5. Emergency patients arrive at a dental surgery at a mean rate of one every 2 hours. Calculate the probability that such a patient arrives within the next 1.5 hours. The surgery manager wants to avoid the arrival of two such patients within one half-hour period. Calculate the probability of this event happening.
Suppose we are interested in the relationship between an individual's brown hair and skin color. Based on a random sample of LIU students, we have the following joint probability distribution given by: X-degree of brown hair color 2 3 4 0.12 0.01 0.05 0.07 0.07 0.12 0.09 0.16 Y- degree of skin color 2 0.12 3 0.16 | 0.03 The probability that an individual with degree of brown hair 2 has a degree of skin color 1 is: None of these 0.263 0.167 0.3

Suppose that births in a hospital occur randomly at an average rate of 1.9 births per hour. Assume that the probability of a birth is the same for any two time intervals of equal length. a. Which distribution can we use in this case? b. What is the probability that we observe at least 3 births in a 2-hour interval?c. Suppose that births occur randomly in hospital A and hospital B at an average rate of 2.1 births and 3 births per hour, respectively. What is the probability that we observe 7 births in total from the two hospitals in a 1-hour period?
