A random number N of students take a qualifying exam. A grade of 70 or more earns a pass. Suppose binomial (20, 0.3). If each student has probability of making 70 or more, what is the probability all will pass? Ten or more will pass?
gN = ibinom(20,0.3,0:20);
gY = [0.3 0.7];
gendDo not forget zero coefficients for missing powers
Enter gen fn COEFFICIENTS for gN gNEnter gen fn COEFFICIENTS for gY gY
Results are in N, PN, Y, PY, D, PD, PMay use jcalc or jcalcf on N, D, P
To view the distribution, call for gD.Pall = (D==20)*PD'
Pall = 2.7822e-14pall = (0.3*0.7)^20 % Alternate: use D binomial (pp0)
pall = 2.7822e-14P10 = (D>= 10)*PD'
P10 = 0.0038 Five hundred questionnaires are sent out. The probability of a reply is 0.6. The probability that a reply will be favorable is 0.75. What is the probability of at least200, 225, 250 favorable replies?
n = 500;
p = 0.6;p0 = 0.75;
D = 0:500;PD = ibinom(500,p*p0,D);
k = [200 225 250];
P = zeros(1,3);for i = 1:3
P(i) = (D>=k(i))*PD';
enddisp(P)

The number of incoming messages N 1 on line one in one hour is Poisson (50); on line 2 the number is Poisson (45). On incoming line 1 the messages have probability of leaving on outgoing line a and of leaving on line b. The messages coming in on line 2 have probability of leaving on line a. Under the usual independence assumptions, what is the distribution of outgoing messages on line a?What are the probabilities of at least 30, 35, 40 outgoing messages on line a?
m1a = 50*0.33; m2a = 45*0.47; ma = m1a + m2a;
PNa = cpoisson(ma,[30 35 40])

What is the distribution for the number of Mac sales? What is the distribution for the total number of Mac and Dell sales?
Mac sales Poisson (30*0.4 + 65*0.2 = 25); HP sales Poisson (30*0.2 + 65*0.3 = 25.5); total Mac plus HP sales Poisson(50.5).
