A company produces rechargeable batteries for small size string trimmers. We define the life of the battery as the time between starting the string trimmer until the trimmer stops due to battery failure. It is known that the life of such batteries follows the normal distribution with mean 29.5 minutes and deviation of 1.52 minutes. 8.

Mark is a mechanic who is specialized in performing service on Honda cars. His clients have to make an appointment at least one week ahead but sometimes there are last minute cancellations. All of Mark’s income comes from these services and he works from Monday to Friday. Let R be the number of cars on which Mark performs service in a randomly selected day. The probability distribution of the random
variable R is given in the probability table below.
