In a study on the effectiveness of different flu vaccines, four vaccines were tested with the following probabilities of preventing the flu:
Is this a probability distribution, and if so, what are its mean and standard deviation?
During a particular month, a hospital recorded a total of births. Assuming that births occur randomly and independently at a constant average rate, use the Poisson distribution to determine the probability that on a randomly selected day, exactly births occur. Assume that month is equal to days.
The graph shows the weights (in kilograms) of different fish caught during a fishing competition. Is the variable in the graph discrete or continuous? Explain your reasoning.
Based on a recent technology survey, of smartphone users enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security. For each of the following, assume that smartphone users are randomly selected. What is the probability that exactly of the selected users have enabled two-factor authentication?
A consumer study found that of shoppers prefer buying organic groceries. Suppose shoppers are randomly selected. What is the probability that at least one of the selected shoppers prefers organic groceries?
A factory machine produces light bulbs with a success rate. If a quality inspector checks bulbs, what is the probability that
(a) all bulbs are not defective?
(b) at most bulbs are not defective?
(c) more than bulbs are not defective?
A feeder gets on average 3.6 bird landings per hour. What is the probability exactly 3 birds land in one hour? Compute using the Poisson formula.
A traffic sensor records car arrivals every minute during the weekday morning rush hour. The arrival rate is much higher between 7:30–9:00 than at other times. Which Poisson condition is most likely violated if you try to model the entire 7:00–10:00 period as a single Poisson process, and what practical remedy should you apply?
On a TI-84, when using PoissonPDF(lambda, x) to compute P(X = x) for a Poisson distribution, what do the two inputs lambda and x represent?
A design team has engineers and designers. Two team members are chosen at random for a site visit. What is the probability that the pair contains one engineer and one designer?
Four cards are drawn at random without replacement from a standard -card deck. What is the probability that all four cards are from the same suit?
A classroom has students, of whom are left-handed. Four students are chosen at random without replacement, and the number of left-handed students among the chosen four is recorded. Is this a binomial experiment? Select the best answer.
