1. Some article studied the probability of death due to burn injuries. The identified risk factors in this study are age greater than 60 years, burn injury in more than 40% of body-surface area, and presence of inhalation injury. It is estimated that the probability of death is 0.003, 0.03, 0.33, or 0.90, if the injured person has zero, one, two, or three risk factors, respectively. Suppose that three people are injured in a fire and treated independently. Among these three people, two people have one risk factor and one person has three risk factors. Let the random variable X denote number of deaths in this fire. Determine the probability mass function of X.
Small Business Failures. A regional director responsible for business development in the state of Pennsylvania is concerned about the number of small business failures. If the mean number of small business failures per month is 10, what is the probability that exactly 4 small businesses will fail during a given month? Assume that the probability of a failure is the same for any two months and that the occurrence or nonoccurrence of a failure in any month is independent of failures in any other month.
