SITUATION 5 (a) In testing a certain kind of truck tire over a rugged terrain, it is found out that 25% of the trucks fail to complete the test without a blowout. Suppose that 15 trucks are tested. (a.1) What is the probability that exactly 5 trucks have blowouts? (a.2) What is the probability that fewer than 5 trucks have blowout? (a.3) Determine the average number of blowouts that may be encountered during the said test. (b) A certain area of the Philippines is, on average, hit by 10 typhoons per year. (b.1) Find the probability that for a given year, fewer that 7 typhoons will pass the area. (b.2) Find the probability that for a given year, anywhere between 8 and 11 typhoons will pass the area.
