Consider writing onto a computer disk and then sending it through a certifier that counts the number of missing pulses. Suppose this number X has a Poisson distribution with parameter ? = 0.2. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) What is the probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse? (b) What is the probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses? (c) If two disks are independently selected, what is the probability that neither contains a missing pulse?

Crime reports from 2019 indicate that 6.2 motor vehicle thefts occur each hour in the United States. Assume that the distribution of thefts per hour can be approximated by the Poisson probability distribution. Calculate the probability that exactly 4 thefts occur in an hour.
Suppose a random variable x is best described by a uniform probability distribution with range 2 to 5. Find the value of a that makes the following probability statements true. Help with the last one
suppose we select an SRS of 1010 adults. If it is believed that 60% of all adults are very satisfied with their lives, what is the probability that at least 610 adults in our sample are very satisfied with their lives?Let X be the number (out of 1010) of adults who are very satisfied with their lives. What distribution should X have? Why?

Suppose the average tread-life of a certain brand of tire is 45,000 miles and that this mileage follows the exponential probability distribution. What is the probability that a randomly selected tire will have a tread-life between 30,000 and 50,000 miles?
You and your friends have a large messaging group on GroupMe. The number of messages that are received in the group follows a Poisson distribution with an average of 30 per hour – call this random variable X. Let T be an exponentially distributed random variable that represents the time between messages received. 1. What is the probability that there are between 26 and 35 messages in the next hour? 2. What is the probability that there are exactly 30 messages in the next two hours? 3. What is the average for the variable, T?
A survey showed that 81% of adults need correction (eyeglasses, contacts, surgery, etc.) for their eyesight. If 20 adults are randomly selected, find the probability that no more than 1 of them need correction for their eyesight. Is 1 a significantly low number of adults requiring eyesight correction? The probability that no more than 1 of the 20 adults require eyesight correction is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Suppose a dresser drawer has blue shirts, yellow shirts, red shirts, and green shirts so that if a shirt is pulled from the drawer at random, each color has an equal chance of being drawn. P(Green) = P(Blue) = P(Red) = P(Yellow) = ¼. Complete parts (a) – (d) to create a probability distribution for the number of yellow shirts if two shirts are pulled from the drawer at random (replacing the shirt after each draw). a. List each possible outcome for the colors of the shirts if two shirts are drawn randomly from the drawer. The teacher said there should be total of 16 outcomes, not 9 or 10. In my original answer, I have 10 outcomes when there should be 16. c.Find the probability of each event (not the probability from each outcome) from part (b). For my first answer, I had the probability of each outcome, and I should have the probability of each event.
A horse race has 11 entries and one person owns 2 of those horses. Assuming that there are no ties, what is the probability that those two horses finish first and second (regardless of order)? The probability that the two horses finish first and second is 0.0182. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
A survey showed that 74% of adults need correction (eyeglasses, contacts, surgery, etc.) for their eyesight.

The probability that no more than 1 of the 18 adults require eyesight correction is (round to three decimal places as needed)
