It is estimated that 75% of a grapefruit crop is good; the other 25% have rotten centers that cannot be detected unless the grapefruit are cut open. The grapefruit are sold in sacks of 11. Let r be the number of good grapefruit in a sack.

(a) Make a histogram of the probability distribution of r.


(b) What is the probability of getting no more than one bad grapefruit in a sack? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)


What is the probability of getting at least one good grapefruit? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)


(c) What is the expected number of good grapefruit in a sack? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)
grapefruit

(d) What is the standard deviation of the r probability distribution? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
grapefruit

Dandelions are studied for their effects on crop production and lawn growth. In one region, the mean number of dandelions per square meter was found to be 3. We are interested in the number of dandelions in this region. (a) Find the probability of no dandelions in a randomly selected area of 1 square meter in this region. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) Find the probability of at least one dandelion in a randomly selected area of...

Do you tailgate the car in front of you? About 25% of all drivers will tailgate before passing, thinking they can make the car in front of them go faster. Suppose that you are driving a considerable distance on a two-lane highway and are passed by 9 vehicles. (a) Let r be the number of vehicles that tailgate before passing. Make a histogram showing the probability distribution of r for r = 0 through r = 9. (b)Compute the expected...

A tidal wave or tsunami is usually the result of an earthquake in the Pacific Rim, often 1000 or more miles from Hawaii. Tsunamis are rare but dangerous. Many tsunamis are small and do little damage. However, a tsunami nine meters or higher is very dangerous. Civil Defense authorities sound an alarm telling people near the beach to go to higher ground. About 30% of all recorded tsunamis have been nine meters or higher.† You are writing a report about...

In the western United States, there are many dry-land wheat farms that depend on winter snow and spring rain to produce good crops. About 65% of the years there is enough moisture to produce a good wheat crop, depending on the region. (a) Let r be a random variable that represents the number of good wheat crops in n = 8 years. Suppose the Zimmer farm has reason to believe that at least 4 out of 8 years will be...

Suppose a project is dependent on whether there is a good economy and whether a competitor enters the market. If there is no competitor, the project will produce $50 million in a good economy and $15 million in a poor economy. If there is a competitor, the project will produce $30 million in a good economy and $10 million in a poor economy. The probability of a good economy is 60%, versus 40% for a poor economy; and the probability...

Question 1 Types of bonds are divided into three categories: good risk, medium risk, and poor risk. Assume that of a total of 14,563 bonds, 6,309 are good risk, 1,496 are medium risk, and the rest are poor risk. One bond is chosen at random. What is the probability that the bond is not a poor risk? Write only a number as your answer. Round to two decimal places (for example: 0.43). Do not write as a percentage. Question 2...

The quality-control inspector of a production plant will reject a batch of syringes if two or more defective syringes are found in a random sample of six syringes taken from the batch. Suppose the batch contains 5% defective syringes. (a) Make a histogram showing the probabilities of r = 0, 1, 2, 3, …, 5 and 6 defective syringes in a random sample of six syringes. (b) Find μ (in terms of the number of syringes). (Enter a number. Enter...
