Question

1. In an effort to persuade customers to reduce their electricity consumption, special discounts have been offered for low consumption customers. In Florida, the EPA estimates that 75% of the residences have qualified for these discounts. Use binomial distribution to answer the following:

-If we randomly select seven residences in Florida, what is the probability that at most four of the seven will have qualified for the discounts?

2. The number x of people entering the intensive care unit at a particular hospital on any one day has a Poisson probability distribution with mean equal to four persons per day.

-Calculate P(1 < x < 6 ).

-What is the probability that the number of people entering the intensive care unit during a two day period is more than 12?

1) p = 0.75

n = 7

P(X 4) = 7C0 * 0.75^0 * 0.25^7 + 7C1 * 0.75^1 * 0.25^6 +...............+ 7C4 * 0.75^4 * 0.25^3

P = 0.2436
