You have a small business making and delivering box lunches. It costs you $2.10 per lunch plus $75 for operating costs. If the number of lunches you sell is shown below, find the expected cost for making and delivering the box lunches as well as the standard deviation.
x= # lunches 200 240 280 320 360
p(x) 0.15 0.17 0.28 0.32 0.08
The cost to rent a car is $45 per day and $.25 per mile. The distributions for each are shown below. Find the expected cost to rent a car and the standard deviation of the cost.

Using the calculator to find binomial probabilities.• To find exactly 1 probability:
binompdf(n, p, x)
Press: 2nd Distribution
0 binompdf(n,p,x)
n – for number of trials
p – for given percent
x - # we want
A tourist bureau for a western state conducted a study, which showed that 65% of the people who seek information about the state actually come for a visit. The office receives 15 requests for information on the state. Find the probability that exactly 10 visit.
• Binompdf(15, 0.65, 10)
• You should get 0.2123 or 21.2%
Remember: PDF is for exactly
To accumulate probabilities – adding more than one- we use binomcdf.
• It accumulates starting with x = 0 up to the value you want.
• It’s under 2nd distribution
A binomcdf (n, p, x)
A survey found that 30% of teens get spending money from part time jobs. If 5 teens are selected at random find the probability that at most 3 of them have part time jobs.

On the calculator:
Binomcdf(5, 0.30,3)
A survey found that 30% of teens get spending money from part time jobs. If 5 teens are selected at random find the probability that at least 3 of them have part time jobs.
x p(x)
0 0.16807
1 0.36015
2 0.3087
3 0.1323
4 0.02835
5 0.00243
0.16308
On the calculator:
Binomcdf(5, 0.30,2)= 0.83692
1 - Binomcdf(5, 0.30,2) = 0.16308
To do the bottom of the list:• You accumulate the top part of the distribution.
• Subtract from 1.
A survey found that 30% of teens get spending money from part time jobs. If 5 teens are selected at random find the probability that more than 3 of them have part time jobs.

Tim did not study for his quiz with 5 multiple choice (A, B, C, D) questions. Hint: Probability of correct choice is ¼ = 0.25!• What is the probability that he got exactly 3 correct?
• What is the probability that he got at most 2 correct?
• What is the probability that he got more than 3 correct?
A certain type of penicillin will cause a skin rash in 35% of the patients receiving it.
• If the penicillin is given to a random sample of 15 patients what is the probability that at least 7 will have a skin rash?
• If it is given to a random sample of 9 patients, what is the probability that at least one will have a skin rash?
• If it is given to a random sample of 12 patients, what is the probability that exactly 5 will have a skin rash?
The probability that a person gets a job within a month of graduating from college is 78%.
• Find the probability that in a group of 8 recent graduates, more than 6 found a job.
• Find the probability that in a group of 12, at least 9 found a job.
