High school seniors with strong academic records apply to the nation’s mostselective colleges in greater numbers each year. Because the number of slotsremains relatively stable, some colleges reject more early applicants. Suppose thatfor a recent admissions class, an Ivy League college received 2851 applications forearly admission. Of this group, it admitted 1033 students early, rejected 854outright, and deferred 964 to the regular admission pool for further consideration.In the past, this school has admitted 18% of the deferred early admission applicantsduring the regular admission process. Counting the students admitted early andthe students admitted during the regular admission process, the total class sizewas 2375. Let ?, ?, and ? represent the events that a student who applies for earlyadmission is admitted early, rejected outright, or deferred to the regularadmissions pool.a. Are events E and D mutually exclusive? Find (? ∩ ?)b. Suppose a student applies for early admission. What…
ou are the newly appointed assistant administrator at a local hospital, and your first project is to investigate the quality of the patient meals put out by the food-service department. You conducted a 10-day survey by submitting a simple questionnaire to the 400 patients with each meal, asking that they simply check off that the meal was either satisfactory or unsatisfactory. For simplicity in this problem, assume that the response was 1,000 returned questionnaires from the 1,200 meals each day. The results are as follows: NUMBER OF UNSATISFACTORY MEALS SAMPLE SIZEDecember 1 42 1,000December 2 47 1,000December 3 63 1,000December 4 48 1,000December 5 60 1,000December 6 62 1,000December 7 43 1,000December 8 62 1,000December 9 66 1,000December 10 53 1,000546 10,000 a.

A study was performed concerning medical emergencies on commercial airline flights. A database was constructed based on calls to a medical communications center from 5 domestic and international airlines representing approximately 15% of the global passenger flight volume from January 2005 to December 2007. There were 11,000 in flight medical emergencies (IFM) among 8,000,000 flights during the study period. Assume that there is at most 1 IFM per flight. Suppose a flight attendant works on 3 flights per day for each of 300 days per year. Also, assume that the flight attendant’s total duration of employment is 20 years. What is the approximate probability that he/she encounter at least 5 IFM’s over a 20 year period?

Suppose a company charges a premium of $150 per year for an insurance policy for storm damage to roofs. Actuarial studies show that in case of a storm, the insurance company will pay out an average of $8000 for damage to a composition shingle roof and an average of $12,000 for damage to a shake roof. They also determine that out of every 10,000 policies, there are 7 claims per year made on composition shingle roofs and 11 claims per year made on shake roofs. What is the company’s expected value (i.e., expected profit) per year of a storm insurance policy? What annual profit can the company expect if it issues 1000 such policies? Determine the probability of a composition shingle roof claim out of 10,000 = ______ Determine the probability of a shake roof claim out of 10,000 = ______ How many claims are made out of 10,000? = _______ What is the probability of no claims out of 10,000? = _______ How much does each shingle roof claim cost the company, don’t forget each person pays $150…
In the construction process for solid-state flash memory drives (thumb drives), nearly all drives areconstructed with a large potential amount of storage space, and are sold base on the actual amountof memory that forms correctly during the process (For example, drives that are designed to store 64gb but contain a large number of bad sectors will instead be formated and sold as 32 gb). Consider amanufacturing process where every chip has a 21% of having enough bad sectors to be downgraded,and these errors are random and independent.(a) If we wish to compute the probability thatxnumber of chips out of a production run of sizenaredowngraded, do we have a probability distribution that will work for that? Are the assumptionsfor that met? Explain. (b) Compute the probability that 5 chips out of a production run of 40 are downgraded.

A second-stage smog alert has been called in a certain area of Los Angeles County in which there are 50 industrial firms. An inspector will visit 10 randomly selected firms to check for violations of regulations. a. If 15 of the firms are actually violating at least one regulation, what is the pmf of the number of firms visited by the inspector that are in violation of atleast one regulation? b. If there are 500 firms in the area, of which 150 are in violation, approximate the pmf of part (a) by simpler pmf. c. For X = the number among the 10 visited that are in violation, compute E(X) and V(X) both for the exact pmf and the approximating pmf in part (b).
Two different types of polishing solutions are being evaluated for possible use in a tumble-polish operation for manufacturing interocular lenses used in the human eye following cataract surgery. Three hundred lenses were tumble polished using the first polishing solution, and ofthis number, 253 had no polishing-induced defects. Another 300 lenses were tumble-polishedusing the second polishing solution, and 196 lenses were satisfactory upon completion.(a) Is there any reason to believe that the two polishing solutions differ? Use α = 0.01
