Consider a cohort of patients receiving an experimental two-year treatment for a serious disease. Suppose that only 20% of the patients survive to the end of the second year. Assume CFM (constant force of mortality) within each year of treatment. Find the probability that a patient who survives the first four months dies by the end of the 20th month. Round to 4 decimal places.

George is a big fan of music from the 1960s, and 22% of the songs on his iPod are Beatles songs. Suppose George sets his iPod to "shuffle," so that it selects songs randomly (assume the shuffle function permits repetition of songs). During a long drive, George plays 50 randomly selected songs. Calculate the probability that more than 30% of the 50 randomly selected songs are Beatles songs. Round your answer to four decimal places.
An earth-conscious clothing store offers a 15% discount if you bring in a bag full of old clothing to recycle the fabric. The probability that each bag brought in will contain fabric that can actually be recycled is 69%. In a given day, if there are 20 bags of fabric brought in to recycle, calculate the following: Round each answer to 4 decimal places. The probability that at least 9 bags will contain fabric that can be recycled
