Question

Transcribed Image Text:A multiple-choice examination consists of 65 questions, each having possible
choices a, b, c, d, and e. Approximate the probability that a student will get
more than 11 answers correct if she randomly guesses at each answer.
(Note that, if she randomly guesses at each answer, then the probability
that she gets any one answer correct is 0.2.) Use the normal approximation
to the binomial with a correction for continuity.

Round your answer to at least three decimal places. Do not round any
intermediate steps.
(If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)

At a certain manufacturing company, approximately 5% of the products are defective. We are interested in calculating the probability that the third defective is the 20th one sampled. 2. An assembly line produces products that they put into boxes of 50. The inspector then randomly picks 3 items inside a box to test to see if they are defective. In a box containing 4 defectives, they are interested in the probability that at least one of the three items sampled is defective. 3. In a capture-recapture experiment, 20 animals were captured, tagged and released. A few weeks later, a sample of 40 of these animals is capture and we are interested in the number of animals in our sample that are tagged. 4. A husband has 7 tasks on his to-do list and a wife has 10 things on her to-do list. Five tasks are randomly picked out of these 17 tasks. We are interest in the expected number of tasks the wife will have to do. 5.
