2. A company that manufactures cogs sells them in cartons of 100. It is historically known that about 1% of the cogs manufactured by the company are defective.
(a) Write an exact expression for the probability that a carton has more than 2 defective cogs in it.
(b) Approximate this same probability using the normal distribution.
(c) Approximate this same probability using the Poisson distribution.
(d) Which of the approximations of parts (b) and (c) is better? Why is this the case?
3. Assume that Q is a random variable with density proportional to q for 0 < q < 1. Given Q = q, N has a binomial distribution with parameters n and q. The following identity for a,b > -1 is useful for this problem:

4. The lifetime of a certain type of electrical component is well modeled by an exponential distribution with mean 2 hours. Assume that a system uses one component of this type and when there is a failure, the component is immediately replaced by another of the same type with exponential lifetime independent of all previous components.
(a) Given the first component has not failed after two hours, what is the chance it will not fail within the following two hours?
(b) What is the chance that at least two components fail in the first hour?
5. Assume that X and Y are independent exponential random variables with rates 1 and 2, respectively.
