A NUMMI assembly line, which has been operating since 1984, builds 900 cars and trucks in a week. Generally, 10% of those cars are defective coming off the assembly line.
What type of distribution does the event of having defective cars follow? What are the mean and standard deviation of this random event? (6 points)
Can we apply the normal distribution to study this event? Check the conditions and answer the question. (6 points)
Find the probability that the assembly line produces at least 825 cars, that are not defective and functional, in a week. Graph the situation, shade in the area to be determined, and find the probability. (6 points)

- A company that manufactures and sells T-shirts for sporting events, is providing shirts for an upcoming tournament. Each shirt will cost $7 to produce and will be sold for $13. Any unsold shirts at the end of the tournament can be sold for $5 apiece in the near future. The company assumes the demand for the shirts will be 1,500,3,000,4,500, or 6,000. The company also estimates that the probabilities of each of these sales levels occurring will be 20%, 25%,25%, and 30%, respectively.
