An MBA graduate is applying for nine jobs, and believes that she has in each of the nine cases a constant and independent 0.48 probability of getting an offer. a. What is the probability that she will have at least three offers? b. If she wants to be 95% confident of having at least three offers, how many more jobs should she apply for? (Assume each of these additional appli- cations will also have the same probability of success.) c. If there are no more than the original nine jobs that she can apply for, what value of probability of success would give her 95% confidence of at least three offers?

A pharmacist receives a shipment of 20 bottles of a drug and has 4 of the bottles tested. If 4 of the 20 bottles are contaminated, what is the probability that more than 1 of the tested bottles is contaminated? Express your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places.

You purchase a brand new car for $15,000 and insure it. The policy pays 78% of the car's value if there is an issue with the engine or 30% of the car's value if there is an issue with the speaker system. The probability of an issue with the engine is 0.009, and the probability there is an issue with the speaker system is 0.02. The premium for the policy is p. Let X be the insurance company's net gain from this policy. (a) Create a probability distribution for X, using p to represent the premium on the policy. Enter the possible values of X in ascending order from left to right. P(X) (b) Compute the minimum amount the insurance company will charge for this policy. Round your answer to the nearest cent

On the average the traffic pattern at an intersection is as follows: • Twice as many cars go through as the number of vans, bicycles and trucks combined. • Twice as many vans go through as the number of bicycles and trucks combined. • Half as many trucks go through as the number of bicycles. Calculate the probability that the next vehicle to go through is a truck or a car. (19/27)
A doctor is seeking an anti-depressant for a newly diagnosed patient. Suppose that, of the available anti-depressant drugs, the probability that any particular drug will be effective for a particular patient is p = 0.32. What is the probability that the patient will need toa. take 4 different drugs until the effective one is found. b. take 5 different drugs until the effective one is found. c. take 7 different drugs until the effective one is found.
Q1. Some couples planning a new family would prefer at least one child of each sex. The probability that a couple’s first child is a boy is 0.512. In the absence of technological intervention, the probability that their second child is a boy is independent of the sex of their first child, and so remains 0.512. Imagine that you are helping a new couple with their planning. If the couple plans to have only two children: What is the probability that at least one girl is born?
In order to attract customers, a grocery store started a "SAVE" game. Any person who collects all four letters of the word save gets a prize. A diligent Mrs. Reyes has three letters "s", "a" and "e" keeps going to the store until she gets the 4th letter "v". The probability that she gets the letter "v" on any visit is 0.002 and remains the same from visit to visit. Find the probability that she will not have to visit more than three times. a.0.006 b.0.004 c.0.003 d.0.007
