Calls arrive at a switchboard as a Poisson process with rate λ = 4 per minute. Find the probabilities that, with respect to any fixed origin in time, the twelfth subsequent call arrives: (a) before two minutes have elapsed [hint: consider the distribution of the number of calls arriving in these two minutes], (b) after three minutes and before five minutes have elapsed.

The probability that a student graduating from a university has student loans to pay off is 0.60. The probability that a student graduating from this university has student loans to pay off and is a male is 0.24. Find the conditional probability that a randomly selected student from this university is a male given that this student has student loans to pay off after graduation.
Sixty percent of US mothers with school-age children choose fast food as a dining option for their families one to three times a week. You randomly select 5 US mothers with school age children and ask them whether they choose fast food as a dining option for their families 1 to 3 times a week the random value represents the number of mothers who choose fast food 1 to 3 times a week. Find the probability that two mothers in your sample choose fast food 1 to 3 times a week. Find the probability that more than 2 mothers choose fast food once to 3 times a week. What is the standard deviation?
A rare type of HPV virus affects 1% of the population in a state. A new test is designed to detect the virus before an outward manifestation. If given to an infected person the test shows positive result 97% of the time. If given to an uninfected person the test shows positive (false) result 2% of the time. (Use a probability tree) If the test is given to a randomly chosen person in the population and gives a positive result, what is the probability that the person is actually infected?

Question 11 < After being rejected for employment, Kim Kelly learns that the Bellevue Credit Company has hired only two women among the last 20 new employees. She also learns that the pool of applicants is very large, with an approximately equal number of qualified men as qualified women. Help her address the charge of gender discrimination by finding the probability of getting two or fewer women when 20 people are hired, assuming that there is no discrimination based on gender. (Report answer accurate to 8 decimal places). P(at most two) = Because this is a serious claim, we will use a stricter cutoff value for unusual events. We will use 0.5% as the cutoff value (1 in 200 chance of happening by chance). With this in mind, does the resulting probability really support such a charge? Oyes, this supports a charge of gender discrimination Ono, this does not support a charge of gender discrimination Question Help: Video Submit Question SC K 54 c #3 3 72 % 25 6
