Dr. Vonder, the chair, wants to establish a committee of three department faculty
members to review the curriculum. If she selects the committee at random:
a. What is the probability all members of the committee are tenured?
b. What is the probability that at least one member is not tenured? (Hint: For this
question, use the complement rule).
3. New Process, Inc., a large mail-order supplier of women’s fashions, advertises
same-day service on every order. Recently, the movement of orders has not gone
as planned, and there were a large number of complaints. Bud Owens, director of
customer service, has completely redone the method of order handling. The goal
is to have fewer than five unfilled orders on hand at the end of 95% of the
working days. Frequent checks of the unfilled orders follow a Poisson distribution
with a mean of two orders. A Poisson distribution is a discrete frequency
distribution.
Has New Process, Inc. lived up to its internal goal? Cite evidence. 4. Recent information published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
indicates that Honda is the manufacturer of four of the top nine vehicles in terms
of fuel economy.
a. Determine the probability distribution for the number of Hondas in a sample
of three cars chosen from the top nine.
b. What is the likelihood that in the sample of three at least one Honda is
included?
