Sam has 6 rose bushes. He counted the flowers on each of them. There are 8, 2, 5, 4, 11 and 9. Find the Standard Deviation. Is X a “Usual” number of flowers? X is your last two digits of your CUNYFirst ID Number. (00 = 0, 01 = 1, …) (20 points) my id is 25


A company manufactures fuses. The percentage of non-defective fuses is 95.4%. A sample of 9 fuse was selected. Calculate the probability of selecting at least 3 defective fuses.


A company manufactures bulbs. The probability of getting a defective bulb is 0.055. A sample of 100 bulbs were selected. Use Poisson approximation to binomial distribution to find the probability of finding at most 3 non-defective bulbs.

The probability that a life bulb will have a life time of more than 682 hours is 0.9788. The probability that a bulb will have a life time of more than 703 hours is 0.0051. Find the probability that a bulb will last for more than 648 hours.



The mean and variance of defective items is 0.72 and 0.6876. Find the probability of getting 12 non-defective items.

Test for existence of linear relationship at 5% level of significance.




A travel agency receives an average of 150 calls per hour (time between calls are exponentially distributed). It takes an operator an average of 5 minutes to handle a call (exponentially distributed). If a caller gets a busy signal, the travel agency assumes that he or she will call a competitor, and the travel agency will lose an average of $50 in profit. The cost of keeping a phone line open is $12 per hour. How many operators should the travel agency have on duty?


A store donated a lot of 8 computer sets that includes 3 which are malfunctioning or defective. If 4 of this computer sets are chosen at random for delivery to a school.


i) What will be the probability mass function of a random variable 𝑌?
