We can now address questions first posed by Anne Jones in the introductory case of this chapter. Recall that Anne is concerned about staffing needs at the Starbucks that she manages. She has specific questions about the probability distribution of customer arrivals at her store. Anne believes that the typical Starbucks customer averages 18 visits to the store over a 30-day month. She has the following questions: How many visits should Anne expect in a 5-day period from a typical Starbucks customer? What is the probability that a customer visits the chain five times in a 5-day period? What is the probability that a customer visits the chain no more than two times in a 5-day period? What is the probability that a customer visits the chain at least three times in a 5-day period?

Craft breweries that make beer in small batches are experiencing a spectacular growth in bars and liquor stores across the nation. The craft beer industry now boasts of 4,269 breweries, representing a 12% market share of the total beer market in the United States (Fortune, March 22, 2016). It has been estimated that 1.5 craft breweries open every day. Assume this number represents an average that remains constant over time. What is the probability that no more than 10 craft breweries open every week? What is the probability that exactly 10 craft breweries open every week?

Wooden boxes are commonly used for the packaging and transportation of mangoes. A convenience stores in Morganville, New Jersey, regularly buys mangoes from a wholesale dealer. For every shipment, the manager randomly inspects five mangoes from a box containing 20 mangoes for damages due to transportation. Suppose the chosen box contains exactly two damaged mangoes. a. What is the probability that one out of five mangoes used in the inspection is damaged? b. If the manager decides to reject the shipment if one or more mangoes are damaged, what is the probability that the shipment will be rejected? c. Calculate the expected value, the variance, and the standard deviation of the number of damaged mangoes used in the inspection.

Employment for management occupations is projected to grow 6% from 2014 to 2024, resulting in about 505,400 new jobs (Bureau of Labor Statistics, December 2015). Among 25 applicants for a management position, 15 have college degrees in business. Suppose four applicants are randomly chosen for interviews. What is the probability that none of the applicants has a college degree in business? What is the probability that no more than two of the applicants have college degrees in business?
