Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

10 notecards = 3 pages (4 cards per page)

Determine whether the following is a probability distribution. If not, identify the requirement that is not satisfied:

A police department reports that the probabilities that 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 car thefts will be reported in a given day are 0.183, 0.311, 0.264, 0.150, and 0.064, respectively.

back 1

Not a probability distribution. The sum of the P(x)'s is not 1, since 0.9720 ≠ 1.000.

A company manufactures batteries in batches of 25 and there is a 3% rate of defects.

Find the standard deviation for the number of defects per batch.

A machine has 12 identical components which function independently. The probability that a component will fail is 0.2. The machine will stop working if more than three components fail.

Find the probability that the machine will be working.

Suppose you pay $3.00 to roll a fair die with the understanding that you will get back $5.00 for rolling a 1 or a 6, nothing otherwise.

What is your expected value?

The brand name of a certain chain of coffee shops has a 54% recognition rate in the town of Coffleton. An executive from the company wants to verify the recognition rate as the company is interested in opening a coffee shop in the town. He selects a random sample of 10 Coffleton residents.

Find the probability that exactly 4 of the 10 Coffleton residents recognize the brand name.

The Acme Candy Company claims that 8% of the jawbreakers it produces actually result in a broken jaw. Suppose 9571 persons are selected at random from those who have eaten a jawbreaker produced at Acme Candy Company.

Would it be unusual for this sample of 9571 to contain 797 persons with broken jaws?

back 7

No, 797 people are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Determine whether the following is a random variable, and if it is, whether it is discrete or continuous:

The number of pixels in a digital photo.

The probabilities that a batch of 4 computers will contain 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 defective computers are 0.4521, 0.3970, 0.1307, 0.0191, and 0.0010, respectively.

Find the standard deviation for the probability distribution.
