A small business just leased a new presentation equipment and a color laser printer for three years. The service contract for the computer offers unlimited repairs for a fee of $100 a year plus a $25 service charge for each repair needed. The company's research Indicates that during a given year 86% of these computers need no repairs, 9% need to be Repaired once, 4% twice, 1% three times, and none required more than three repairs. The standard deviation of the company's annual expense with the service contract for the Presentation equipment is

A fast food restaurant just leased a new freezer and food fryer for three years. The service contract for the freezer offers unlimited repairs for a fee of $125 a year plus a $35 Service charge for each repair needed. The restaurant's research indicates that during a Given year 80% of these freezers need no repairs, 11% needed to be serviced once, 5% Twice, 4% three times, and none required more than three repairs. The expected number Of repairs for this freezer per year is

It is estimated that 20% of luxury cars manufactured in 2012 were silver. A car dealership typically sells 20 luxury cars per month. A. What is the probability that 8 of the luxury cars sold per month are silver? b. What is the probability that more than 10 of the luxury cars sold per month are silver? c. How many silver luxury cars would you expect are sold per month?

For quality control purposes, a company that manufactures sim chips for cell/smart phones routinely takes samples from its production process. Since it is important that These chips are nearly fault free, one inspection check involves using microscopic Equipment to count the number of imperfections on each chip. Suppose the average Number of imperfections per 1000 sim chips is 3.What is the probability that a sample of This size has no more than 2 imperfections?

A local unemployment office keeps track of the number of new claims filed each day. Based on the data collected, it determines that the following probability distribution applies: Number of Claims Probability 0 .05 1 .15 2 .25 3 .45 4 .10 A. What is the expected number of new claims filed each day? b. What is the standard deviation in the number of new claims filed each day? c. What is the expected number of new claims filed each week? Assume the unemployment office is open 5 days a week. d. What is the standard deviation in the number of new claims filed each week? Assume the unemployment office is open 5 days a week.

Suppose that incoming calls per hour to a customer service center of a small credit union are uniformly distributed between 0 and 6 calls. What is the probability that more Than 6 calls are received per hour?

Internet service providers (ISP) need to resolve customer problems as quickly as possible. For one ISP, past data indicate that the likelihood is .80 that customer calls regarding Internet service interruptions are resolved within one hour. Out of the next 10 customer calls about interrupted service, A. What is the probability that exactly 7 will be resolved within one hour? b. What is the probability that at least 7 will be resolved within one hour? c. How many customers would be expected to have their service problems resolved within one hour?

Since it is important that These chips are nearly fault free, one inspection check involves using microscopic Equipment to count the number of imperfections on each chip. Suppose the average Number of imperfections per 1000 sim chips is 3. What is the probability that a sample This size (1000 chips) has 2 imperfections?

Suppose that incoming calls per hour to a customer service center of a small credit union are uniformly distributed between 0 and 6 calls. The probability that fewer than 3 Calls are received per hour is

A local unemployment office keeps track of the number of new claims filed each day. Based on data collected, it determines that the expected number of new claims filed per Day is 2.4 with a standard deviation of 0.8688. Suppose that the office is open five days Per week. The expected number of new claims filed per week at this office is
