(ii) 2/8
(iii) other (specify): ______________

Q5. An electrical firm manufactures light bulbs that have a life, before burn-out, that is normally distributed with mean equal to 800 hours and a standard deviation of 40 hours. Find the probability that a bulb burns between 778 and 834 hours.
Q6. Suppose that 10% of a given population has benign chronic flatulence. Suppose that there is a standard screening test for benign chronic flatulence that has a 90% chance of correctly detecting that one has the disease, and a 10% chance of a false positive (erroneously reporting that one has the disease when one does not). We pick a person at random from the population (so that everyone has the same chance of being picked) and test him/her. The test is positive. What is the chance that the person has the disease?
