The mean number of sales per day at a telecommunications centre is $\var{thismany}$.
Employees receive a warning if they make less than $\var{number1}$ per day.
Assuming a Poisson distribution for $X$, the number of sales per day, write down the value of $\lambda$.
$X \sim \operatorname{Poisson}(\lambda)$
$\lambda = $ question.score feedback.none
Find $\operatorname{E}[X]$ the expected the number of sales per day.
$\operatorname{E}[X]=$ question.score feedback.none
Find the standard deviation for daily sales..
Standard deviation = question.score feedback.none (to 3 decimal places).
There's nothing more to do from here.
Find the probability that a randomly selected employee makes exactly $\var{thisnumber}$ sales.
$\operatorname{P}(X=\var{thisnumber})=$ question.score feedback.none (to 3 decimal places).
Find the probability that a randomly selected employee receives a warning.
Probability = question.score feedback.none (to 3 decimal places).
There's nothing more to do from here.
1. $X \sim \operatorname{Poisson}(\var{thismany})$, so $\lambda = \var{thismany}$.
2. The expectation is given by $\operatorname{E}[X]=\lambda=\var{thismany}$
3. $\operatorname{stdev}(X)=\sqrt{\lambda}=\sqrt{\var{thismany}}=\var{sd}$ to 3 decimal places.
1. \[ \begin{eqnarray*}\operatorname{P}(X = \var{thisnumber}) &=& \frac{e ^ { -\var{thismany}}\var{thismany} ^ {\var{thisnumber}}} {\var{thisnumber}!}\\& =& \var{prob1} \end{eqnarray*} \] to 3 decimal places.
2. If an employee receives a warning then he or she must have sold less than 3.
Hence we need to find:
\[ \begin{eqnarray*}\operatorname{P}(X < \var{number1})& =& \simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + {v}*P(X = 2)}\\& =& \simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{e ^ { -thismany} + {thismany} * e ^ { -thismany} + {v} * (({thismany} ^ 2 * e ^ { -thismany}) / 2)} \\&=& \var{prob2} \end{eqnarray*} \]
to 3 decimal places.
$\var{thismany}$ % of biscuits made by a baker are chocolate chip cookies.
$\var{number1}$ biscuits are selected at random.
Assuming a binomial distribution for $X$ , the number of chocolate chip cookies, write down the values of $n$ and $p$.
$X \sim \operatorname{bin}(n,p)$
$n=$ question.score feedback.none $p=$ question.score feedback.none
Find $\operatorname{E}[X]$ the expected number of chocolate chip cookies in our sample:
$\operatorname{E}[X]=$ question.score feedback.none
Find the standard deviation for the number of chocolate chip cookies in our sample:
Standard deviation = question.score feedback.none (to 3 decimal places).
There's nothing more to do from here.
Find the probability that our selection contains exactly $\var{thisnumber}$ chocolate chip cookies.
$\operatorname{P}(X=\var{thisnumber})=$ question.score feedback.none (to 3 decimal places).
Find the probability that our selection contains no more than 2 chocolate chip cookies.
Probability = question.score feedback.none (to 3 decimal places).

1. $X \sim \operatorname{bin}(\var{number1},\var{prob})$, so $n= \var{number1},\;\;p=\var{prob}$.
2. The expectation is given by $\operatorname{E}[X]=n\times p=\var{number1}\times \var{prob}=\var{number1*prob}$
3. $\operatorname{stdev}(X)=\sqrt{n\times p \times (1-p)}=\sqrt{\var{number1}\times \var{prob} \times \var{1-prob}}=\var{sd}$ to 3 decimal places.
1. \[ \begin{eqnarray*}\operatorname{P}(X = \var{thisnumber}) &=& \dbinom{\var{number1}}{\var{thisnumber}}\times\var{prob}^{\var{thisnumber}}\times(1-\var{prob})^{\var{number1-thisnumber}}\\& =& \var{comb(number1,thisnumber)} \times\var{prob}^{\var{thisnumber}}\times\var{1-prob}^{\var{number1-thisnumber}}\\&=&\var{prob1}\end{eqnarray*} \] to 3 decimal places.
2.
\[ \begin{eqnarray*}\operatorname{P}(X \leq \var{thatnumber})& =& \simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + {v}*P(X = 2)}\\& =& \simplify[zeroFactor,zeroTerm,unitFactor]{{1 -prob} ^ {number1}+ {number1} *{prob} *{1 -prob} ^ {number1 -1} + {v} * ({number1} * {number1 -1}/2)* {prob} ^ 2 *( {1 -prob} ^ {number1 -2})}\\& =& \var{prob2}\end{eqnarray*} \]

The electricity consumption, $X$, of a frozen foods warehouse each week in the summer months is normally distributed with mean 1200k and standard deviation 60k Wh.
i.e. \[X \sim \operatorname{N}(\var{m},\var{s}^2)\]
Find the probability that in a particular week the electricity consumption is less than 1110 k Wh:
Probability = question.score feedback.none (to 4 decimal places)
Find the probability that in a particular week the electricity consumption is greater than 1245 k Wh:
Probability = question.score feedback.none (to 4 decimal places)

1. Converting to $\operatorname{N}(0,1)$
$\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{P(X < {lower}) = P(Z < ({lower} -{m}) / {s}) = P(Z < {lower-m}/{s}) = 1 -P(Z < {m-lower}/{s})} = 1 -\var{p} = \var{precround(1 -p,4)}$ to 4 decimal places.
2. Converting to $\operatorname{N}(0,1)$
$\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{P(X > {upper}) = P(Z > ({upper} -{m}) / {s}) = P(Z > {upper-m}/{s}) = 1 -P(Z < {upper-m}/{s})} = 1-\var{p1} = \var{precround(1 -p1,4)}$ to 4 decimal places.
A new supermarket plans to open somewhere on the outskirts of a town. In fact, $X$, the distance of a new supermarket from the town centre is Uniformly distributed between $\var{lower}$ metres and $\var{upper}$ metres i.e.
\[X \sim \operatorname{U}(\var{lower},\var{upper})\]
Find $\operatorname{E}[X]$, the expected distance in metres of the new supermarket from the town centre:
$\operatorname{E}[X]=$ question.score feedback.nonem (to 3 decimal places).
Also find the variance $\operatorname{Var}(X)$:
$\operatorname{Var}(X)=$ question.score feedback.none (to 3 decimal places).

Find the probability that the supermarket opens within $\var{thisdis}$ kilometres of the town centre.
$P(X \le \var{thisdis}\textrm{km})=$ question.score feedback.none (to 3 decimal places).
There's nothing more to do from here.
For a uniform distribution \[X \sim \operatorname{U}(\var{lower},\var{upper})\] we have:
$\displaystyle \operatorname{E}[X] = \frac{\var{lower}+\var{upper}}{2}=\var{ans1}$m
$\displaystyle \operatorname{Var}[X] = \frac{(\var{upper}-\var{lower})^2}{12}=\frac{(\var{upper-lower})^2}{12}=\var{ans2}$ to 3 decimal places.
$\displaystyle P(X \le \var{thisdis}\textrm{km})=\frac{\var{thisdis}\times 1000 -\var{lower}}{\var{upper}-\var{lower}}=\var{ans3}$ to 3 decimal places.

If $X \sim \operatorname{exp}(\lambda)$ then $\displaystyle \operatorname{E}[X] =\frac{1}{\lambda}$ and $\displaystyle \operatorname{Var}(X)=\frac{1}{\lambda^2}$.
Also $P(X \lt a)=1-e^{-\lambda a}$.
If $X \sim \operatorname{exp}(\var{ra})$ then:
$\displaystyle \operatorname{E}[X] =\frac{1}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{\var{ra}}=\var{ans1}$ to 3 decimal places.
$\displaystyle \operatorname{Var}(X) =\frac{1}{\lambda^2}=\frac{1}{\var{ra}^2}=\var{ans2}$ to 3 decimal places.
$P(X \lt \var{thistime}) = 1 -(e ^ {-\var{ ra} \times \var{thistime}}) = 1 -(e ^ { -\var{ra * thistime}}) = \var{ans3}$ to 3 decimal places.
