Chapter 3, Problem 115kinda

(modified by me)
An article in Information Security Technical Report, Malicious SoftwarePast,
Present and Future (Vol. 9, 2004, pp. 618), provided the following data on the
top 10 malicious software instances for 2002 (Fig. below). The clear leader in the
number of registered incidences for the year 2002 was the Internet worm Klez,
and it is still one of the most widespread threats. This virus was first detected on
October 26, 2001, and it has held the top spot among malicious software for the
longest period in the history of virology. Suppose that 27 malicious software
instances are reported. Assume that the malicious sources can be assumed to be
independent. Round your answers to two decimal places.

(a) What is the probability that 15 or fewer of the 27 instances are Klez?
(b) What is the probability that fewer than 15 of the 27 instances are Klez?
(c) What is the mean and (d) standard deviation of the number of Klez instances
among the 27 reported?
(d) What is the probability that 20 or more of the 27 instances are Klez?


Chapter 3, Problem 129
A telecommunication station is designed to receive a maximum of
8 calls per second. If the number of calls to the station is
modeled as a Poisson random variable with a mean of 12 calls
per second, what is the probability that the number of calls will
exceed the maximum design constraint of the station? Round
your answers to four decimal places (e.g. 98.7654).
