5. Nineteen people move out of a neighborhood; four are
minorities. Of the nineteen, eight move onto a block with new
housing, and one of these eight is a minority. How likely is it
that, if there were no discrimination, less than two people out of
the eight people on this new block would be minorities? If the
resulting probability is less than 0.05, evidence for
discrimination exists. Does such evidence exist in this case?

The incubation time for Rhode Island Red chicks is
normally distributed with a mean of 21 days and standard deviation
of approximately 1.5 days. If 1000 eggs are being
incubated, how many chicks do we expect will hatch (what proportion
of 1,000
in 18 to 24 days (18 > x < 24)?
in 19.5 to 22.5 days (19.5 > x < 22.5)?
in 21 days or fewer (X < 21)?
in 15 to 20 days (15 > x < 20)?...

The incubation time for Rhode Island Red chicks is normally
distributed with a mean of 23 days and standard deviation of
approximately 3 days. Look at the figure below and answer the
following questions. If 1000 eggs are being incubated, how many
chicks do we expect will hatch in the following time periods?
(Note: In this problem, let us agree to think of a single day or a
succession of days as a continuous interval of time. Assume all

In a small island population, half the people are healthy and
half are sick. The annual expected medical claims of the healthy
and sick are $200 and $4,000, respectively. Assume that the health
insurance company does not know whether people are healthy or sick
before they buy insurance. If the health insurance company charges
an annual premium of $2,100 (the average expected claim), only the
_____ will buy insurance, driving future premiums _____.

Suppose individuals A, B and C are on a stranded island. There
are no other people on the island except for A, B and C. Each of
them can only do two activities to survive: either gather coconuts
or catch fish. Individual A can either gather 10 coconuts or catch
16 fish; individual B can either gather 8 coconuts or catch 10 fish
and individual C can either gather 20 coconuts or catch 20 fish.
Assume that all three of...
