A notebook computer dealer mounts a new promotional campaign. Purchasers of new computers may, if dissatisfied for any reason, return them within 2 days of
purchase and receive a full refund. The cost to the dealer of such a refund is $75. The dealer estimates that 14% of all purchasers will, indeed, return computers and
obtain refunds. Suppose that 60 computers are purchased during the campaign period. Complete parts a. and b. below.
a. Find the mean and the standard deviation of the number of these computers that will be returned for refunds.
A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and test 15 tablets, then accept the whole
batch if there is only one or none that doesn't meet the required specifications. If a particular shipment of thousands of aspirin tablets actually has a 5% rate of defects,
what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted?
The probability that this whole shipment will be accepted is
