale of a random sample of 50 bales. The average protein content from the samples was determined by a local agricultural college to be -15.8% with a sample standard deviation of S = 5.3%- At a = .05, does this hay have lower average protein content than the early bloom alfalfa?
Let X denote the random variable that gives the sum of the faces that fall uppermost when two fair dice are cast. Find P ( X = 5 )
4. A large insurance company indicates that 78% of the policy holders have at least one health issues and 22% do not health issues. Let Y1 be a random variable defined as Yı = 0, if the policy holder does not have any health issues; Yı = 1, if the if the policy holder have health issues. Write the probability distribution of Y1, E(Y1) and Var(Y1).
Suppose that the time. in days, required to repair a heat pump is a random variable X having a gamma distribution with parameters k = 8 and A = 2. What is the probability that on the next service call (a) at most 3 day will be required to repair the heat pump? (b) at least 2 days will be required to repair the heat pump? %3D %3D
A large ski mountain has a fleet of 4 snowmobiles it uses during the winter season. It believes that the time between consecutive repair operations for a single snowmobile is an exponential random variable with a mean of .75 weeks. There are two dedicated technicians that are capable of repairing the snowmobiles. A broken down snowmobile will be repaired by one of these technicians (when one becomes available) and the repair time of a snowmobile can be modeled as an exponential random variable with a mean of .4 weeks. (a) Describe a queueing system model of the repair operations of the snowmobiles by answering the following questions: What are the customers in the queueing system? What are the servers and what service is being provided? b) Provide the rate transition diagram of the birth and death process that captures the queueing system. Be sure to provide λn and µn for each relevant value of n and your logic behind any calculations used to obtain them (c) Provide the…
A certain type of tree has seedlings randomly dispersed in a large area, with the mean density of seedlings being approximately three per square yard. If the seedlings are randomly dispersed, the number of seedlings per region, Y can be modelled as a Poisson random variable. If a 1 forester randomly locates ten 1-square-yard sampling regions in the area, the probability that none of the regions will contain seedlings is 0.0498. 2.3.1 If the seedlings really are randomly dispersed, the number of seedlings per region, Y, can be modelled as a Poisson random variable with 2 = 3. Interpret 1 =3. 2.3.2 State the moment generating function_of the random variable Y.

Soledad and Tania are both high school students. The number of texts Soledad sends daily, S, is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 6 texts. The number of texts Tania sends daily, T, is approximately Normally distributed with a mean of 108 and a standard deviation of 8.1 texts. Assume that S and T are independent random variables. Let D = S – T. What is the probability that Soledad sends more texts on a randomly selected day? 0.104 0.214 0.786 0.896

Total blood volume (in mi) per body wight (in ke) is important in medical research. For healthy aduks, the red blood cell volume mean is about p = 28 ml/kg.t Red blood cell vokume that is too lom ar too high can indicate a medical problem. Suppose that koger has had seven blood tests, and the red blood cell volumes weré as follows Let x be a random variable that represents Roger's red blood cll volume. Assume that x has a narmal distributian and - 4.75. Do the data indicate that koger's red blood cell valume is different (either way) from a- 28 mi/kg? Use a 0.01 lervel of significance. a What is the leval of sigaicance State the null and alternate hypotheses. Will you use a left-lailed, right-laded, or two-tailed test?
