A certain component is critical to the operation of an electrical system and must be replaced immediately upon failure. If the mean lifetime of this type of component is 100 hours and its standard deviation is 30 hours, how many of these components must be in stock so that the probability that the system is in continual operation for the next 2000 hours is at least 0.95?
Ithas, a meanand standard deviation, the ratiois called the measurement signal-to-noise ratio. The idea is that can be expressed as, representing the signal and the noise. If we defineit as the relative deviation from its signal (or mean), show that for,

A lake contains 4 distinct types of fish. Suppose that each fish caught is equally likely to be any one of these types. Let Y denote the number of fish that need be caught to obtain at least one of each type.
(a) Give an interval (a, b) such that
(b) Using the one-sided Chebyshev inequality, how many fish need we plan on catching so as to be at least 90 percent certain of obtaining at least one of each type?
Fifty numbers are rounded off to the nearest integer and then summed. If the individual round-off errors are uniformly distributed over (鈭.5, .5), approximate the probability that the resultant sum differs from the exact sum by more than 3.
Each new book donated to a library must be processed. Suppose that the time it takes to process a book has a mean of minutes and a standard deviation of minutes. If a librarian has books to process,
(a) approximate the probability that it will take more than minutes to process all these books;
(b) approximate the probability that at least books will be processed in the first minutes. What assumptions have you made?
