A salesperson goes door-to-door in a residential area to demonstrate the use of a new household appliance to potential customers. At the end of the demonstration, it was found that 1 out of 5 potential customers would place an order for the product. If the salesperson makes 15 demonstrations, what is the probability that between 2 and 5 orders will be mad

Some electronic devices are better used than new: The failure rate is higher when they are new than when they are six months old. For example, 43.00% of the personal music players of a particular brand have a flaw. If the player has the flaw, it dies in the first six months. If it does not have this flaw, then only 3.000% fail in the first six months. Yours died after you had it for three months. What are the chances that it has this flaw?
Bryan is performing data entry for an insurance company by taking handwritten records and entering them into the database. Thus far, 15.6% of the handwritten records have had missing data that prevented them from being entered into the database. If Bryan takes 10 handwritten records, what is the probability that at most three records will be incomplete?
In automotive repair, experience has shown that a rough - running engine can be attributed to the bad ignition wires 35% of the time, bad spark plugs 80% of the time, and both problems 20% of the time. Suppose a mechanic begins to diagnose the problem by checking the spark plugs first and find them to be bad. Given this information, what is the probability that the wires are also bad?
A door-to-door salesman expects to make a sale 21% of the time when starting the day. But making a sale increases his enthusiasm so much that the probability of a sale to the next customer is 0.32. If he makes no sale, the probability for a sale to the next customer stays at 0.21. What is the probability that he will make at least two sales with his first three visits?

A professional tennis player claims to get 90% of her second serves in. In a recent match, the player missed 5 of her first 20 second serves. Is this a surprising result if the player's claim is true? Assume that the player has a 0.10 probability of missing each second serve. We want to carry out a simulation to estimate the probability that she would miss 5 or more of her first 20 second serves. The dotplot displays the number of second serves missed by the player out of the first 20 second serves in 100 simulated matches. ▪………………………. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●● A●●●●●●●● …………….. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Number of missed serves in simulated match 7 Is there convincing evidence that the player misses more than 10% of her second serves? Why or why not? No, there is not convincing evidence that the player misses more than 10% of her second serves. Missing 5 out of 20 is better than expected. No, there is not convincing evidence that the player misses more than 10% of her second serves. Assuming the player makes…
In the last week of the semester, Stéphane decides to “reward” the students by no longer limiting himself to 4 exercises and instead assigning every activity he writes.
