Example 3 A survey of cars a certain stretch of highway during morning commute hours showed that 70% had only one occupant, 15% had 2, 10% had 3, 3% had 4, and 2% had 5. Let X represent the number of occupants in a randomly chosen car. 1. Find the probability mass function of X, and graph it. 2. Find the probability that the car had at least 3 occupants. 3. Find the probability that the car had at most...

In order to test whether a certain coin is fair, it is tossed ten times and the number of heads (X) is counted. Let p be the "head probability". We wish to test the null hypothesis: p = 0.5 against the alternative hypothesis: p > 0.5 at a significance level of 5%. (a) Suppose we will reject the null hypothesis when X is smaller than h. Find the value of h. (b) What is the probability of committing a type...
