2) The Reviews editor for a certain scientific journal decides whether the review for any
particular book should be short (1–2 pages), medium (3–4 pages), or long (5–6 pages).
Data on recent reviews indicates that 60% of them are short, 30% are medium, and the other
10% are long. Reviews are submitted in either Word or LaTeX. For short reviews, 80% are in
Word, whereas 50% of medium reviews are in Word and 30% of long reviews are in
Word. Suppose a recent review is randomly selected.
a. What is the probability that the selected review was submitted in Word format?
b. Given the review was submitted in Word format, what is the probability of it being
short, medium, or long?

3) Using the cdf below, calculate:

a. P(4)
b. P(X >= 8)
c. P(X<16)
d. P(2<x<=8)

4) In a class of 20 students, 20% of the students do the assigned reading and 80% do not.
a. What is the expected number of students who do the reading?
b. What is the standard deviation of the number of students who do the reading?
c. What is the probability the number of students who do the reading is 3 or more
standard deviations away from the mean value?

5) In a Poisson distribution with a mean of 4, compute:


a. P(4<= X <= 8)
b. P(8 <= X)
c. What is the probability that the number of anomalies exceeds its mean value by no
more than one standard deviation?
