A baby wombat gets the zoomies 3.2 times an hour on average. You are fortunate enough to be watching this baby wombat! (a) Find the probability that this baby wombat won’t get the zoomies for at least 16 minutes after you start watching it. (b) Find the probability that if the baby wombat hasn’t gotten the zoomies within 14 minutes, it won’t have gotten them within half an hour. (c) Find out how long you should expect it to take before the baby wombat gets the zoomies for the fourth time.

Future scientists: Education professionals refer to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics as the STEM disciplines. A research group reported that 27% of freshmen entering college in a recent year planned to major in a STEM discipline. A random sample of &5 freshmen is selected. Round the answer to at least four decimal places. Part: 0 / 6 Part 1 of 6 Is it appropriate to use the normal approximation to find the probability that less than 32% of the freshmen in the sample are planning to major in a STEM discipline? It is v appropriate to use the normal curve, since np = v 10 and n (1 – p) = 1 V 10. Part: 1 / 6 Part 2 of 6 Find the probability that less than 32% of the freshmen in the sample are planning to major in a STEM discipline. The probability that less than 32% of the freshmen in the sample are planning to major in a STEM discipline is|1. Part 3 of 6 A new sample of 130 freshmen is selected. Find the probability that less than 29% of the freshmen in this new sample…
Based on a study from the Chronicles of Flippin'' Awesomeness, the probability that Napoleon and Pedro make it to their first period class on time is 0.38. The probability that they make it to their first period class on time, given that they catch the bus is 0.60. The probability that Napoleon and Pedro catch the bus and make it to their first period class on time is 0.22. What is the probability that Napoleon and Pedro catch the bus?

At a local high school, 15% of the students have blue eyes. Each day, 9% of the blue-eyed students wear sunglasses on their way to school, while only 2% of the students with non-blue eyes wear sunglasses. Find the probability that a randomly selected student has blue eyes given that they wore sunglasses on their way to school.
A biased coin has a probability of of landing on heads. You toss the coin until it lands on heads. What is the probability that you toss the coin exactly four times?
A study tracked a large group of people for 10 years. At the start of the study, 20% were heavy smokers (H), 30% were light smokers (L), and 50% were non-smokers (N). The interest of the study was whether the people in the study died during the study (D) or not die (Dc ). The probability that a light smoker died during the study was twice that of the probability of a non-smoker dying. Also, the probability that light smoker died during the study was half that of the probability of a heavy smoker dying. A randomly selected person from the study died during the study. What is the probability that this person was a heavy smoker (given they died, what is the probability they were a heavy smoker H)?
Imagine an animal that shows two variants; one long-legged and one short-legged. Each female produces 2 female offspring per generation and then dies. The offspring of the long-legged ones survive to adulthood (reproductive age) with a probability of 55% and the offspring of the short-legged ones survive to adulthood with a probability of 45%. If you begin with a population of 60 females of each type, what proportion of individuals will have long legs in 5 generations? (Note that you can ignore males and count only females and their offspring.) Show all work.
