Chains "A" and "B" are made of the same steel. "A" consists of three links and "B" consists of six links, each link having a normal distribution function of the resisting strength with a mean of 60,000 psi and standard deviation of 5,000 psi. Determine which chain is generally weaker (from a probabilistic point of view) by plotting the probability distribution functions of their resisting strengths on the same diagram.

Data from 14 cities were combined for a 20-year period, and the total 280 city-years included a total of 107 homicides. After finding the mean number of homicides per city-year, find the probability that a randomly selected city-year has the following numbers of homicides, then compare the actual results to those expected by using the Poisson probabilities:
