Find the probability that:

Rolling a fair die 3 times, at least two dice are less than 4.

Previous answers have suggested 0.875 (189 feasible cases/ 216 total cases). However, from simple trial and error we can see that there are more than 27 cases where this answers fails. For example is the first dice gets a 4 and the 2nd dice gets 4,5,6 and the last dice gets any number, there is already 18 cases here that are not feasible.

Thank you.

63 % of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. You randomly select 10 U.S. adults. Find the probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is (a) exactly five, (b) at least six, and (c) less than four.

(a) P(5)=____ (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

(b) P(x greater than or equals 6)=_____ (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

(c) P(x< 4)=___ (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

The taste test for PTC (phenylthiourea) is a common class demonstration in the study of genetics. It is known that 70% of Canadians are “tasters” and 30% are “non-tasters.” Suppose a genetics class of size 20 does the test to see if they match the Canadian percentage of “tasters” and “non-tasters.” (Assume the assignment of students to classes constitutes a random process.)
a. What is the probability distribution of the random variable x, the number of “non-tasters” in the class?
b. Find P(3 < x < 9).
c. Find the mean of x.
d. Find the variance of

  1. Suppose that 24% of U.S. residents are fluent in a language other than English. Let X represent the number of people in a SRS of 12 U.S. residents who are fluent in another language.

  1. (3 pts) What distribution will X have? (Give the name of this type of distribution.)

b. (4 pts) Find the mean and standard deviation of the distribution of X.

  1. (6 pts) Calculate the probability that a random sample of 12 U.S. residents contains fewer than 3 who are fluent in a language other than English.

A Food Marketing Institute found that 34% of households spend more than $125 a week on groceries. Assume the population proportion is 0.34 and a simple random sample of 368 households is selected from the population. What is the probability that the sample proportion of households spending more than $125 a week is less than 0.32?

A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 195.2-cm and a standard deviation of 0.8-cm. For shipment, 22 steel rods are bundled together.

Find the probability that the average length of a randomly selected bundle of steel rods is less than 195.1-cm.
P(M < 195.1-cm) =
