- Possible values of X, the number of components in a system submitted for repair that must be replaced, are 1, 2, 3, and 4 with corresponding probabilities 0.45, 0.05, 0.45, and 0.05, respectively. (0) Calculate E(X) and then E(5 - X). E(X) - E(5 - X) - 150 (b) Would the repair facility be better off charging a flat fee of $65 or else the amounts (5- X). (Note: It is not generally true that E()- The repair facility Select--- be better off charging a flat fee of s65 because E150 [(5 - x)] -arrow_forwardH = 2 I = 8arrow_forwardTest scores for random samples of students from two different schools were recorded.

- Consider two products, A and B, both of which have the same purchase probability.Product A has a population size of 1000 and a 50 percent awareness probability. ProductB has a population size of 10,000 and a 5 percent awareness probability. Which productdo you expect to sell more?a. Product Ab. Product Bc. They are expected to sell the same amount.arrow_forwardNeed part Darrow_forwardSuppose a person is thinking about entering a MarioKart competition at theirlocal videogame store. The competition costs 20 dollars to enter. The competition consists of 10 matches. The person knows that their chance of winning each match is 65% and that each match is independent of the others. The payout for the competition is: WIN ALL 10 Matches: 500 Dollar Prize WIN 9 Matches: 250 Dollar PrizeWIN 8 Matches: 50 Dollar Prize OTHERWISE: Nothing 1) Suppose that this person enters the competition 5 times.What is the probability they break even?(Hint: To break even they would need to win the $50 prize twice and lose the other three times. Use a modified binomial to calculate this probability.)arrow_forward
