Suppose an online shop is selling 10 scientific calculators but the seller is unaware that 2 of these calculators are defective. Suppose you buy 3 scientific calculators from this shop, determine the (a) probability distribution (tabulate) and the (b) cumulative distribution of the random variable X representing the number of the scientific calculators that are defective. and what is the probability that all calculators bought from the shop are functioning properly and what if only 1 calculator is functioning properly

Your favorite soccer player is playing in the world cup and the match has ended in a tie. As the teams get ready for the penalty shootout, you know your favorite player will be last to shoot. A quick search tells you that your favorite player makes a goal when kicking from the penalty mark 0.80% of the time. You also know that the player before your favorite player makes a kick from the penalty mark 0.60% of the time. What is the probability that only one goal is scored between both players? Report your answer to the second decimal point, that is, 0.45 instead of 0.5.
Suppose an unfair coin has a 70% chance of landing on tails and you toss this coin 7 times. What is the probability that the coin comes up tails no more than 4 times?

Imagine an animal that shows two variants; one long-legged and one short-legged. Each female produces 2 female offspring per generation and then dies. The offspring of the long-legged ones survive to adulthood (reproductive age) with a probability of 55% and the offspring of the short-legged ones survive to adulthood with a probability of 45%. If you begin with a population of 60 females of each type, what proportion of individuals will have long legs in 5 generations? (Note that you can ignore males and count only females and their offspring.) Show all work.
Set up a tree diagram labelled with events and probabilities (conditional and final joint probabilities) on all branches to correctly illustrate Problem 5 of the Conditional Probability WebWorks set (each student will have different numbers to work with). Show how to use the tree diagram with the appropriate probabilities to get your solution.
