1. On average, 5 cars arrive at the drive-up window of a bank every hour. Define the
random variable X to be the number of cars arriving in any hour.

a) What is the appropriate probability distribution for the random variable X? Explain how
X satisfies the properties of the distribution.
b) What is the probability that exactly 5 cars will arrive in any given hour.
c) What is the probability that no more than 5 cars will arrive in any given hour.

2. Suppose the variable X is normally distributed with a mean of 200 and a variance of
625.

a) What proportion of X-values lies between 180 and 205?


b) Below what value do 30% of X-values lie?
c) What proportion of X values are greater than 210?
d) What proportion of X values are less than or equal to 206?
