In an orchard, harvested apples are randomly distributed in packets, each containing 7 fruits. The orchard had a total of 25 apples collected, and 10 fruits were considered of excellent quality. Let X be the number of optimal apples allocated to first package, which of the probability distributions would be adequate to describe the random variable X? (a) Geometric(7/25) (b) Binomial(7, 3/25) (c) Poisson(3) (d) Geometric(3/25) (e) Hypergeometric (25,10,7)

A business calculates that 60% of its suppliers are UK-based. Every month it randomly selects 8 of its suppliers and checks their compliance with money-laundering legislation. It defines the random variable X to represent how many of the 8 selected supplie are UK-based. This scenario is modelled with a Binomial distribution denoted X- Bin(n, p). (a) State the value of n (b) State the value of p, writing your answer as a decimal to 1 decimal place. (c) How many combinations of 5 UK-based suppliers are possible within the set of 8 suppliers selected for the compliance checks? (d) Calculate the probability that there are exactly 5 UK-based suppliers within the set of 8 suppliers selected for the compliance checks. Answer to 2 decimal places.

A factory received a shipment of 15 capacitors, and the vendor who sold the items knows there are 8 capacitors in the shipment that are defective and 7 are not defective. Before the receiving foreman accepts the delivery, he samples the shipment, and if too many of the capacitors in the sample are defective, he will refuse the shipment. Give answer as a decimal to four decimal places.(a) If a sample of 6 capacitors is selected, find the probability that all in the sample are defective. (b) If a sample of 6 capacitors is selected, find the probability that 4 in the sample are defective. (c) If a sample of 3 capacitors is selected, find the probability that 1 in the sample are defective.

In a lot of six batteries, one is worn out. A technician tests the batteries one at a time until the worn out battery is found. Tested batteries are put aside, but after every third test the tester takes a break and another worker, unaware of the test, returns one of the tested batteries to the set of batteries not yet tested. (a) Find the probability distribution for X, the number of tests required to identify the worn out battery. (b) Assume the first test of each set of three tests costs $5, and that each of the next two tests in each set of three tests costs $2. Find the increase in the expected cost of locating the worn out battery due to the unaware worker.
A salesperson makes four calls per day. A sample of 100 days gives the following frequencies of sales volumes. Number of Sales f(x) = X 0 1 2 0 3 1 4 2 3 4 Total Records show sales are made to 30% of all sales calls. Assuming independent sales calls, the number of sales per day should follow a binomial probability distribution. The binomial probability function presented in Chapter 5 is n! x!(n - x)! For this exercise, assume that the population has a binomial probability distribution with n = 4, p = 0.30, and x = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. (a) Compute the expected frequencies for x = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 by using the binomial probability function. Expected Frequencies 0.2401 0.2646 Observed Frequency 0.0708 (days) p*(1-P)^-x.

The finish of a hole depends on the edge of the bit used, only 1% of the holes with a new drill have an irregular cut, 3% have an irregular cut with average bits and 5% present irregular cut with worn bits. If 25% of the holes are made with new bits, 60% have average edges and 15% are worn out. [use 3 decimal places] a) If a piece is taken at random, what is the probability of having holes irregular? b) If a piece with irregular holes is taken, what is the probability that would have been made with an average drill bit?

What is the probability that three Poisson random independent variables A,B, C, with parameters 1, 1, 9, respectively are all equal? The answer needs to be expressed as an infinite sum of exponentials and factorials.
Of the students in the college, 60% of the students reside in the hostel and 40% of the students are day scholars. Previous year result reports that 30% of all students who stay in the hostel scored A Grade and 20% of day scholars scored A grade. At the end of the year, one student is chosen at random and found that he/she has an A grade. What is the probability that the student is a hostlier?
