(a) what is the probability that more than four but less than eight motor vehicle claims will be received on any given day? (b) what is the probability that more than two motor vehicle claim is received over any given period of three working days?

8 In a supermarket, the prices marked on the signs that are placed on the shelf do not always correspond to the current price of the merchandise, since errors may occur when recording price changes. Assume that over time 60% of the price changes are increases and 40% are decreases. Assume also that 93% of the price increases are marked correctly, as are 98% of the reductions. If a price is not marked correctly, what is the probability that the change is a reduction?.
Of all mortgage foreclosures in the United States, 41% are caused by disability. People who are injured or ill cannot work--they then lose their jobs and thus their incomes.

(Give your answers correct to three decimal places.) (a) Find the probability of P(Five or fewer of the foreclosures are due to disability)(b) Find the probability of P(At least three foreclosures are due to a disability)
