b. If λ=8.0, find P(X=1).
c. If λ=0.5, find P(X=2).
d. If λ=3.7, find P(X=10).

a. Compute the expected number of arrivals per minute.
6) A recent survey reported that 58% of 18- to 29-year-olds in a certain country own tablets. Using the binomialdistribution,
a. What is the probability that in the next six 18- to 29-year-olds surveyed, four will own a tablet?
7) Suppose that you and two friends go to a restaurant, which last month filled approximately 81 % of the orders correctly.
a. What is the probability that all three orders will be filled correctly?
8) A toll-free phone number is available from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. for your customers to register complaints about a product purchased from your company. Past history indicates that an average of 1.0 calls are received per minute.
What properties must be true about the situation described here in order to use the Poisson distribution to calculate probabilities concerning the number of phone calls received in a 1-minute period?
Select all the assumptions for a Poisson distribution. Multiple Choice, Choices are below (A,B,C, or D)
A.
The number of phone calls received in a given 1-minute period is independent of the number of phone calls received in any other 1-minute period.
B.
At least 30 calls are received.
C.
The probability that two or more phone calls received in a time period approaches zero as the length of the time period becomes smaller.
D.
The probability of a phone call is the same in any given 1-minute period
