(a) An archer hits a bull’s-eye with a probability of 0.08 and the results of different attempts can be taken to be independent of each other. If the archer shoots ten arrows, calculate the probability that: (i) At most two arrows score bull’s-eyes, (ii) Second arrow hits the bull’s-eyes just at the sixth trial.

An unbalanced coin is weighted so that the probability of heads is 0.55. The coin is tossedten times.(a) What is the probability of getting exactly 6 heads?(b) What is the probability of getting fewer than 3 heads?
If you play roulettes and bet on 'red' the probability that you win is 18/38 = .4737. People often repeat this between several times. We can consider each time we play a 'trial' and consider it a success when we win, so p = 18/38 or (.4737) and q = 20/38 or (.5263). Suppose that Caryl always places the same bet when she plays roulette, $5 on 'red'. Caryl might play just once, or might play several times. She has a profit (having won $5 more times than she lost $5) if she wins more than half of the games she plays. -when you play 401 times, p is the proportion of those 401 games that you win. You'll profit (winning more than you lose) if you win more than half of your bets p > .5000. c) what is the mean or expected value of p? d) what is the standard deviation of p? e) assume that the distribution of p is Normal and find the probability that Caryl will have a profit if she plays 401 times. show your work or calculator input and round your answer to four decimal places
A group of botanists is studying the distribution of carnations in a field. The field is divided into a number of equal sized squares. The mean number of carnations per square is assumed to be 3. The carnations are distributed randomly throughout the field. Find the probability that: (b) (i) there will be more than two carnations. (ii) either five or six carnations.
The route used by a certain motorist in commuting to work contains two intersections with traffic signals. The probability that he must stop at the first signal is 0.45, the analogous probability for the second signal is 0.5, and the probability that he must stop at at least one of the two signals is 0.9. (a) What is the probability that he must stop at both signals? X (b) What is the probability that he must stop at the first signal but not at the second one? X (c) What is the probability that he must stop at exactly one signal?
The flight from Greenville to Charlotte can take anywhere from 43 minutes to 68 minutes. Suppose the random flying times, X, are uniform from 43 to 68 minutes. What is the probability a flight last longer than 59? or P(X>59) Do not round.
Overall, Steve Dalkowski throws a strike with 17% of his pitches (that is, the probability that he throws a strike with any given pitch is .17). (a) In one game, Dalkowski throws 240 pitches. What is the probability that he throws exactly 40 strikes? (b) In one week, Dalkowski throws 400 pitches. What is the probability that he throws 80 or more strikes? Every day for eternity Dalkowski throws 100 pitches, and records the number of strikes. (c) Find the mean µ, and the standard deviation o, of the numbers (of strikes thrown on different days) that Dalkowski records.
