From Donny:
An investment will be worth $1,000, $2,000, or $5,000 at the end of the
year. The probabilities of these values are .25, .60, and .15, respectively.
Determine the mean and variance of the worth of the investment.

From Patrick:
Heres a question i cant figure out:
a small airline company has only three flights per day. The number of
delayed flights per day is regarded as a random variable, and I'm
supposed to calculate the expected
value and standard deviation of the number of delays.
the probability distribution looks like:
No. of Delays: 0 1 2 3
Prob. of delay: 05. 0.3 .1 .1

From Gary:
In a law school class, the entering students averaged about 160 on the last
LSAT; the standard deviation was about 8. The historgram of the lLSAT
scores follwed the normal curve reasonable well.
Q. About what percentage of the class scored below 166?
Q. One student was 0.5 above average on the last LSAT, about what percentage
of the students had lower scores than he did?
