In a population of interest, we know that, 77% drink coffee, and 23% drink tea. Assume that drinking coffee and tea are disjoint events in this population. We also know coffee drinkers have a 30% chance of smoking. There is a 13% chance of smoking for those who drink tea.
Five individuals are randomly chosen from this population. What is the probability that four of them drink coffee?
Five individuals are randomly chosen from this population. What is the probability that the first four drink coffee and the last one drinks tea?
Five individuals are randomly chosen from this population. What is the expected number (population mean) of coffee drinkers?

1. A grocery store counts the number of customers who arrive during an hour. The average over a year is 29 customers per hour. Assume the arrival of customers follows a Poisson distribution. (It usually does.) Find the probability that at least one customer arrives in a particular one minute period. Round your answer to 3 decimals. Find the probability that at least two customers arrive in a particular 2 minute period.
2. Label each as one of the following
Exponential
Poisson
Binomial

A random sample of 6IC's is taken from a large consignment and tested in two independent
stages. The probability that an IC will pass either stage is p.All the 6IC's are tested at the first stage.
If 5 or more pass the test, those which pass are tested at the second stage.The consignment is accepted if
there is at most one failure at each stage.
a) what is the probability that stage two of the test will be required?
b) the number of items expected to enter stage 2
c) the probability of accepting the consignment
