The gypsy moth is a serious threat to oak and aspen trees. A state agriculture department places traps throughout the state to detect the moths. When traps are checked periodically, the mean number of moths trapped is only 0.4, but some traps have several moths. The distribution of moth counts is discrete and strongly skewed, with standard deviation 0.9.
What is the mean (±0.1) of the average number of moths x⎯⎯⎯x¯ in 60
traps?
And the standard deviation? (±0.001)
Use the central limit theorem to find the probability (±0.01) that
the average number of moths in 60 traps is greater than
0.4:

Let X be the number of material anomalies occurring in a particular region of an aircraft gas-turbine disk. The article “Methodology for Probabilistic Life Prediction of Multiple-Anomaly Materials” (Amer. Inst. of Aeronautics and Astronautics J., 2006: 787–793) proposes a Poisson distribution for X. Suppose μ = 4.
Compute both P(X ≤ 4) and P(X < 4).
Compute P(4 ≤ X ≤ 8).
Compute P(8 ≤ X).
What is the probability that the observed number of anomalies exceeds the expected number by no more than one standard deviation?

On the basis of past experience, Martin Clothing Store manager estimates that the probability that any one customer will make a purchase is 0.30. Martin Clothing Store forecasts ten customers will enter the store in the next hour; the expected number of customers who will make a purchase is __________. The standard deviation for the number of customers who will make a purchase is __________. NOTE: Write your answers in number format, with 2 decimal places of precision level. Add a leading minus sign symbol, a leading zero and trailing zeros, when needed. Use a period for the decimal separator and a comma to separate groups of thousands.

Suppose that a long distance taxi service owns 4 vehicles. These are of different ages and have different repair records. The probabilities that, on a given day, each vehicle will be available for use are: 0.90, 0.90, 0.80, 0.70. Whether one vehicle is available is independent of whether any other vehicle is available. a. Find the probability distribution for the number of vehicles available for use on a given day. b. Find the expected number of vehicles available for use on a given day. c. Find the standard deviation of the number of vehicles available for use on a given day. Round your answer to four decimal points

A law firm specializing in corporate law has 4 lawyers. Because of various reasons, on any given day, the probabilities that each lawyer will be attending a trial is: 0.90, 0.90, 0.85, 0.80. Note that a lawyer attending a trial is independent of any other lawyer attending a trial
a. Find the probability distribution for the number of lawyers who has a trial on a given day.
b. Find the expected number of lawyers attending to a trial on a given day.
c. Find the standard deviation of the number of lawyers attending to a trial on a given day. Round your answer to four decimal points.

Define a class of queues that implements the interface QueueInterface, as defined in Listing 7-1 in Chapter 7. Use an instance of the class ArrayList to contain a queues entries. Then write a driver/test program adequately demonstrates your new class. Note that you might have to handle exceptions thrown by methods of ArrayList.

for the difference in the population proportions of home wins.
Include the sample proportions, z α 2and standard error.

A game on The Price is Right has the contestant choose 12 tiles from a wall containing 25 tiles. Of the 25 tiles, 12 have a dollar sign on the back and the rest are blank. If all 12 of the tiles the constestant picks have a dollar sign, the contestant wins $100,000. However, if they pick just 10 tiles with the dollar sign, they win $10,000. In how many ways could the contestant pick exactly 10 of the 12 tiles with a dollar sign?
