1. The number of suits sold per day (X) at Suit World is shown in the probability distribution below.

Find the mean/expected value and standard deviation of the distribution.

Interpret both values.

On a randomly selected day, the average number of suits sold is

20.8 on average and the number of suits sold di ers from the
average by 1.25 on average.

2. A local high school has one of the best women’s swimming teams in the region. The 400-meter freestyle relay
team is undefeated this year. In the 400-meter freestyle relay, each swimmer swims 100 meters. The times, in
seconds, for each of the four swimmers this season are approximately Normally distributed with means and
standard deviations as shown. Assuming that the swimmer’s individual times are independent, find the probability
that the total team time in the 400-meter freestyle relay is less than 220 seconds.

3. There are over 12,000 students in District 214 and exactly 60% of them got their flu shot in the last 12 months.
A District 214 employee in charge of health and safety protocols needs to complete a mandatory state survey on
behalf of District 214 and needs to obtain anonymous health documentation for 200 randomly selected District
214 students. Let F represent the number of randomly selected students who have received a flu shot in the last 12
months. Show that F is a binomial random variable, that F can be approximated by a Normal distribution, and find
the probability (using a Normal approximation) that at least 140 of the randomly selected students have received
their flu shot in the past year.

with a mean of 3.96 inches and a standard deviation of 0.06 inches. The diameter L of a randomly selected large lid
at this restaurant follows a Normal distribution with a mean 3.98 inches and standard deviation 0.02 inches. For a
lid to fit on a cup, the value of L has to be bigger than the value of C, but not by more than 0.06 inches.

A’s in their classes this late in the semester. After getting a report from the school registrar, he finds out that 12%
of students currently have all A’s. Mr. G takes a random sample of 50 students from the school and looks up their
current grades. Let A = the number of these randomly selected students who currently have all A’s in their classes.

e. Mr. G has his nephew in one of his classes and he knows that his nephew has all A’s right now. When the class is
taking a quiz, Mr. G looks up his students’ grades (in alphabetical order) one by one. If we consider this a random
selection of students from this school and his nephew is the 15 th in the alphabet in this class, what is the probability
that his nephew will be the first student to have all A’s right now?

sample of 50 students from the school and let B = the number of these randomly selected students who currently
have at least 1 B. Find the probability that less than 15 of the randomly selected students have at least 1 B.

specially designed orders each week to maintain a profit while also not falling behind on production. The
probability distribution of their weekly order demands is shown below. Define the random variable X as the
number of orders placed each week by their customers.

a. Determine the mean and standard deviation of the random variable X.

b. The company charges $100 for each specially designed order. However, the
company incurs a fixed weekly cost of $2500 for manufacturing and
distribution of the orders, no matter how many orders are placed in the given
week. Define the random variable P as the total profit that the company makes
after calculating the revenue and taking out the manufacturing/distribution
cost. Determine the mean and standard deviation of the random variable P.

9. Ed and Michelle are twins in different math classes. Let E = the amount of time that Ed takes on a nightly math
homework assignment and let M = the amount of time that Michelle takes on a nightly math homework
assignment. Ed’s math homework time follows a Normal distribution with a mean of 25 minutes and a standard
deviation of 5 minutes while Michelle’s distribution of math homework time follows a Normal distribution with a
mean of 40 minutes and a standard deviation of 10 minutes.

a. Let H = the combined time spent by the twins doing math homework this past week. If Ed had to do nightly
math homework four times and Michelle had to do nightly math homework twice, what is the mean and standard
deviation of H?

10. In the board game Trouble, your game pieces start at Home. In order to move any of your pieces from Home to
Start on the playing track, you must “pop” a 6 in the POP-O-MATIC die roller. The die is a fair 6 sided die and each
roll is independent of each other.

e. Carla didn’t end up winning the game (Maddie won!) and in front of the kids she was a good sport about it.
However, later on, she was not happy about it and felt that she got way less 6’s than she should’ve and that she was
really unlucky in the game. She rolled a total of 38 times during the game and while she didn’t remember exactly
how many 6’s she got, she was pretty sure it was less than 7. What would be the probability of this happening?
