Airline passengers arrive randomly and independently at the passenger-screening facility at a major international airport. The mean arrival rate is 6 passengers per minute.
A. Compute the probability of no arrivals in a one-minute period (to 6 decimals). B. Compute the probability that three or fewer passengers arrive in a one-minute period (to 4 decimals). C. Compute the probability of no arrivals in a 15-second period (to 4 decimals). Compute the probability of at least one arrival in a 15-second period (to 4 decimals).

3. Suppose that a particular polygraph test has 80% accuracy when taken by a guilty party, and 90% accuracy when taken by an innocent party. The police produce 10 suspects and it is knowns that two guilty parties are among them. An individual is chosen at random from among the suspects. (a) What is the probability that this individual is guilty? (b) What is the probability that this individual will “test guilty”? (c) What is the probability of true guilt, given that the individual tests guilty? (d) What is the probability that this individual will test correctly?

(a) You flip a fair coin four times, generating the sequence HTTH. What is the probability of that result occurring? (b) What is the probability that flipping a fair coin twice produces a head on one of those flips and a tail on the other flip? (c) What is the probability that flipping a fair coin four times produces two heads and two tails, in any order? (d) What is the probability that flipping a fair coin ten times produces five heads and five tails, in any order?
