Exercise 5.4 A lot of 75 washers contains 5 defectives whose variability in thickness is unacceptably large. A sample of 10 washers is selected at random without replacement. 1. Determine the probability mass function of the number of defective washers (X) in the sample. 2. Find the probability that at least one unacceptable washer is in the sample. 3. Calculate the mean and variance of X.

When do creative people get their good ideas? USA Today did a survey of 966 inventors (who hold U.S. patents) and obtained the following information. Assuming that the time interval includes the left limit and all the times up to but not including the right limit, the probability that an inventor has a good idea during each time interval is the following: P(6 A.M.-noon) = 290/966, P(noon-6 P.M.) = 135/966, P(6 P.M.-midnight) = 319/966, P(midnight-6 A.M) = 222/966. State whether the following statement is true or false.All the outcomes are not equally likely.
