2. An archer hits a bull's-eye with a probability of 0.09, and the results of different attempts can be taken to beindependent of each other. If the archer shoots nine arrows, calculate the probability that:(a) Exactly two arrows score bull's-eyes.(b) At least two arrows score bull's-eyes.(c) What is the expected number of bull's-eyes scored?

Solution: 2. Let X be the number of bull’s eyes scored and n be the sample number of arrows. From…

Based on a survey, assume that 33% of consumers are comfortable having drones deliver their purchases. Suppose we want to find the probability that when six consumers are randomly selected, exactly three of them are comfortable with the drones. What is wrong with using the multiplication rule to find the probability of getting three consumers comfortable with drones followed by three consumers not comfortable, as in this calculation: (0.33)(0.33)(0.33)(0.67)(0.67)(0.67) = 0.0108? Choose the correct answer below. A. The event that a consumer is comfortable with drones is not mutually exclusive with the event that a consumer is not comfortable with drones. B. The probability of the second consumer being comfortable with drones cannot be treated as being independent of the probability of the first consumer being comfortable with drones. O C. There are other arrangements consisting of three consumers who are comfortable and three who are not. The probabilities corresponding to those other…

Based on long experience, an airline found that about 8% of the people making reservations on a flight from Miami to Denver do not show up for the flight. Suppose the airline overbooks this flight by selling 265 ticket reservations for an airplane with only 255 seats. (a) What is the probability that a person holding a reservation will show up for the flight? (b) Let n = 265 represent the number of ticket reservations. Let r represent the number of people with reservations who show up for the flight. What expression represents the probability that a seat will be available for everyone who shows up holding a reservation? Select one of the options: P(r ≤ 255) P(r ≥ 255) P(r ≤ 265) P(r ≥ 265) (c) Use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution and part (b) to answer the following question: What is the probability that a seat will be available for every person who shows up holding a reservation?
