Java Python Python Assignment #3

▪Anything written in hand and any answers calculated besides Python will get zero points.

▪If your Python codes do not work in a certain question but your answer is correct, you would receive zero for that question since it would be considered cheating.

▪Submit your Python codes and results to the “assignment” section in Modules on Canvas. Please show the answers to each question below the Python codes.

▪The due date is 11:59 PM on August 1 (Thursday), 2024.

a) Find P(2 < x < 5).

b) Find P(x > 4).

c) Find F(3).

d) Find the 80th percentile.

2. The lifetime of a certain brand of lightbulb has the following distribution (in hours).

 

a) Find the probability that a randomly selected lightbulb of this kind lasts 700 to 900 hours.

b) Find the probability that a randomly selected lightbulb of this kind lasts longer than 850 hours.

3. a) A shipment of 25 compact discs contains  Python Assignment #3Python ;5 defective ones. Ten are selected at random. What is the probability that two of them will be defective?

b) In a college classroom, some chairs are designed for left-handers. Suppose this classroom has

20 chairs, and 8 of them are made for lefties. If 5 students randomly select chairs and sit on them in this classroom, what is the probability that at least 4 of those selected will be seats for lefties?

b) Find the probability that he correctly answers 6 to 11 (inclusive) questions.

5. Thirty percent of the automobiles in a certain city are foreign-made. Four cars are selected at random. Let x be the number of foreign-made cars sampled. Let “success” be a case in which a foreign-made automobile is selected with a probability of success of 0.3.
