1. (5 points) You have been given the choice of receiving $500 in cash or receiving a gold coin
that has a face value of $100. However, the actual value of the gold coin depends on its gold
content. You are told that the coin has a 40% probability of being worth $400, a 30% probability
of being worth $900, and a 30% probability of being worth its face value. Basing your decision
on expected value, should you choose the coin?

2. Dermatologists strongly recommend that people who are exposed to sunlight should either be
covered up or put on sunscreen. Suppose that at a Florida condominium pool only a quarter of
residents sit around the pool in the sun with no sunscreen.

(a) What is the probability that in a random sample of 10 condo residents 3 or fewer have no
sunscreen? (3 points) pc ✗ ≤ 3) 0.7759* =

(b) What is the expected number of residents who do not use sunscreen in a random sample of
100? (2 points) 25 *

3. Cars arriving for gasoline at a particular gas station follow a Poisson distribution with a mean
of 5 per hour.

mm.
(a) What proportion of the population of bone length is larger than 66 mm? (2 points) 1- 0.7257 = 0.2743
☒
(b) If there are 2000 bone lengths in this population, how many of them are greater than 66
mm? (2 points) ร & 8.6 ☒

(c) What proportion of the area under the normal curve lies to the right of 77.5 mm? (2 points) 1- 0.9 ๖ 92-0.0101
