Question
A company is in the business of finding addresses of long-lost friends. The company claims to have a 77% success rate. Suppose that you have the names of five friends for whom you have no addresses and decide to use the company to track them.
(a) Find the mean and standard deviation of this probability distribution. What is the expected number of friends for whom addresses will be found? (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
(b) What is the smallest number of names would you have to submit to be at least 96% sure that at least two addresses will be found? (Enter your answer as a whole number.)
names
? = friends |
? = friends |
(b) What is the smallest number of names would you have to submit to be at least 96% sure that at least two addresses will be found? (Enter your answer as a whole number.)
names
Expert Solution

Step 1
Given that the success rate of finding addresses is 77%
Therefore, p = The probability of success = 0.77
q = probability of failure = 1 - p = 1 - 0.77 = 0.23

Suppose George sets his iPod to "shuffle," so that it selects songs randomly (assume the shuffle function permits repetition of songs). During a long drive, George plays 50 randomly selected songs. Calculate the probability that more than 30% of the 50 randomly selected songs are Beatles songs.

- A professor knows that her statistics students' final exam scores have a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 12.2. In her class, an "A" is any exam score of 90 or higher. This quarter she has 25 students in her class. What is the probability that 7 students or more will score an "A" on the final exam?Hint: You will need to use your knowledge of normal probability distributions to determine the probability of one individual getting an A and then use your knowledge of binomial distributions to determine the probability of 7 students or more out of 25 students getting an A.prob = ____________Report your final answer accurate to 4 decimal places.
