A coin with radius = 1 in is tossed inside a board with floor dimensions of 10 in x12 in. Assume that the coin will land flat and that its landing location will be equally likely among all physically possible positions on the board meaning the coin will always be on the board. What is the probability that the coin's distance from the nearest boundary will be less than 1 in?
Compute the probability that a Random Walk ever returns to the origin and the expected time to the first return.
A random point is chosen inside a triangle with height h and base lenght b. what is the expected value of the perpendicular distance of the point to the base?
According to some law in genetics, when certain types of peas are crossed, the probability that the plant yields a yellow pea is 0.75 and that it yields a green pea is 0.25. For a plant yielding 90 peas, find the approximate probability that at most 64 peas are yellow. Use the normal approximation with continuity correction.
A jury of 12 people is selected at random from a group of 16 men and 18 women. What is the probability that the jury contains exactly 7 women? Suppose that the jury is selected at random from a group of 1600 men and 1800 women. Use the binomial approximation to the hypergeometric distribution to calculate the probability that in this case the jury contains exactly 7 women
Suppose that we want to estimate the true rate, r, of covid-positive people in a population (where they are reluctant to disclose their status). We use the two-coin-toss methods, and those who toss two heads will lie about their status, reporting the opposite status. After flipping their coins, 32% of the people report that they are covid-positive. What is our estimate for the rate, r, of covid-positive people in this population?
A manufacturer produces boxes of candy, each containing 10 pieces. Two machines are used for this purpose. After a large batch has been produced, it is discovered that one of the machines, which produces 40% of the total output, has a fault that has led to the introduction of an impurity into 10% of the pieces of candy it makes. The other machine produced no defective pieces. From a single box of candy, one piece is selected at random and tested. If that piece contains no impurity, what is the probability that the faulty machine produced the box from which it came?
A forest consists of two types of trees; young (between 0 and 3 m tall) and adults (more than 3 m). Each year, 20% of young trees die, 10% sell for $20 each, 30% remain between 0 and 3 m, and 40% grow taller than 3 m. Each year, 40% of adult trees sell for $50, 20% sell for $20, 30% remain in the forest, and 10% die. If it costs $5 to plant a tree, what is the expected profit for each tree planted?

A landscaper mows 25 lawns per day on sunny days, 15 lawns per day on cloudy days, and no lawns if it rains. If the weather is sunny 65% of the time, cloudy 30% of the time and rains 5% of the time, find the expected number of lawns that the landscaper mows per day.
