Q6. 4.1.2 A new battery supposedly with a charge of 1.5 volts actually has a voltage with a uniform distribution. If a box contains 500 batteries, a) What are the expectation and variance of the number of batteries in the box with a voltage less than 1.5 volts? b) Use the binomial distribution to calculate the probability that at least 140 batteries in the box with a voltage less than 1.5 volts. (Use excel if necessary). c) Also, use the Poisson distribution to make an approximate calculation of the probability that at least 140 batteries in the box with a voltage less than 1.5 volts.

A semi-truck can transport a maximum of 14,950 pounds. Suppose that a load of cargo containing 115 boxes needs to be transported via this semi-truck. Research has shown that the weights of boxes for this type of cargo have a distribution that has a population mean weight of 125 pounds and a population standard deviation of 20 pounds. Based on this information, what is the probability that all 115 boxes can be safely loaded into the semi-truck and transported?

Suppose the demand for a company’s product in week 1,2, & 3 are each normally distributed. The means are 50, 45, and 65. The standard deviations are 10,5, and 15. Assume these 3 demands are probabilistically independent. Suppose the company has 180 units in stock, and it will not be receiving any more shipments from its supplier for at least 3 weeks. What is the probability that stock will run out during the 3 week period? How many units should the company have in stock, so that it can be 98% certain of not running out during the 3 week period , assuming it will not receive any more shipments during this period?

1. The distributional pattern of pulmonate slugs inhabiting Libya was studied in the AIUB Journal of Science and Engineering (Aug. 2003). The number of slugs of a certain species found in the survey area was modeled using the negative binomial distribution. Assume that the probability of observing a slug of a certain species (say, Milax rusticus) in the survey area is 0.2. Let Y represent the number of slugs that must be collected in order to obtain a sample of 10 Milax rusticus slugs. a. Give the probability distribution for Y as a formula. b. What is the expected value of Y? Interpret this value.c. Find P(Y = 25).
