2. It is known from laboratory experiments that 40% of mice inoculated with a serum are protected from a
certain disease. If 6 mice are inoculated, find the probability that (a) none contracts the disease, (b) fewer
than 2 contracts the disease; (c) more than 4 contracts the disease. (d) Find the mean and variance of X:
the number of mice protected from disease after inoculation.

4. The surface of a circular dart board has a small center circle called the bull’s-eye and 20 pie-shaped regions
numbered from 1 to 20. Each of the pie shaped regions is further divided into three parts such that a person
throwing a dart that lands on a specified number scores the value of the number, double the number or
triple the number, depending on which of the three parts the dart falls. If a person hits the bull’s-eye with
probability 0.01, hits a double with probability 0.10, hits a triple with probability 0.05, and misses the dart
board with probability 0.02, what is the probability that 7 throws will result in no bull’s-eye, no triples, a
double twice, and a complete miss once?
P(bull's-eye) = 0.01
P(miss) = 0.02
P(triple) = 0.05
P(double) = 0.10
P(single) = 1 - 0.01 - 0.10 - 0.05 - 0.02 = 0.82
If
● 4 of them is single
● 2 of them were doubles
● 1 of them is a miss
5. A motion by one of the board members of a town proposed that Brgy. San Vicente be annexed to its
adjacent barangay for taxation and fiscal reasons. Half of the 1500 residents of the Brgy. San Vicente
opposed the proposal. If a random sample of 20 were interviewed, what is the probability that at least 3
favor the proposal.
7. Find the probability that a person flipping two coins gets (a) two heads or two tails on the fourth flip; (b)
two tails on the fifth flip.
(A)
g (2,1/4) = (1/4) (3/4)^2-1
g (2) = 3/16
= 0.1875
= 18.75%
(B)
(2, 1/5) = (1/5) (4/5)^2-1
g (2) = 4/25
= 0.16
= 16%
9. Suppose that 1 in 1,000 doctors make an incorrect diagnosis of a patient’s illness. If 10,000 patients are
selected at random, (a) find the probability that 6, 7 or 8 of the patients are told incorrect illnesses? (b) Find
the mean and variance of X representing the number of persons among 10,000 who were incorrectly
diagnosed.
(A)
(B)
Mean = variance = (1 / 1000) (10000)
= 10
