Exercise Chapter 3 Probability Distributions 1. Based on recent records‚ the manager of a car painting center has determined the following probability distribution for the number of customers per day. Suppose the center has the capacity to serve two customers per day. |x |P(X = x) | |0 |0.05 | |1 |0.20 | |2 |0.30 | |3 |0.25 | |4 |0.15 | |5 |0.05 | a. What is the probability

African Problems 2 As it is known‚ human history began in Africa from appearance of first human dated to 3.000.000 years. Nowadays humanity has made a huge progress in social‚ technical‚ scientific spheres. But unfortunately‚ human society has digressed in some cases of social development and there are lots of poor examples. For 3.000.000 year history‚ a human being still has many problems beginning from physical solution of many problems such as fights‚ murders‚ wars ending by many types of discriminations

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Main Problem: How can the ionization chamber detect if the environment is surrounded or has Radon? Sub- Problems: What are the primary sources of radon gas? What elements are found when radon decays? How can this gas cause different kinds of diseases? OBJECTIVE: Build a simple ionization chamber that is capable of detecting fairly low levels of radiation BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Radon is a cancer-causing gas. It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil
