3.Using the binomial PMF, when p=.6 and n=8 what is P(X=7)? (Answer to the third decimal place).
4.The probability of a getting a new sales contract with any given client is .24. A sales representative works with 14 clients this week. What is the expected number of contracts the sales representative will get this week? (Answer to the second decimal place.)
5.The probability of a getting a new sales contract with any given client is .44. A sales representative works with 8 clients this week. What is the probability he will get exactly 3 contracts this week? (Answer to the third decimal place.)
6.A telemarketer will make 25 calls in one hour. The probability of making a sale on any given call is .09. What is the probability that he will make at least one sale during the hour? (Answer to the third decimal place.)
7.The vice president of the fraud department has 21 employees that report to her. During a holiday period she must make work assignments to ensure that someone is on call each day. There are five days that she must cover and she will assign no one to more than one day. How many different combinations of workers assigned for the holiday week are possible?
