The number of failures for a cytogenics machine from contamination in biological samples is a Poisson random variable with a mean of 0.02 per 90 samples. a. If the lab usually processes 300 samples per day, what is the expected number of failures per day? b. What is the probability that the machine will not fail during a study that includes 700 participants? (Assume one sample per participant.)

When dragons on planet Pern lay eggs, the eggs are either green or yellow. The biologists have observed over the years that 29% of the eggs are yellow, and the rest green. Next spring the lead scientist has permission to randomly select 52 of the dragon eggs to incubate. Consider all the possible samples of 52 dragon eggs.What is the mean number of yellow eggs in samples of 52 eggs? (that is the same as asking for the expected value of the number of yellow eggs) (Give answer correct to at least one decimal place.) mean = What is the standard deviation in the number of yellow eggs in samples of size 52? (Give answer correct to at least one decimal place.) standard deviation = What is the variance in the number of yellow eggs in samples of size 52? (Remember to calculate the answer using at least 5 decimal places, then give answer correct to at least one decimal place.) variance =
