A randomly selected computer chip from a product line is defective with probability of 0.005.  Find the probability that 4 or 5 chips are defective among a random sample of 1000 chips.   

A box contains 2000 red beans and 3000 green beans. Pick up 10 beans at random without replacement. Use X to denote the number of the red beans obtained. What is the distribution of X?

X and Y are two independent random variables having Poisson distributions with means E(X)=3 and E(Y)=5, respectively Find the variance of X+Y.

Adult females have forearm lengths that are normally distributed with mean 17.75 in. and standard deviation 0.65 in. Find the upper quartile length of a female’s forearm – that is, a length x that is exceeded by 25% of adult females.
