And Probabilities

A marketing survey compiled data on the number of personal computers in households. X = the number of computers in a randomly-selected household. If you were to randomly select households, what is the probability it would take exactly 8 selections to find one with 5 computers?

• Approximately 0

• 0.02

• 0.03

• 0.32

• Approximately 1

Seventeen people have been exposed to a particular disease. Each one independently has a 40% chance of contracting the disease. A hospital has the capacity to handle 10 cases of the disease. What is the probability that the hospital’s capacity will be exceeded?

• 0.011

• 0.965

• 0.035

• 0.989

In which of the following situations would it be appropriate to use a Normal distribution to approximate probabilities for a binomial distribution with the given values of n and p?

• n = 10, p = 0.5

• n = 40, p = 0.88

• n = 100, p = 0.2

• n = 100, p = 0.99

• n = 1000, p = 0.003

The weight of tomatoes chosen at random from a bin at the farmer’s market follows a Normal distribution with mean = 10 ounces and standard deviation  = 1 ounce. Suppose we pick four tomatoes at random from the bin and find their total weight T. The random variable T is

• Normal, with mean 10 ounces and standard deviation 1 ounce.

• Normal, with mean 40 ounces and standard deviation 2 ounces

• Normal, with mean 40 ounces and standard deviation 4 ounces

• binomial, with mean 40 ounces and standard deviation 2 ounces

• binomial, with mean 40 ounces and standard deviation 4 ounces.
