Rock concert tickets are sold at a ticket counter. Females and males arrive at times of independent Poisson processes with rates 30 and 20 customers per hour. (a) What is the probability the first three customers are female? (b) If exactly 2 customers arrived in the first five minutes, what is the probability both arrived in the first three minutes. (c) Suppose that customers regardless of sex buy 1 ticket with probability 1/2, two tickets with probability 2/5, and three tickets with probability 1/10. Let Ni be the number of customers that buy i tickets in the first hour. Find the joint distribution of (N1, N2, N3).

In a clinical trial, patients are enrolled into the trial one at a time. Suppose the trial consists of a placebo group and a treatment group, and n = 20 patients are enrolled in total. Each time a patient is enrolled, that patient is assigned to the placebo or treatment with 50% probability. What is the probability that the two groups will each contain 10 patients after everyone is enrolled?
