Each sample of water has a 10% chance of containing a particular organic pollutant. Assume that the samples are independent with regard to the presence of the pollutant. Find the probability that in the next 15 samples:(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)Exactly 2 contain the pollutant.At least three samples contain the pollutant.Determine the probability that the number of pollutants is between 1 and 3, inclusive.Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the probability distribution function.

You are the manager of a manufacturing plant and you are responsible for quality control. Each day, a random sample of 10 items is selected from the production line and tested by a quality control technician. A item can be in good condition or defective, and the probability that an item is defective is 0.05. You know by experience that the technician records the result of the test on an item correctly 80% of the time. Let X be the number of items that were recorded as defective by the technician (in the sample of 10 tested items). (a) Find the probability P(X= 1). (b) If the technician recorded one defective item in the sample, what is the conditional probability that there was no defective item in the sample?
A person died prematurely, find the probability with which he could have been a heavy smoker given the following data: Off all people: 50% of people don't smoke, 20% are light smokers & 30% are heavy smokers. Heavy smokers are twice as likely to die prematurely as light smokers, light (6 marks) smokers are twice as likely to die prematurely as nonsmokers.
A professional basketball player is a poor free-throw shooter. Consider situations in which he shoots a pair of free throws. The probability that he makes the first free throw is 0.51. Given that he makes the first, suppose the probability that he makes the second is 0.59. Given that he misses the first, suppose the probability that he makes the second one is 0.36. What is the probability that he makes one of the two free throws?
