A car company wishes to test its cars for a defect which is known to affect 2% of cars. Suppose the company randomly (and independently) selects 300 units of the same type of car. Let X be the number of defective cars out of the 300 selected.
(a) What type of RV is X?
(b) Compute the expected number of defective cars.
(c) What is the probability that exactly 6 cars are defective?
(d) What is the probability that up to ±5 from 6 (that is, between 1 and 11 inclusive) cars are defective? (e) How good a guess would ±5 away from 6 be, given our answer for (d)?

A car manufacturer has determined it takes an average time of 56
minutes to produce a car. The population standard deviation is
assumed to be 6 minutes. The company pays a bonus to the workers
for every car produced in 48 minutes or less. Assuming that the
production time is normally distributed, answer the following
questions. Let X = production time of a randomly selected car.
Round all probabilities to four decimal places and times
to two decimal places.

Your insurance company has converage for three types of cars.
The annual cost for each type of car can be modeled using Gaussian
(Normal) distribution, with the following parameters:
Car Type 1: Mean=$520 and Standard Deviation=$110
Car Type 2: Mean=$720 and Standard Deviation=$170
Car Type 3: Mean=$470 and Standard Deviation=$80
Use the Random number generator and simulate 1000-long columns,
for each of the three cases. Example: for the Car Type 1, use
Number of variables=1, Number of random numbers=1000,
Distribution=Normal,...
