Chapter 4.4, Problem 37E
A joint survey by Parade magazine and Yahoo! found that 59% of American workers say that if they could do it all over again, they would choose a different career (USA Today, September 24, 2012). The survey also found that 33% of American workers say they plan to retire early and 67% say they plan to wait and retire at age 65 or older. Assume that the following joint 
- What is the probability a worker would select the same career?
- What is the probability a worker who would select the same career plans to retire early?
- What is the probability a worker who would select a different career plans to retire early?
- What do the conditional probabilities in parts (b) and (c) suggest about the reasons workers say they would select the same career?

The annual aggregate claim amount of an insurer follows a compound Poisson distribution with
parameter 1,000. Individual claim amounts follow a Gamma distribution with shape parameter
a = 750 and rate parameter λ = 0.25.
1. Generate 20,000 simulated aggregate claim values for the insurer, using a random
number generator seed of 955.Display the first five simulated claim values in your
answer script using the R function head().
2. Plot the empirical density function of the simulated aggregate claim values from
Question 1, setting the x-axis range from 2,600,000 to 3,300,000 and the y-axis range
from 0 to 0.0000045.
3. Suggest a suitable distribution, including its parameters, that approximates the
simulated aggregate claim values from Question 1.
4. Generate 20,000 values from your suggested distribution in Question 3 using a random
number generator seed of 955. Use the R function head() to display the first five

Quality Control: A factory produces light bulbs with a 2% defect rate. If a random sample of 20 bulbs is tested, what is the probability that exactly 2 bulbs are defective? (hint: p=2% or 0.02; x =2, n=20; use the same logic for the following problems)
Marketing Campaign: A marketing company sends out 1,000 promotional emails. The probability of any email being opened is 0.15. What is the probability that exactly 150 emails will be opened? (hint: total emails or n=1000, x =150)
Customer Satisfaction: A survey shows that 70% of customers are satisfied with a new product. Out of 10 randomly selected customers, what is the probability that at least 8 are satisfied? (hint: One of the keyword in this question is “at least 8”, it is not “exactly 8”, the correct formula for this should be = 1- (binom.dist(7, 10, 0.7, TRUE)).
