The probability that a certain production process will
produce a defective part is 0.20. If a box contains 12
parts, the probability that it will contain 6 defective
parts is binomial 0.0155
Suppose that airplane engines operate independently in
flight and fail with probability 1/5. Assuming that a
plane makes a safe flight if at least one-half of its
engines run, what is the probability that 4-engine plane
has a successful flight? Binomial 0.9728
A math teacher observes that on the average 3 students
came to their 8-9AM class late. The probability 5
students will be late in their 8-9AM class is 0.1008
A multiple-choice quiz has 15 questions, each with 4
possible answers of which only 1 is the correct answer.
What is the probability that a student gets exactly 8
correct answers? 0.0131
A store owner complains that, on the average, 3 bottles
per case of a certain brand of softdrink are underfilled.
Assuming this is correct, find the probability that a
randomly chosen case of this drink will contain at least
4 underfilled bottles. 0.3528
A coin is tossed 3 times and let X be the number of
heads appearing. The probability that 1 head will
appear is 0.375

In a certain city district, the need for money to buy
drugs is given as the reason for 65% of all thefts. What
is the probability that exactly 2 of the next 4 theft cases
reported in this district resulted from the need for
money to buy drugs? 0.3105
A coin is tossed 4 times, the probability that all heads
and all tails will appear is 0.125

produce a defective part is 0.20. If a box contains 12
parts, the probability that there will be 6 or 7 defective
parts is binomial 0.0155
