- Hash function distributes records among the buckets randomly,
each with equal probability
- Each record's location is independent of the location of all
the other records

1)A real estate agent has 20 properties that she shows. She
feels that there is a 440% chance of selling any one property
during a week. The chance of selling any one property is
independent of selling another property. Compute the probability of
selling less than 5 properties in one week. Round your answer to
four decimal places.

Marie distributes toys for toddlers. She makes visits to
households and gives away one toy only on visits for which the door
is answered and a toddler is in
residence. On any visit, the probability of the door being answered
is 3/4, and the probability that there is a toddler in residence is
1/3. Assume that the events “Door answered" and “Toddler in
residence" are independent and also that events related to
different households are independent.

Assume that different groups of couples use a particular method
of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby. This
method is designed to increase the likelihood that each baby will
be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect, so the

couples. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. a. Find the mean

mall is equally likely to choose any of the six different bakeries,
independent of the choices of the previous customers.

minutes of business at the start of the day is a Poisson random
variable with mean 8. Compute the expected value of the number of
bakeries that will serve customers during the...
