We know that the expected height of trees in a national park is 25 meters, with a standard deviation of 5 meters. By using Markov's inequality, estimate the upper bound for the probability that a tree is equal to or taller than 60 meters. Please round your result to three decimal places.

We are picking 200 jelly beans out of a huge vat at a factory known to have 25% black jelly beans. Use the normal approximation to the binomial to find the probability that we get 60 or fewer black jelly beans
A local fan club plans to invest 19,429 to host a soccer game. The total revenue from the sale of tickets is expected to worth 70,182. But if it rains on the day of the game, they won't be able to sell any tickets, and the club will lose all the money invested. If the weather forecast for the day of the game is with 15 chance of rain, calculate to see if there is going to be an expected profit or an expected loss. Note: Please avoid rounding numbers in the middle of your calculations.
The time it takes me to wash the dishes is uniformlydistributed between 6 minutes and 16 minutes.What is the probability that washing dishes tonight will take me between 12 and 14 minutes? Give your answer accurate to two decimal places.
In a large high school of 2500 students, 21% of them are seniors. A simple random sample of 150 students is taken and the proportion of seniors is calculated. What are the mean and standard deviation of the sample proportion? Can we use this to calculate probabilities? (That is does it meet the assumptions of the Central Limit Theorem?) What is the probability that the sample will contain less than 15% seniors? Insert the graph from Rguroo that gives the output for this question.
A manufacturer of aspirin claims that the proportion of headache sufferers who get relief with just two aspirins is 63.5%. What is the probability that in a random sample of 440 headache sufferers, no more than 256 obtain relief? Remember to use the continuity correction and calculate z-scores to at least 3 decimal places. Give probabilities to 4 decimal places
From observations of the weather, it is known that on October 20 the probability of rain is 0.85. A certain forecast method for October 20 is correct 0.9 times if rain is predicted and 0.75 times if no rain is predicted. How much information does a real weather forecast provide 20 th of October?
Chains "A" and "B" are made of the same steel. "A" consists of three links and "B" consists of six links, each link having a normal distribution function of the resisting strength with a mean of 60,000 psi and standard deviation of 5,000 psi. Determine which chain is generally weaker (from a probabilistic point of view) by plotting the probability distribution functions of their resisting strengths on the same diagram.

The time to fly between New York City and Chicago is uniformly distributed with a minimum of 56 minutes and a maximum of 100 minutes. What is the probability that a flight is less than 63 minutes?
Benford's Law claims that numbers chosen from very large data files tend to have "1" as the first nonzero digit disproportionately often. In fact, research has shown that if you randomly draw a number from a very large data file, the probability of getting a number with "1" as the leading digit is about 0.301. Suppose you are an auditor for a very large corporation. The revenue report involves millions of numbers in a large computer file. Let us say you took a random sample of n = 250 numerical entries from the file and r = 60 of the entries had a first nonzero digit of 1. Let p represent the population proportion of all numbers in the corporate file that have a first nonzero digit of 1. Test the claim that p is less than 0.301 by using α = 0.01. What does the area of the sampling distribution corresponding to your P-value look like? a. The area in the right tail of the standard normal curve. b. The area not including the right tail of the standard normal curve.…
Customers arrive to a local bakery with an average time between arrivals of5 minutes. However, there is quite a lot of variability in the customers’ arrivals, asone would expect in an unscheduled system. The single bakery server requires anamount of time having the exponential distribution with mean 4.5 minutes to servecustomers (in the order in which they arrive). No customers leave without service.f. Why are the estimated waits in this system so long? Are the assumptions behindthem reasonable? Why or why not?
