High school students in Michigan sometimes get "snow days" in the winter when the roads are so bad that school is canceled for the day. Define the random variableX = the number of snow days at a certain high school in Michigan for a randomly selected school year. Suppose the table below gives the probability distribution of X. 1. Value x, 1. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Probability p, ? 0.19 0.14 0.10 0.07 0.05 0.04 0.04 0.02 0.01 0.01 (a) Write the event “the school year has O snow days" in terms of X. Then find its probability. (b) At this high school, if more than 5 snow days are used over the course of the year, students are required to make up the time at the end of the school year. What's the probability that a randomly selected school year will require make-up days?
Company F sells fabrics known as fat quarters, which are rectangles of fabric created by cutting a yard of fabric into four pieces. Occasionally the manufacturing process results in a fabric defect. Let the random variable X represent the number of defects on a fat quarter created by Company F. The following table shows the probability distribution of X. X 0 1 2 3 4 or more Probability 0.58 0.23 0.11 0.05 0.03 If a fat quarter has more than 2 defects, it cannot be sold and is discarded. Let the random variable Y represent the number of defects on a fat quarter that can be sold by Company F. (a) Construct the probability distribution of the random variable Y. (b) Determine the mean and standard deviation of Y. Show your work. Company G also sells fat quarters.
