Quiz Q2
• After all students have left the classroom, a
statistics professor notices that three bags were
left under desks. At the beginning of the next
lecture, the professor distributes the three bags
in a completely random fashion to each of the
three students who claim to have left bags. Let
X denote the number of students who receive
their own bag. Determine the pmf of X.

Quiz Q4
• Customers are used to evaluate preliminary product
designs. In the past, 95% of highly successful products,
60% of moderately successful products, and 10% of
poor products received good reviews. In addition, 40%
of product designs have been highly successful, 35%
have been moderately successful, and 25% have been
poor products.

Example
• During a particular period a university’s
information technology office received 20
service orders for problems with printers, of
which 8 were laser printers and 12 were inkjet
models. A sample of 5 of these service orders
is to be selected for inclusion in a customer
satisfaction survey. What’s the probability of 2
of the selected printers are inkjet models?
