(a) A statistical instructor has observed that the number of typographical errors in new editions of textbooks varies considerably from book to book. After some analysis, he concludes that the number of errors is Poisson distributed with a mean of 1.5 per 100 pages. The instructor randomly selects 100 pages of new book. What is the probability that there are no typographical errors? (b) Refer to (a). Suppose that the instructor has just received a copy of a new statistics book. He notices that there are 400 pages. i) What is the probability that there are no typos? ii) What is the probability that there are five or fewer typos?

Suppose 3096 of the students wish to buy the hard copy of the Probability & Statistics book and remaining to buy the soft copy from a store. Consider randomly selecting 20 students. (a) What is the probability that the number of students who wish to purchase hard copy is more than two standard deviations away from the mean value? (b) The book store has 15 hard copies and license of 15 soft copies. If 20 people come in one by one to purchase the book, what is the probability that all 20 get the type of book they want from the store?
The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is a random variable x with a mean of 8.4 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.3 minutes. Assume that the distribution of taxi and takeoff times is approximately normal. You may assume that the jets are lined up on a runway so that one taxies and takes off immediately after the other, and that they take off one at a time on a given runway. (a) What is the probability that for 38 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be less than 320 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(b) What is the probability that for 38 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be more than 275 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(c) What is the probability that for 38 jets on a given runway, total taxi and takeoff time will be between 275 and 320 minutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
According to results from the analysis of chocolate bars in Chapter 3, the mean number of insect fragments was 14.4 in 225 grams. Assume the number of fragments follows a Poisson distribution.(a) What is the mean number of grams of chocolate until a fragment is detected?(b) What is the probability that there are no fragments in a 28.35-gram(one-ounce) chocolate bar?(c) Suppose you consume seven one-ounce(28,35-gram) bars this week. What is the probability of noinsect fragments?
Fifty random shoppers at an electronics store have been interviewed and 35 of them intend to purchase a newly released smart phone. What probability distribution describes this situation and what are its mean and standard deviation of phone sales if we are concerned about 1071 shoppers that day? Compute to the nearest whole number.
A study by the American Heart Association studied the distribution of birth weights for 1295 newborns (preterm babies excluded). They found that the birth weight of human babies is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 7.6 pounds and a standard deviation of 1.09 pounds. (a.) What is the probability that a randomly chosen baby weighs more than 9 pounds at birth? (b.) What is the probability that a randomly chosen baby weights between 6 and 8 pounds at birth? (c.) What is the 80th percentile for birth weight?
Question 3 What is the answer to part (iv) Flaws occur at random along the length of a thin copper wire. Assume that the number of flaws follow a Poisson distribution with a mean of 2.3 flaws per millimetre. (i) Determine the probability of exactly 3 flaws in 1 millimetre of wire. ii) Determine the probability of 10 flaws in 5 millimetres of wire. iii) Determine the probability of at least 2 flaws in 2 millimetres of wire. (iv) What is the expectation and standard deviation for the aforementioned distribution?
Suppose a geyser has a mean time between eruptions of 92 minutes. Let the interval of time between the eruptions be normally distributed with standard deviation 24 minutes. Complete parts (a) through (e) below.
The manager of a restaurant believes that waiters and waitresses who introduce themselves by telling customers their names will get larger tips than those who don't. In fact, she claims that the average tip for the former group is 17% while that of the latter is only 12%. If tips are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 9%. what is the probability that in a random sample of 13 tips recorded from waiters and waitresses who introduce themselves and 13 tips from waiters and waitresses who don't, the mean of the former will exceed that of the latter? Probability =
5) The daily revenue at a university snack bar has records to indicate that the mean daily revenue is $2,400 and standard deviation is $600. A random sample of 81 days was selected. Find the approximate probability that the average revenue for the sample is less than $2,300.
Suppose the demand for a company’s product in week 1,2, & 3 are each normally distributed. The means are 50, 45, and 65. The standard deviations are 10,5, and 15. Assume these 3 demands are probabilistically independent. Suppose the company has 180 units in stock, and it will not be receiving any more shipments from its supplier for at least 3 weeks. What is the probability that stock will run out during the 3 week period? How many units should the company have in stock, so that it can be 98% certain of not running out during the 3 week period , assuming it will not receive any more shipments during this period?
A grocery store produce manager is told by a wholesaler that the apples in a large shipment have a mean weight of 8 ounces and standard deviation of 1.6 ounces. The manager is going to select 64 apples randomly. (a) The manager decides to return the shipment if the samples mean weight of 64 apples is less than 7.6 ounces. Assuming that the wholesaler’s claim is true, find the probability that the shipment of apples will be returned. (b) The manager is willing to risk a 1% chance of returning the shipment. Assuming the wholesaler’s claim is true and the sample mean weight of 64 apples falls below X bar ounces. Find X bar.
The taxi and takeoff time for commercial jets is a random variable x with a mean of 8.7 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.5 minutes.
