b) FInd the probability they find a bad one within the first 11 they examine _________
c) Find the probability that the first bad chip they find will be the fourth one they test _____________

An Olympic archer misses the bull's-eye 14% of the time. Assume each shot is independent of the others. If she shoots 8
arrows, what is the probability of each of the results described in parts a through f below?
a) Her first miss comes on the sixth arrow.
The probability is _____________
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
A manager at a company that manufactures cell phones has noticed that the number of faulty cell phones in a production run of cell phones is usually small and that the quality of one day's run seems to have no bearing on the next day.
a) What model might you use to model the number of faulty cell phones produced in one day?
Geometric, Poisson, Binomial, Uniform ?
b) If the mean number of faulty cell phones is 1.9
per day, what is the probability that no faulty cell phones will be produced tomorrow?
c) If the mean number of faulty cell phones is 1.9
per day, what is the probability that 3 or more faulty cell phones were produced in today's run?
