Faked numbers in tax returns, invoices, or expense account claims often display patterns that aren't present in legitimate records. Some patterns, like too many round numbers, are obvious and easily avoided by a clever crook. Others are more subtle. It is a striking fact that the first digits of numbers in legitimate records often follow a model known as Benford's law. Call the first digit of a randomly chosen legitimate record X for short. The probability distribution for X is shown here (note that a first digit cannot be 0). First digit x; Probability Pi 1 0.301 2 0.176 3 4 0.125 0.097 What is the expected value of X?

Chuck works at the BuyMore where people can bring in broken computers. When a customer enters the store there is a good chance he will not be paid anything from helping them. But sometimes there is a chance he will be paid to work on their computer. The probability of each amount from a random customer is given in the following table: Job payment $13 $90 $300 $1,400 Probaiblity 0.39 0.1 0.06 0.01 When the next person walks into the BuyMore, how much money can Chuck expect to get from them on average?Answer to two decimals What is the probability he will get less than $160 from a random customer?Answer to four decimals What is the standard deviation for the payments from the customers?Answer to two decimals What is the median job payment amount?Answer to two decimals
At a particular college 19 percent of the students major in business. All business majors are required to take a statistics course. Of the students not majoring in business, 31 percent of them still have to take a statistics course. What is the probability that a student has to take a statistics course at this particular college? Type your answer as a decimal to 4 decimal places.
