The document presents two challenging probability problems involving different distributions: Problem 1 involves a binomial distribution to calculate probabilities related to the number of students out of 42 that used Google as a source for a term paper. Problem 2 involves a Poisson distribution to calculate accident probabilities on a stretch of road based on a mean of 7.6 accidents per month. It asks to find several probabilities, check the mean and variance, and plot the Poisson distribution against a binomial distribution. The document also presents a third problem involving calculations and probabilities for a standard normal distribution and a general normal distribution based on students' exam scores. It asks to find probabilities, plot the distributions, and calculate how many students' scores fall within certain ranges.

Challenging Experiments:

Problem 1: A recent national study showed that approximately 55.8% of college students have
used Google as a source in at least one of their term papers. Let X equal the number
of students in a random sample of size n = 42 who have used Google as a source:

1. How is X distributed?
2. Sketch the probability mass function (roughly).
3. Sketch the cumulative distribution function (roughly).
4. Find the probability that X is equal to 17.
5. Find the probability that X is at most 13.
6. Find the probability that X is bigger than 11.
7. Find the probability that X is at least 15.
8. Find the probability that X is between 16 and 19, inclusive
9. Give the mean of X, denoted E(X).
10. Give the variance of X.
11. Give the standard deviation of X.
12. Find E(4X + 51:324)
13. Compare mean and variance

Problem 2: (Traffic accident problem)

The number of traffic accidents that occur on a particular stretch of road during a month follows a
Poisson distribution with a mean of 7.6.

1. Find the probability that less than three accidents will occur next month on
this stretch of road.
2. Find the probability of observing exactly three accidents on this stretch of
road next month.
3. Find the probability that the next two months will both result in four
accidents each occurring on this stretch of road.
4. Check the mean and variance of the poisson distribution
5. Plot the Poisson distribution and compare with binomial distribution
