Case: Paul failed to study for the next stat exam. Paul’s exam strategy is to rely on luck for the next quiz. The exam consists of 10 true/false questions. The first three questions are related to each other. Calculate the probability that Paul gets no answers correct.

Case: Katie is taking an exam which consists of 10 true/false questions. Given her excellent performance in the past, the chance of getting the first five questions are 90%, but the others are 70%. All the questions are not related to each other. Calculate the probability that Katie gets no answers correct.

Although there are two different probabilities, which doesn’t look feasible, but we can apply two different binomial distributions for first five and the rest.

Case: James failed to study for the next stat exam. James’ exam strategy is to rely on luck for the next quiz. The quiz consists of 10 multiple-choice questions. Each question has five possible answers, only one of which is correct. All the questions are not related to each other. James plans to guess the answer to each question. Calculate the probability that James gets no answers correct.

Case: A supermarket sells eggs in packets of six. Their transport system from the farm to the shop is not very good, so some of the eggs get damaged on the way. If an egg gets damaged with probability p. Calculate the probability that only two eggs are damaged in a packet.

Case: A business owner decides to use a binomial distribution to solve one of his problems. He knows there is a 60 percent probability that he will sell one of his Red Oak floors to any customer who comes into his shop and views the wood. Out of the next 7 people who come into his shop, what is the probability that 3 people will buy a Red Oak floor? 

Which probability distribution has the same mode and mean?

Which of the following characterizes a continuous random variable for which all outcomes between some minimum and maximum value are equally likely?

Any normally distributed values can be standardized with z-scores. 

A shipment of grapefruit arrived containing the following proportions of types: 10% pink seedless, 20% white seedless, 30% pink with seeds, and 40% white with seeds.

A grapefruit is selected at random from the shipment. Find the probability of these events:

➢ It is seedless.

➢ It is white.

➢ It is pink and seedless.

➢ It is pink or seedless.

➢ It is pink, given that it is seedless.

➢ It is seedless, given that it is pink

• Box 1 contains two red balls and three green balls, and Box 2 contains four red balls and one green ball.

• One ball is randomly selected from Box 1 and placed in Box 2.

• Then one ball is randomly selected from Box 2. ➢ What is the probability that the ball selected from Box 2 is green?

• Professor French forgets to set his alarm with a probability of 0.3.

• If he sets the alarm, it rings with a probability of 0.8.
