Suppose, you are running an experiment that has two outcomes, namely 'success' and 'failure'. You intially don't know the probability of success in a single experiment. But you know that, if you continue to run the experiment several times, the expected number of experiment required for the first success is 8. What is the standard deviation of the number of experiments required for the first success? In details.
Fifty random shoppers at an electronics store have been interviewed and 35 of them intend to purchase a newly released smart phone. What probability distribution describes this situation and what are its mean and standard deviation of phone sales if we are concerned about 1071 shoppers that day?

The 3-point shooter star of your favourite team usually attempts twelve 3-point shots in a basketball game. The team record shows that the shooter makes 45% of all 3-point shots attempted in a game. Assuming that the shots are independent of each other,what is probability that the star will make shots at least 2 standard deviation more than the expected?
Each week a grocer purchases 60 gallons of milk at the beginning of the week. At the endof the week any unused milk must be thrown away. The demand for milk is normally distributed witha mean of 51 gallons per week and a standard deviation of 9 gallons per week. (a) What is the probability that the store runs out of milk at some point during the week? (b) What is the probability that the grocer does not run out of milk in any of the next five weeks?

A dean in the business school claims that GMAT scores of applicants to the school's MBA program have increased during the past 5 years. Five years ago, the mean and standard deviation of GMAT scores of MBA applicants were 550 and 60, respectively. 30 applications for this year's program were randomly selected and the GMAT scores recorded. If we assume that the distribution of GMAT scores of this year's applicants is the same as that of 5 years ago, find the probability of erroneously concluding that there is not enough evidence to supports the claim when, in fact, the true mean GMAT score is 590. Assume αα is 0.02.
The average time a CEO remains in office for a certain company is 3.6 years; then a new CEO is selected. It seems that the length of time in office of each CEO is quite unpredictable.
