Find the probabilities using either geometric distribution, the Poisson distribution or the binomial distribution. A football player completes a pass 65.3% of the time. Find the probability that (a) the first pass he completes is the second pass, (b) the first pass he completes is the first or second pass, and (c) he does not complete his first two passes

graduate believes she has a 60% chance of getting a particular job at an Ivy League school. Historically, 75% of the candidates who got a similar job had two interviews; 45% of the unsuccessful candidates had two interviews. Apply Bayes’ Theorem to calculate the probability that this candidate will be hired, assuming she had two interviews
Poisson distribution. You want to determine the probabilities that a specific number of patients will arrive at the emergency room in a one-minute interval during the afternoon. There could be zero patients arrived, one patient, two patients, and so on. If the mean of arrivals per minute is 4, a) Find the probability of exactly three arrivals in the next minute. b) Find the probability of two or fewer patient arrivals per minute at the emergency.

Find the indicated probabilities using the geometric distribution, the Poisson distribution, or the binomial distribution. Then determine if the events are unusual. If convenient, use the appropriate probability table or technology to find the probabilities. A football player completes a pass 69.1% of the time. Find the probability that (a) the first pass he completes is the second pass, (b) the first pass he completes is the first or second pass, and (c) he does not complete his first two passes.

Each day, John's mother gives him money before he goes to school: 50% of the time he gets $5, 35% of the time he gets $10 and the rest of the time he gets $20. Determine the expectation and variance for how much money John gets each day. For the next 100 school days, John plans to save all the money his mother gives him. What is the approximate probability he is able to save more than $1000? Assume independence. If he realizes he has to spend an average of $4 a day with a standard deviation of $0.75, what is the approximate probability that he saves less than $400? Assume independence.
