Read, understand and solve each item carefully. Show your complete solution on the answer sheet column.

I. Discrete Probability
Direction: (10 points) Put your answers in 4 significant figures (e.g. 1/15 = 0.0667)

Answer
1. 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 0.3105
need for money to buy drugs?
2. A store owner complains that, on the average, 3 bottles per case of a
certain brand of softdrink are underfilled. Assuming this is correct,
0.8423
find the probability that a randomly chosen case of this drink will
contain at most 4 underfilled bottles.
3. On the average, 7 people per hour use an express teller machine
situated inside a commercial complex. What is the probability that,
from 3:00-4:00pm on Friday, exactly 7 people will use the teller 0.1490
machine?
4. The probability that a certain production process will produce a
defective part is 0.20. Find the probability that a lot of 12 parts will 0.0155
contain exactly 6 defectives.
5.
The probability that a patient recovers from a rare blood
disease is 0.40. If 15 people are known to have 0.1906
contracted this disease, what is the probability that at
least 12 survive?

II. Exponential Distribution

Direction: (6 points) Put your answers in 4 significant figures (e.g. 1/15 = 0.0667)

Answer
1. On the average, 10 people per hour use an express teller
machine situated inside a commercial complex. If a
0.5506
person just used an ATM machine, what is the probability
that the next person will use the machine after 8
minutes? _____
2. within 7 minutes? _____ 0.4965
3. c. between 6 to 10 minutes? _____ 0.1809

III. Normal Distribution A.

Direction: (7 points) Put your answers in 4 significant figures (e.g. 1/15 = 0.0667)

Answer
 A.

following probabilities:
1. P ( Z < -1.96 ) = _____ 0.0250
2. P ( Z > 1.23 ) = _____ 0.1093
3. P ( Z > - 0.15 ) = _____ 0.5596
4. P ( -1.34 < Z < 0.00 ) = _____ 0.4099
B.
B. Given a normal distribution with  = 82 and 2=
25, find the probability that X assumes a value
5.
less than 78 = _____ 0.2119

6.
more than 90 = _____ 0.0548

7.
between 75 and 80 = _____ 0.2638

IV. Normal Distribution B

Direction: (7 points) All probabilities should be written in 4 significant figures (e.g. 0.0667)

Answer
A.
The cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the brains of healthy
people is normally distributed with mean of 74 and a
standard deviation of 16. In a sample of 1000 people:
1. What is the proportion of healthy people will have CBF 0.9484
readings below 100?
2. How many healthy people from the sample will have CBF 0.4586
readings between 60 and 80?
B.
Suppose the breathing rates of human adults per minute
is approximately normal with mean of 16 and standard
deviation 0f 4. If a person is selected at random from a
sample of 500 persons.
3.
What is the probability that the breathing rates of the
0.0668
person selected exceed 22?
4. 0.2144
How many persons have breathing rates between 19 and
25?
