The Chuck River Regatta is a sailboat race between three countries and held every Spring. The winner is determined by the team that wins the majority of 15 races held over a twenty day period. America's team was the favorite but not doing well. The America team knew that their average time per race was normally distributed with a mean of 70 minutes with a standard deviation of 3 minutes. It was the day of the 8th race and the America team had not won any of the daily races to this point. They would need to win all the remaining races to win the Regatta. They also calculated that that they would need to have their race time in the lowest 20% of their race time distribution to ensure they win the race. What is the probability the America team wins given we know that they were faster than their average race time? (Use Excel for the whole answer)

a)Assume that arrivals at a local restaurant are Poisson distributed with a mean of 8 per hour. If the restaurant is open for 6 hours per day, what is the probability of at least 50 customers on a given day? b) what is the probability of getting exactly 3 days out of 5 (randomly selected) with at least 50 customers each day?
a)1- poisson(49,48,1) b) binomdist[3,5,1-poisson(49,48,1),0] (Berger Self-Check 143)
Suppose that 55% of all people prefer Coke to Pepsi. If we randomly sample 400 people, what is the probability that the majority of the respondents indicate a preference for Pepsi? Assume each persons opinion is independent
binomdist(199, 400, .55, 1) OR 1 - binomdist(200, 400, .45, 1) (Berger 26)

The daily amount of time that teenagers spend playing XBOX follows a normal distribution. However, the mean and the standard deviation are unknown. 40% of the time, playing time exceeds 48 minutes, 10% of the time, playing time exceeds 60 minutes. What is the mean and standard deviation?
µ = 45.09, σ = 11.65 ** parker doesnt think this will be on the test (berger 34)
