I need help with this:A manufacturer knows that on average 20% of toasters produced require repairs within 1 year after they are sold. When 18 toasters are randomly selected, find the smallest number x and largest number y such that (a) the probability that at least x of them will require repairs is less than 0.58; (b) the probability that at least y of them will not require repairs is greater than 0.84.

It is required to find the values of the quantities x and y, using the given information.

A manufacturer knows that on average 20% of toasters produced require repairs within 1 year after they are sold. When 18 toasters are randomly selected, find the smallest number x and largest number y such that (a) the probability that at least x of them will require repairs is less than 0.58; (b) the probability that at least y of them will not require repairs is greater than 0.84.

A believer in the "random walk" theory of stock markets thinks the value of an index of stock prices has a 0.6 probability of rising in any year. The change in the value of the index in any given year is not affected by whether it rose or fell in earlier years. You plan to record the value for the index in each of the next eight years. Let the random variable, X, represent the number of years (out of the next 8 years) in which the value of the index rises. a) If X is distributed according to the binomial probability distribution, what are the values for n and p?o b) What are the possible values X can take, or equal? QMETH 201, Homework 3 c) Calculate the probability X = 30 d) Calculate the expected value for X. e) Calculate the standard deviation for X. 4

2. All of Dave's customers are neighbors that have yards of about the same size. Dave charges a flat rate of $32 for mowing and trimming and $20 for just mowing. Based on experience, he determines that the probability that a randomly selected customer wants him to mow and trim the lawn is 0.85; the rest of his customers just want him to mow. Let C= the amount Jacob charges a randomly selected customer. (a) Make a table that shows the probability distribution of C. (b) Calculate and interpret the mean of C. (c) Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of C. opp

The percentage of people in the population who have a certain disease is 22%. There is a test for the disease that is fairly accurate. Of the people who have the disease who take the test, it reports that 6% of them do not have the disease. Of the people who do not have the disease who take the test, it reports that 6% of them have the disease. Suppose that a person takes the test and it reports that they have the disease. Compute the probability that the person does not have the disease. Round your answer to two decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) 0 X Ś
