An airline wants to find out how long it takes for a travel agent to complete an airline ticket order from a computer terminal. Assume that the mean transaction time is 150 seonds. also assume that the population of transaction times has normal frequency curve. Find the probability that the 150 and 175 seconds to complete if st ...continues
Draw a tree diagram that illustrates the following. Three-fifths of kindergarten children are bussed to school, while two-fifths of the first to fifth graders are bussed. The school has grades K through 5, and 17.5% of the students are in kindergarten. Determine the probability that a child chosen at random from the school is ...continues

Determine Probability distribution
In a certain carnival game a player pays $1 and then tosses a fair coin until either a "head" occurs or he has tossed the coinfour times. He receives fifty cents for each toss. Determine the probability distribution for the experiment of playing the game and observing the player's earnings.
An exam consists of six "true or false" questions. what is the probability that a person can get five or more correct by just guessing?
