1. The staff at a small company includes: 4 secretaries, 20 technicians, 4 engineers, 2
executives, and 50 factory workers. If a person is selected at random, what is the probability that
he or she is a factory worker?
2. In a genetics experiment 5 flowers out of 8 were bicolor, and the rest were solid color. If 3 of
the flowers are selected at random without replacement, what is the probability that all 3 are
bicolor?
3. If A and B are mutually exclusive events with P(A) = 0.70, then P(B):
4. Which of the following statements are true?
5. See pages 196-197 of your text for guidance on how to solve this problem
6. Find the variance of the following probability distribution.
7. A multiple choice quiz consists of 6 questions, each with 4 possible answers. If a student
guesses at the answer to each question, then the mean number of correct answers is
8. The failure rate for taking the bar exam in Philadelphia is 41%. If 375 people take the bar
exam, what is the mean for the number of failures?
9. The following data were obtained from a survey of college students. The variable X represents
the number of non-assigned books read during the past six months.
10. The following data were obtained from a survey of college students. The variable X
represents the number of non-assigned books read during the past six months.

Find P( X 3)
11. Accepted characters: numbers, decimal point markers (period or comma), sign indicators
(-), spaces (e.g., as thousands separator, 5 000), "E" or "e" (used in scientific notation). NOTE:
For scientific notation, a period MUST be used as the decimal point marker.
Complex numbers should be in the form (a + bi) where "a" and "b" need to have explicitly stated
values.
For example: {1+1i} is valid whereas {1+i} is not. {0+9i} is valid whereas {9i} is not.
If a gambler rolls two dice and gets a sum of four, he wins $10; and if he gets a sum of three, he
wins $25. The cost to play the game is $5. What is the expectation of this game?
Place your answer, rounded to two decimal places, in the blank. -2.88 When entering your
answer do not use a dollar sign. However, if the expected payoff is negative be sure to use a
minus sign. For example, -1.23 would be a legitimate entry
12. Accepted characters: numbers, decimal point markers (period or comma), sign indicators
(-), spaces (e.g., as thousands separator, 5 000), "E" or "e" (used in scientific notation). NOTE:

3. Complex numbers should be in the form (a + bi) where "a" and "b" need to have explicitly stated
values.
For example: {1+1i} is valid whereas {1+i} is not. {0+9i} is valid whereas {9i} is not.
In a survey, 55% of the voters support a particular referendum. If 40 voters are chosen at
random, and X is the number of voters that support this referendum, find the mean and variance
of X. Place the mean in the first blank 21.5 and place the variance in the second blank. 9.0

What is the mean number of DVDs that customers rent? Round your answer to one decimal
place as necessary. For example, 4.5 would be a legitimate entry

In a history class, students take a weekly multiple choice quiz consisting of 6 questions, each
with 4 possible answers. If a student randomly guesses at the answer to each question for every
quiz, then what is the mean number of correct answers the student will get on each quiz?
Round your answer to one decimal place as necessary. For example, 4.5 would be a legitimate
entry
15. Accepted characters: numbers, decimal point markers (period or comma), sign indicators
(-), spaces (e.g., as thousands separator, 5 000), "E" or "e" (used in scientific notation). NOTE:

5. Complex numbers should be in the form (a + bi) where "a" and "b" need to have explicitly stated
values.
For example: {1+1i} is valid whereas {1+i} is not. {0+9i} is valid whereas {9i} is not.
If a coin is tossed seven times, how many different outcomes are possible? Place your answer in
the blank. Do not use any decimal places or commas. For example, 345 would be a legitimate
entry

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is a very visible group whose main focus is to educate
the public about the harm caused by drunk drivers. A study was recently done that emphasized
the problem we all face with drinking and driving. Five hundred accidents that occurred on a
Saturday night were analyzed. Two items noted were the number of vehicles involved and
whether alcohol played a role in the accident. The numbers are shown below:
Number of Vehicles Involved
6. Did alcohol play a
role?
1 2 3
Yes 60 110 30 200
No 40 215 45 300
100 325 75
Given alcohol was involved, what proportion of accidents involved a single vehicle?
Place your answer, rounded to 2 decimal places, in the blank. For example, 0.23 is a legitimate
entry
