Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease caused by a mutation on the X chromosome. Duringreproduction this mutation arises spontaneously on each of the X chromosomes of theparents, independently and with probability μ = 0.681. We can therefore view theproduction of a child as consisting of two probabilistic experiments. First, one of the two sexchromosomes is chosen with equal probability from each parent. Second, for each Xchromosome that is chosen, the muscular dystrophy mutation arises independently withprobability μ. All male children carrying the mutation will develop muscular dystrophy,whereas only females whose X chromosomes both carry the mutation will develop thedisease. What is the probability that a child will develop the disease? Round your answer tofive decimal places.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an electronic scanning technology that can be used to identify items in a number of ways. One advantage of RFID is that it can eliminate the need to manually count inventory, which can help improve inventory management. The technology is not infallible, however, and sometimes errors occur when items are scanned. The probability that a scanning error occurs is 0.0069. 1. Find the probability that the number of items scanned incorrectly is between 16 and 20 , inclusive, from the next 5100 items scanned. *Kindly explain the procedure in Excel for this* A) The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) 2. Find the expected number of items incorrectly from the next 5100 items B) The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
