Answer the question. 1) In a certain town, 25% of people commute to work by bicycle. If a person is selected randomly from the town, what are the odds against selecting someone who commutes by bicycle? Find the indicated probability. 2) Two 6-sided dice are rolled. What is the probability that the sum of the two numbers on the dice will be 4? 3) A spinner has equal regions numbered 1 through 15. What is the probability that the spinner will stop on an even number or a multiple of 3? 4) A bag contains 8 red marbles, 4 blue marbles, and 1 green marble. Find P(not blue). 5) A manufacturing process has a 70% yield, meaning that 70% of the products are acceptable and 30% are defective. If three of the products are randomly selected, find the probability that all of them are acceptable. 6) An unprepared student makes random guesses for the ten true-false questions on a quiz. Find the probability that there is at least one correct answer. 7) The following table contains data from a study of two airlines which fly to Small Town, USA.
Number of flights Number of flights which were on time which were late Podunk Airlines 33 6 Upstate Airlines 43 5 If one of the 87 flights is randomly selected, find the probability that the flight selected arrived on time given that it was an Upstate Airlines flight.

Answer the question. 14) Focus groups of 15 people are randomly selected to discuss products of the Famous Company. It is determined that the mean number (per group) who recognize the Famous brand name is 10.2, and the standard deviation is 0.84. Would it be unusual to randomly select 15 people and find that greater than 14 recognize the Famous brand name?

Determine whether the given procedure results in a binomial distribution. If not, state the reason why. 15) Choosing 10 marbles from a box of 40 marbles (20 purple, 12 red, and 8 green) one at a 15) time with replacement, keeping track of the number of red marbles chosen.
Assume that a procedure yields a binomial distribution with a trial repeated n times. Use the binomial probability formula to find the probability of x successes given the probability p of success on a single trial. 1 16) n = 4, x = 3, p = 16) 6
