Harley Davidson, director of quality control for the Kyoto Motor company, is conducting his monthly spot check of automatic transmissions. In this procedure, 10 transmissions are removed from the pool of components and are checked for manufacturing defects. Historically, only 2 percent of the transmissions have such flaws. (Assume that flaws occur independently in different transmissions.) What is the probability that of the selected transmissions has at the most two manufacturing flaws?

A study showed that in 1990, 47% of all those involved in a fatal car crash wore seat belts. Of those in a fatal crash who wore seat belts, 46% were injured and 26% were killed. For those not wearing seat belts, the comparable figures were 43% and 51%, respectively. Find the probability that a randomly selected person who was unharmed in a fatal crash was not wearing a seat belt.
The Business School at State University currently has three parking lots, each containing 155 spaces. Two hundred faculty members have been assigned to each lot. On a peak day, an average of 70% of all lot 1 parking sticker holders show up, an average of 72% of all lot 2 parking sticker holders show up, and an average of 74% of all lot 3 parking sticker holders show up. a. Given the current situation, estimate the probability that on a peak day, at least one faculty member with a sticker will be unable to find a spot. Assume that the number who show up at each lot is independent of the number who show up at the other two lots. Compare two situations: (1) each person can park only in the lot assigned to him or her, and (2) each person can park in any of the lots (pooling). (Hint: Use the RISKBINOMIAL function.) If needed, round your answer to a whole percentage and if your answer is zero, enter "0". No pooling: Pooling: 51.4 % 83.8 % b. Now suppose the numbers of people who show up at…
