185 to 205
b) Find the probability that a score is from
165 to 175
c) Find the probability that a score is greater than 200

The average number of sugar in a generic brand of cereal is 660mg, and the standard deviation is 35mg. Assume the variable is normally distributed.
a.) if a single cereal is selected, find the probability that the sugar content will be more than 670mg.
b.) if a sample of 10 cereals is selected, find the probability that the mean of the sample will be larger than 670mg.
c.)Why is the probability for part (a) greater than for part (b)?

A city has just added 110 new female recruits to its police force. The city will provide a pension to each new hire who remains with the force until retirement. In addition, if the new hire is married at the time of her retirement, a second pension will be provided for her husband. A consulting actuary makes the following assumptions: (i) Each new recruit has a 0.3 probability of remaining with the police force until retirement. (ii) Given that a new recruit reaches retirement with the police force, the probability that she is not married at the time of retirement is 0.35. (iii) The number of pensions that the city will provide on behalf of each new hire is independent of the number of pensions it will provide on behalf of any other new hire. Determine the probability that the city will provide at most 62 pensions to the 110 new hires and their husbands. Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places.

Suppose that the number of printing mistakes on each page of a 200-page Mathematics book is independent of that on other pages. and it follows a Poisson distribution with mean 0.2.
(a) Find the probability that there is no printing mistake on page 23.
(b) Let page N be the first page which contains printing mistakes.
Find (i) the probability that N is less than or equal to 3,
(ii) the mean and variance of N.
(c) Let M be the number of pages which contain printing mistakes.Find the mean and variance of M.
(d) Suppose there is another 200-page Statistics book and there are 40 printing mistakes randomly and independently scattered through it.
Let Y be the number of printing mistakes on page 23.
(i) Which of the distributions - Bernoulli, binomial, geometric, Poisson, does Y follow?
(ii) Find the probability that there is no printing mistake on page 23.
