1. 1. The American Journal of Public Health (July 1995) published a study of the relationship between passive smoking and nasal allergies in Japanese female students. The study revealed that 80% of students from heavy-smoking families showed sign of nasal allergies on physical examinations. Consider a sample of 20 Japanese female students exposed daily to heavy smoking. a. What is the probability that fewer than 15 of the students will have nasal allergies? b. What is the probability that more than 10 of the students will have nasal allergies? c. What is the probability that exactly 10 of the students will have a nasal allergy? wal-ni-19dromn riorti sliteib ed

2. Periodically, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) monitors the pricing accuracy of electronic
checkout scanners at stores to ensure consumers are charged the correct price at checkout. A
study of over 100,000 items found that the probability that an item is priced incorrectly by the
scanner is .03. (Price Check II: A Follow-Up Report on the Accuracy of Checkout Scanner
Prices, Dec 16, 1998). Suppose the FTC randomly selects five items at a retail store and checks
the accuracy of the scanner price of each. Let x represent the number of the five items that is
priced incorrectly.
What is the probability that exactly one of the five items is priced incorrectly by the
а.
scanner?
b. What is the probability that at least one of the five items is priced incorrectly by the
scanner?
c. What is the probability that fewer than three of the five is priced incorrectly by the
scanner?
