In Example 5.4.7, with位=0.2 andp=0.1, compute the probability that we would detect at least two oocysts after filtering 100 liters of water.
The probability of detecting at least two oocysts after filtering 100 liters of water is 0.594.

An airline sells 200 tickets for a certain flight on an airplane with only 198 seats because, on average, 1 percent of purchasers of airline tickets do not appear for their flight departure. Determine the probability that everyone who appears for the departure of this flight will have a seat.
Three men A, B, and C shoot at a target. Suppose that A shoots three times and the probability that he will hit the target on any given shot is\({\raise0.7ex\hbox{\({\bf{1}}\)} \!\mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\bf{1}} {\bf{8}}}}\right.\ } \!\lower0.7ex\hbox{\({\bf{8}}\)}}\), B shoots five times and the probability that he will hit the target on any given shot is\({\raise0.7ex\hbox{\({\bf{1}}\)} \!\mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\bf{1}} {\bf{4}}}}\right.\ } \!\lower0.7ex\hbox{\({\bf{4}}\)}}\), and C shoots twice and the probability that he will hit the target on any given shot is\({\raise0.7ex\hbox{\({\bf{1}}\)} \!\mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\bf{1}} {\bf{2}}}}\right.\ } \!\lower0.7ex\hbox{\({\bf{2}}\)}}\). What is the expected number of times that the target will be hit?
If the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit at a certain location is normally distributed with a mean of 68 degrees and a standard deviation of 4 degrees, what is the distribution of the temperature in degrees Celsius at the same location?
Suppose that X has the gamma distribution with parameters 伪 and 尾, and c is a positive constant. Show that cX has the gamma distribution with parameters 伪 and 尾/肠.
In a clinical trial with two treatment groups, the probability of success in one treatment group is 0.5, and the probability of success in the other is 0.6. Suppose that there are five patients in each group. Assume that the outcomes of all patients are independent. Calculate the probability that the first group will have at least as many successes as the second group.
