Question 2: (15 points)
Suppose a researcher goes to a small college of 200 faculty, 12 of which have blood type Onegative. He obtains a simple random sample of n = 20 of the faculty. Let the random variable X
represent the number of faculty in the sample of size that have blood type O-negative.
(a) What is the probability that 3 of the faculty have blood type O-negative? (Round your answer
to the nearest thousandth).
(10 marks)
(b) What is the probability that a none (x = 0) of the faculty has blood type O-negative? (Round
your answer to the nearest thousandth).

(A) The replacement times for DVD players are normally distributed with a mean of 7.1 years
and a standard deviation of 1.5 years (data from Consumer Reports). What is the probability
that a randomly selected DVD player will be replaced in less than 5 years? (12 marks)

Question 4: (20 points)
(A) Suppose the average height of men football players follows a normal distribution with a
mean of 175 cm and a standard deviation of 20 cm. If a sample of 10 players is selected at
random, what is the probability that the sample mean is above 185 cm?
(B) A machine fills small boxes with cereal. The amount deposited into the box is normally
distributed with a mean of 24.8 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.20 ounces. If a sample of 9
boxes is chosen at random, what is the probability that the sample mean is between 24.9 and 25
ounces?
