Let X represent the number of homes a real estate agent sells during a given month. Based on previous sales records, she estimates that P(0)= 0.62, P(1)= 0.21, P(2)= 0.13, P(3)= 0.03, P(4)= 0.01, with negligible probability for higher values of x. Find the long-term average number of homes the real estate agent expects to sell each month.
Q1A Suppose that the probability of finding defectives within a manufactured lot of electrical fuses is 0.09. Assume the probability distribution function (PDF) is binomial. Let X be the number of defectives within the sample. In a sample of 25 fuses, find the probabilities: (a) P(X 2), (b) P(X > 0), (c) P(1 ≤ X < 4). === B Suppose the discrete random variable X has the PDF as in the table below.

Which one of the following statements is True? The Odds against A equals 1 – Odds in favor of A. For a mound shaped distribution if the skew is positive then the mean is greater than the median. P(n, r) = C(n, r) / r! The probability of an event equals the number of favorable outcomes divided by the number of unfavorable outcomes. A Bimodal distribution is symmetric.
