A company has carried out a personnel selection process.
a) ( 1.25 points) It is known that $40 \%$ of the total number of applicants have been selected in the process. If among the applicants there was a group of 8 friends, calculate the probability that at least 2 of them have been selected.
b) (1.25 points) The scores obtained by the applicants in the selection process follow a normal distribution, X, with mean 5.6 and standard deviation $\sigma$. Knowing that the probability of obtaining a score $\mathrm { X } \leq 8.2$ is 0.67, calculate $\sigma$.

The probability that a fish of a certain species survives more than 5 years is 10\%. Find: a) (1 point) If in an aquarium we have 10 fish of this species born this year, find the probability that at least two of them are still alive in 5 years. b) ( 1.5 points) If in a tank of a fish farm there are 200 fish of this species born this same year, using an approximation by the corresponding normal distribution, find the probability that after 5 years at least 10 of them have survived.

According to the National Institute of Statistics, during the last quarter of 2020, the percentage of women belonging to the set of Boards of Directors of companies that make up the Ibex-35 was 27.7 \%. Ten of these board members were gathered. a) ( 0.75 points) Find the probability that half were women. b) ( 0.75 points) Calculate the probability that there was at least one man. c) (1 point) Determine, approximating by a normal distribution, the probability that at a congress of two hundred board members of these companies there would be at least 35 \% female representation.

In an autonomous community, three out of every five second-year high school students are enrolled in Mathematics II. Six students are randomly selected from all second-year high school students. It is requested: a) ( 0.75 points) Calculate the probability that exactly four of them are enrolled in Mathematics II. b) (0.75 points) Calculate the probability that at least one of them is enrolled in Mathematics II. c) (1 point) If an institute has 120 students enrolled in second-year high school, calculate, approximating the binomial distribution by a normal distribution, the probability that more than 60 of these students are enrolled in Mathematics II.

65\% of 18-year-old university students who attempt the practical driving exam pass it on the first try. 10 randomly selected 18-year-old university students who have already passed the practical driving exam are chosen.\ Find:\ a) (0.75 points) Calculate the probability that exactly 3 of them needed more than one attempt to pass the practical driving exam.\ b) (0.75 points) Calculate the probability that at least one of them needed more than one attempt to pass the practical driving exam.\ c) (1 point) Using a normal distribution approximation, determine the probability that, given 60 of these university students, at least half passed the practical driving exam on the first try.

According to data from the Community of Madrid, in the 2021-2022 season the coverage of the flu vaccine among people over 65 years old was 73.2%. a) ( 1.5 points) In the face of an epidemic outbreak situation, the authorities decide to restrict those gatherings in which the probability that there is more than one unvaccinated person is greater than 0.5. Assuming that attendees at a gathering constitute a random sample, should gatherings of 5 people over 65 years old be restricted? And gatherings of 7 people over 65 years old? b) ( 1 point) A random sample of 500 people over 65 years old is taken. Calculate, approximating by the appropriate normal distribution, the probability that at least 350 of them are vaccinated against the flu.
Problem 6
Company A owns multiple factories $i ( i = 1,2 , \cdots )$. Suppose that the probability of producing defective goods in a factory $i$ is $P _ { i }$, and that $N _ { i }$ goods are randomly sampled and shipped from the factory. Here, $P _ { i }$ is sufficiently small, and each factory does not affect any other.
I. Show the probability $f ( i , k )$, which is the probability of $k$ defective goods existing within $N _ { i }$ goods shipped from a factory $i$. Here, $k$ is a non-negative integer.
II. Show that $f ( i , k ) \rightarrow \frac { e ^ { - \lambda _ { i } } \lambda _ { i } ^ { k } } { k ! }$ when $N _ { i } \rightarrow \infty$. Here, when calculating the limit of $f ( i , k ) , \lambda _ { i }$ is a constant, where $\lambda _ { i } = N _ { i } P _ { i }$.
In the following questions, assume that $f ( i , k ) = \frac { e ^ { - \lambda _ { i } } \lambda _ { i } ^ { k } } { k ! }$.
III. Suppose that goods are shipped from two factories as shown in Table 1. Find the probability of two defective goods being contained within all shipped goods.
\begin{tabular}{ c } Factory number
$( i )$
&
Probability of defectiveness
$\left( P _ { i } \right)$
&
Number of shipped goods
$\left( N _ { i } \right)$
\hline 1 & 0.01 & 500 \hline 2 & 0.02 & 300 \hline \end{tabular}
IV. Find the probability of $k$ defective goods being contained within all shipped goods under the same conditions as in Question III.
V. Suppose that $P _ { i } = 0.001 i$ in five factories $i ( i = 1,2,3,4,5 )$ and the same number ($N _ { c}$) of goods are shipped from all these factories.
Find the maximum value of $N _ { c }$ for which the expected number of defective goods out of all shipped goods is equal to or less than 3.
