An estate agent sells properties at a mean rate of 7 per week. 1 Suggest a suitable model to represent the number of properties sold in a randomly chosen week. Give two reasons to support your model. 2 Find the probability that in any randomly chosen week the estate agent sells exactly 5 properties. 3 Using a suitable approximation find the probability that during a 24 week period the estate agent sells more than 181 properties.
Calls received by a car rescue service occur independently and at a constant average rate of 3 per minute. a. Find the probability that, in a randomly chosen period of 1 minute, the number of calls received by the service is (I) none (II) at least3 (IIID between 2 and 5 (inclusive) b. Find the probability that, in a randomly chosen period of 4 minute, the number of calls received by the service is exactly 14. Find the probability that,...
A real estate agent works 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. The average number of sales call this agent gets is 6 per day. Furthermore, assume that the probability of a sales call for this agent is the same for any two days and the sales call in one day are independent of sales call on any other day. Using this information to answer the following questions (40 through 43) pls show work 40. What is the probability...

suppose the number of deaths of a certain cockroach population occur independently at a rate of 3 deaths/day i) find the probability of having 3 cockroach deaths in a day ii) if we consider a 20 day sample period, what is the probability that at most 2 of these days have less than 3 deaths? iii) if we consider a random sample of 42 days, what is the probability that the average number of deaths/day is less than 2.5?
Phil Dunphy, a real estate agent, is considering whether he should list an unusual $731,176 house for sale. If he lists it, he will need to spend $4,946 in advertising, staging, and fresh cookies. The current owner has given Phil 6 months to sell the house. If he sells it, he will receive a commission of $23,886. If he is unable to sell the house, he will lose the listing and his expenses. Phil estimates the probability of selling this...
