are called, what is the probability
that less than 6 will not be
available to serve?

and standard deviation for this
distribution.

The EPA reports that 81% of
Americans do not recycle

One airline has found that 9% of
the people who make
reservations do not show. If the
airline has accepted 220
reservations for a plane that has
210 seats, what is the probability
that there are enough seats for
all the passengers who show up?

about 22% of American children under
the age of 6 live in households with

A random sample of 400 children under
the age of 6 is taken. What are the

in the sample who come from households
with incomes below the official poverty
level?

The probability that a student is
tardy to Statistics class is 0.012.
