- (i) Use normal approximation to a Binomial Distribution (X) having n=500 trials and p = 0.025 for finding out: a) P(X>10); (b) P(X<18) (c) P(X>21) (d) P(9<X<14)
(ii) If 1% of an airline’s flight suffers a minor equipment failure in an aircraft, what is the probability that there will be exactly 5 such in the next 1000 such flights?
(iii) During a laboratory experiment, the average number of radioactive particles passing through a counter in 1 millisecond is 2. What is the probability that 5 particles enter the counter in any given millisecond?
(iv) Records show that the probability is 0.000002 that a bike rider will have an accident while driving on the way of university through Biswamil. Using Poisson distribution determine the probability that among 200,000 bike riders driven on the way of university through Biswamil, not more than one will have an accident. ( e-0.4 = 0.67)

- Suppose the number of children in a household has a binomial distribution with parameters n = 15 and p = 55%. Find the probability of a household having: (a) 11 or 13 children (b) 11 or fewer children (C) 11 or more children (d) fewer than 13 children (e) more than 11 children Be sure to give your answers to at least 4 decimal places. 業arrow_forwardTony's Pizza Company finds that 69% of the general population likes pepperoni pizza. I buy pizza for 46 of my intro stats students and it turns out that only 24 of these students like pepperoni pizza. Use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution to estimate the probability of randomly selecting 46 people with 24 or fewer of them liking pepperoni pizza. (a) Find the mean. (b) Find the standard deviation. (c) Find the z-score. (d) Find the probability.arrow_forwardIf the random variable X is normally distributed with a mean equal to .45 and a standard deviation equal to .40, then P(X ≥ .75) is: (a) 0.2266 (b) 0.4525 (c) 0.7734 (d) 0.7500 (e) None of the abovearrow_forward
- In a biomedical research study, it was determined that the survival time, in weeks, of an animal subjected to a certain exposure of gamma radiation has a gamma distribution with α = 5 and β = 10. (a) What is the mean survival time of a randomly selected animal of the type used in the experiment? (b) What is the standard deviation of survival time? (c) What is the probability that an animal survives more than 30 weeks?arrow_forwardA sample of size 26 will be drawn from a population with mean 5 and standard deviation 4.arrow_forwardLet the random variable X denote the length of time (in seconds) required to complete a certain task. Suppose that the completion times are normally distributed with a mean of 216 seconds and a standard deviation of 50 seconds. (i) Find the probability that the time needed to complete the task is between 260 and 290 seconds. (ii) Find the value of k if P(X < k) = 0.025. (iii) A random sample of 25 similar tasks is selected. Find the probability that the mean completion time will be more than 200 seconds.arrow_forward
- Solve for (A) to (D)arrow_forward(a) In a manufacturing process, the diameter of steel rods is distributed normally with a mean value of 5 mm and standard deviation of 0.1 mm. If a rod is selected at random, what is the probability that its diameter will be: (i) less than 4.85 mm; (ii) between 4.9 mm and 5.1 mm? (b) A telephone exchange receives an average of 5 calls per minute. Calculate the probability that, in a given minute, the exchange receives: (i) exactly 5 calls; (ii) 2 calls or fewer.arrow_forward
