There is a requirement for 5 teams in a department and the warehouse picks the teams. a) What is the probability that all equipment works correctly? b) What is the probability that at most 3 devices work correctly? c) The expected value, the variance and the standard deviation.

What would the mean number of cell phones being replaced under warranty be? What would be the variance be for the cell phones being replaced by warranty?.
4. If a randomly chosen athlete tests negative, what’s the probability that the student took a banned substance? Explain why it makes sense for the drug-testing process to be designed so that this probability is less than the one you found in Question 3.5. The district decides to immediately retest any athlete who tests positive. Assume that the results of an athlete’s two tests are independent. Find the probability that a student who gets a positive result on both tests actually took a banned substance. Based on your answer, do you think that an athlete who tests positive twice should be suspended from athletic competition for a year? Why or why not?
3. A company produces boxes of candy that contain a mean of 50 candies each. The standard deviation is 2.
