According to the American Red Cross, about one out of nine people in the U.S. have Type B blood. Suppose the blood types of people arriving at a blood drive are independent. In this case, the number of Type B blood types that arrive roughly follows the Poisson distribution.
a. If people arrive, how many on average would be expected to have Type B blood?
b. What is the probability that over people out of these 100 have type B blood?
c. What is the probability that more than people arrive before a person with type B blood is found?
Find the probability that falls in the shaded area.

Use the following information to answer the next eleven exercises. The age of cars in the staff parking lot of a suburban college is uniformly distributed from six months (0.5 years) to 9.5 years

A subway train arrives every eight minutes during rush hour. We are interested in the length of time a commuter must wait for a train to arrive. The time follows a uniform distribution. a. Define the random variable. X = _______ b. X ~ _______ c. Graph the probability distribution. d. f(x) = _______ e. μ = _______ f. σ = _______ g. Find the probability that the commuter waits less than one minute. h. Find the probability that the commuter waits between three and four minutes. i. Sixty percent of commuters wait more than how long for the train? State this in a probability question, similarly to parts g and h, draw the picture, and find the probabilit
