Problem 9E A store selling newspapers orders only n = 4 of a certain newspaper because the manager does not get many calls for that publication. If the number of requests per day follows a Poisson distribution with mean 3, (a) What is the expected value of the number sold?

Problem 7E With probability 0.001, a prize of $499 is won in the Michigan Daily Lottery when a $1 straight bet is placed. Let Y equal the number of $499 prizes won by a gambler after placing n straight bets. Note that Y is b(n, 0.001). After placing n = 2000 $1 bets, the gambler is behind or even if {Y ? 4}. Use the Poisson distribution to approximate P(Y ? 4) when n = 2000.

(a) If the probability of an individual not showing up is 0.05, assuming independence, what is the probability that the airline can accommodate all the passengers who do show up? (b) If the airline must return the $300 price plus a penalty of $400 to each passenger that cannot get on the flight, what is the expected payout (penalty plus ticket refund) that the airline will pay?
