In a certain country, on average one student in five has blue eyes. For a random selection of 120 students, find the probability that fewer than 33 have blue eyes.
Assume that, for a randomly chosen person, their next birthday is equally likely to occur on any day of the week, independently of any other person's birthday. Find the probability that, out of 350 randomly chosen people, at least 47 will have their next birthday on a Monday.
The mean of a certain normally distributed variable is four times the standard deviation. The probability that a randomly chosen value is greater than 5 is 0.15.
200 values of the variable are chosen at random. Find the probability that at least 160 of these values are less than 5.
Ana meets her friends once every day. For each day the probability that she is early is 0.05 and the probability that she is late is 0.75. Otherwise she is on time.
Find the probability that she is on time on fewer than 20 of the next 96 days.
The lengths of Eastern bluebirds are normally distributed with mean 18.4 cm and standard deviation \(\sigma\) cm. It is known that 72% of Eastern bluebirds have length greater than 17.1 cm.
(b) Find the value of \(\sigma\).
A random sample of 120 Eastern bluebirds is chosen.
(c) Use an approximation to find the probability that fewer than 80 of these 120 bluebirds have length greater than 17.1 cm.
