1. Let x be the number of courses for which a randomly selected student at a certain university is registered. The probability distribution of x appears in the table shown below: x 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 p(x) .04 .02 .08 .26 .35 .14 .11
(a) What is P(x = 4)? P(x = 4) =
(b) What is P(x 4)? P(x 4) =
(c) What is the probability that the selected student is taking at most five courses? P (at most 5 courses) =
(d) What is the probability that the selected student is taking at least five courses? more than five courses? P (at least 5 courses) = P (more than 5 courses) =
(e) Calculate P (3 x 6) and P(3 < x < 6). P (3 x 6) = P (3 < x < 6) =
2. Find the probability of the indicated event if P(A) = 0.25 and P(B) = 0.45. P(A ∪ B) if P(A ∩ B) = 0.1
3. How many arrangements of answers are possible for a true/false test with 7 questions?
4. In how many ways can a committee of 4 students be formed from a pool of 7 students?

8. An urn contains 4 white marbles, 11 green marbles, 9 yellow marbles, and 7 black marbles. If one marble is selected, determine the probability that it is white.
9. The probability distribution of x, the number of defective tires on a randomly selected automobile checked at a certain inspection station, is given in the following table. x 0 1 2 3 4 p(x) .54 .14 .07 .04 .21
(a) Calculate the mean value of x. μx =
(b) What is the probability that x exceeds its mean value? P (x > μx) =
