If the proportion of a brand of television set requiring service during the first year of operation is a random variable having a beta distribution with α = 3 and β = 2, what is the probability that at least 80% of the new models of this brand sold this year will require service during their first year of operation?

In a Binomial Distribution consisting of 4 independent trials, probabilities of 2and 3 successes are 0.35986 and 0.17993 respectively. Find the probability of success.
A psychologist studied the effect of defendants' likeability and nervousness on willingness to convict the defendant. Each participant read a transcrip a trial and watched a brief videotape that supposedly showed the defendant on the witness stand. The actor who played the defendant varied the for possibilities of likeable versus not and nervous versus not. After viewing the tape, participants rated the likelihood that the defendant is innocent (1 = unlikely, 10 = very likely). The data are given in the accompanying data table.

A basketball player is going to do a free throw 100 times at practice. They are interested in the number of goals they make (each throw is either a goal or not). If each free throw attempt is independent with a 90% chance (0.90 probability) of being a goal, then is the total number of free throws that are goals in the 100 attempts following a binomial distribution?
A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and test 47 tablets, then accept the whole batch if there is only one or none that doesn't meet the required specifications. If one shipment of 4000 aspirin tablets actually has a 3 % rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted? Will almost all such shipments be accepted, or will many be rejected?
A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and test 57 tablets, then accept the whole batch if there is only one or none that don't meet the requirements. if one shipment of 6000 aspirin tablets actually has a 3% rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted? Will almost all such shipments be accepted? or will any be rejected?
Exercise 4. A certain species of plant always has either three or five leaves. The number is random, with P(3 leaves) = 0.4 and P(5 leaves) = 0.6. Each plant has a flower which, randomly, is either open or closed, with probabilities P(open) = 0.8 and P(closed) = 0.2. A botanist collects 1000 randomly chosen plants from this species and finds the following distribution of traits: open closed 3 leaves N3,0pen N3,closed 5 leaves N5,0pen N5,closed a) Assuming the two traits are independent, determine the expectations of the counts N3.open; N3,closed, N5,open, in the table. and N5,closed b) Determine an approximate value for the probability P(N3,0open > 340).
A believer in the "random walk" theory of stock markets thinks the value of an index of stock prices has a 0.6 probability of rising in any year. The change in the value of the index in any given year is not affected by whether it rose or fell in earlier years. You plan to record the value for the index in each of the next eight years. Let the random variable, X, represent the number of years (out of the next 8 years) in which the value of the index rises. a) If X is distributed according to the binomial probability distribution, what are the values for n and p?o b) What are the possible values X can take, or equal? QMETH 201, Homework 3 c) Calculate the probability X = 30 d) Calculate the expected value for X. e) Calculate the standard deviation for X. 4
At a toll-booth on-ramp there is a stochastic arrival distribution. Vehicles are counted in 20-second intervals, and vehicle counts are taken in 120 of these time intervals. Based on data collected, no vehicles arrived in 18 of the 120 count intervals. What is the number of the 120 intervals that 3 cars arrived?
Show that any uncorrelated Gaussian random variables are statistically independent.
A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and test 43 tablets, then accept the whole batch if there is only one or none that doesn't meet the required specifications. If one shipment of 4000 aspirin tablets actually has a 3% rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted? Will almost all such shipments be accepted, or will many be rejected? The probability that this whole shipment will be accepted is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Electrical engineers recognize that high neutral current in computer power systems is a potential problem. A survey of computer power system load currents at U.S. sites found that 10% of the sites had high neutral to full-load current ratios (IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications). If a random sample of five computer power systems is selected from a large number of sites in the country, what is the probability that exactly three will have a high neutral to full-current load ratio?
A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and test 51 tablets, then accept the whole batch if there is only one or none that doesn't meet the required specifications. If one shipment of 5000 aspirin tablets actually has a 5% rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted? Will almost all such shipments be accepted, or will many be rejected?
