4. A human gene carries a certain disease from the mother to the child with a probability rate of 20%. That is, there is a 20% chance that the child becomes infected with the disease. Suppose a female carrier of the gene has four children. Assume that the infections of the four children are independent of one another. Find the probability that at least two of the children does not get the disease from their mother. (a) 0.9984 (b) 0.9728 (c) 0.9744 (d) 0.0256 5. In a fair die tossing experiment, the mean and variance of random variable X = number of dot(s) observed in a single toss are: (a) 3.50 and 2.92 (b) 3.50 and 11.67 (c) 3.50 and 15.17 (d) 3.50 and 18.00 6. It a recent study of college students indicated that 30% of all college students had at least one tattoo.

(a) 4.5 (b) 3.15 (c) 1.77 (d) 10.5 7. At an investment firm, 62% of the buy recommendations on stocks are made by advisor A. The remaining 38% of the buy recommendations are made by advisor B.
