This examination has four parts, with a total of 39 questions. You must answer all questions in this examination. Record your answers to the Part I multiple-choice questions, using a No.2 pencil, on the separate answer sheet provided to you. Write your answers to the questions in Parts II, III, and IV directly in this test booklet. All work for Parts II, III, and IV should be written in pen, except graphs and drawings, which should be done in pencil. Clearly indicate the necessary steps, including appropriate formula substitutions, diagrams, graphs, charts, etc. The fonnulas that you may need to answer some questions in this examination are found at the end of the examination. This sheet is perforated so you may remove it from this booklet. Scrap paper is not permitted for any part of this examination, but you may use the blank spaces in this booklet as scrap paper. A perforated sheet of scrap graph paper is provided at the end of this booklet for any question for which graphing may be helpful but is not required. You may remove this sheet from this booklet. Any work done on this sheet of scrap graph paper will not be scored. When you have completed the examination, you must sign the statement printed at the end of the answer sheet, indicating that you had no unlawful knowledge of the questions or answers prior to the examination and that you have neither given nor received assistance in answering any of the questions during the examination. Your answer sheet cannot be accepted ifyou fail to sign this declaration.
Notice ... A graphing calculator and a straightedge (ruler) must be available for you to use while taking this examination.
The use of any communications device is strictly prohibited when taking this examination. If you use any communications device, no matter how briefly, your examination will be invalidated and no score will be calculated for you.

A study done over a period of many years determined that the percentage of black vests worn is 60o/c. Ifthere are 10 men at a club meeting on a given night, what is the probability, to the nearest thollsandt lz, that at least 8 of the vests worn will be black?
