Joe tries to study at a study cafe each day of the week, except on the weekends (Saturdays & Sundays). Joe is able to study, on average, on 75% of the weekdays (Monday-Friday).

i. Find the expected value and the standard deviation of the number of days he studies in a given week.

ii. Given that Joe studies on Monday, find the probability that he will study at least 3 days in the rest of the week.

iii. Find the probability that in a period of four weeks, Joe studies 3 or less days in only two of the four weeks.

(b)

A bakery uses a particular ingredient at an average rate of 6 per week. Find the probability that:

i. at least 6 are used in a particular week.

ii. exactly 18 are used in a 3-week period.

iii. exactly 6 are used in each of 3 successive weeks.

(c)

The breaking strength (grams) of a certain ceramic is normally distributed, with a mean of 115 grams and a variance of 4 grams.

i. What is the probability that a single randomly selected piece of ceramic will have breaking strength between 118 and 120 grams?
ii. A new piece of ceramic is considered defective if the breaking strength is less than 113.6 grams. What is the probability that a single randomly selected piece of ceramic will be defective?

iii. What is the probability that out of 200 pieces of randomly selected ceramic, more than fifty five of them are defective.
