1. When things are operating properly, E-Bank United, an Internet bank, can process a maximum of 25 electronic transfers every minute during the busiest periods of the day. If it receives more transfer requests than this, then the bank's computer system will become so overburdened that it will slow to the point that no electronic transfers can be handled. If during the busiest periods of the day requests for electronic transfers arrive at the rate of 170 per 10-minute period on average, what is the probability that the system will be overwhelmed by requests? Assume that the process can be described using a Poisson distribution.

2. A stock portfolio contains 20 stocks. Of these stocks, 10 are considered "large-cap" stocks, 5 are "mid-cap," and 5 are "small cap." The portfolio manager has been asked by his client to develop a report that highlights 7 randomly selected stocks. When she presents her report to the client, all 7 of the stocks are large-cap stocks. The client is very suspicious that the manager has not randomly selected the stocks. She believes that the chances of all 7 of the stocks being large cap must be very low. Compute the probability of all 7 being large cap and comment on the concerns of the client.
