Question
A machine produces parts that are either good (80%), slightly defective (10%), or obviously defective (10%). Produced parts get passed through an automatic inspection machine, which is able to detect any part that is obviously defective and discard it. What is the quality of the parts that make it through the inspection machine and get shipped?

If your dog bites another animal or is on the receiving end of a bite, the vaccine can protect them from a dangerous and potentially fatal illness. Furthermore, in most places, the rabies vaccine for dogs is legally required. The NYC Department of Health wants to know if LESS than 95% of the dogs in the city have been vaccinated with their rabies vaccine. 158,045 of the 165,000 dogs examined had their rabies shots.

Using a 95% confidence level, the upper and lower control limits are: Upper control limit (UCL) = Lower control limit (LCLp) = b) Assume that the airline industry's upper and lower control limits for flights that are not on time are 0.1000 and 0.0300, respectively.

- Suppose that in a survey of 1,000 U.S. residents, 721 residents believed that the amount of violent television programming had increased over the past 10 years, 454 residents believed that the overall quality of television programming had decreased over the past 10 years, and 362 residents believed both. What proportion of the 1,000 U.S. residents believed that either the amount of violent programming had increased or the overall quality of programming had decreased over the past 10 years?

To reduce the number of defective tires that make it to market, the manufacturer uses a special device to test each tire before shipping it out. The test will correctly detect a defective tire 97% of the time. However, the test will incorrectly indicate a good quality tire is defective 6% of the time. If the test indicates a tire is defective, the tire is recycled. Otherwise, the tire makes it to market. Let D represent the event a tire is defective, and T represent the event the test indicates a tire is defective. In each part of this question, express each probability only in terms of the events D and T and justify any computation by explicitly stating the formula you are using. (a) Express each of the three probabilities listed above in terms of the events D and T. (b) What percentage of tires are recycled? (c) What percentage of recycled tires are not defective?

- Your statistics instructor claims that 60 percent of the students who take her Elementary Statistics class go through life feeling more enriched. For some reason that she can't quite figure out, most people don't believe her. You decide to check this out on your own. You randomly survey 55 of her past Elementary Statistics students and find that 29 feel more enriched as a result of her class. Now, what do you think?arrow_forwardResearchers have been studying the reliability of a new medical test. On their last study, they found that the test accurately identified those with the disease 92% of the time, and it accurately identified those without the disease only 74% of the time. There were 1,000 total people in this study, and 200 of them had the disease. Complete the table below using this information. Then, use your completed table to help you answer the questions.

- A biologist is studying the composition of birds on a lake and counts 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons. From previous studies performed around the same time of the year, she expects 50% of the birds to be ducks, 23% to be geese, 12% to be cranes, 10% to be swans, and 5% to be herons. What are the expected and observed counts? Select one. Expected = 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons Observed = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons Expected = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons Observed 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons %3D Expected = 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons Observed = 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, and 6 herons %3D %3D Expected = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons Observed = 61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 heronsarrow_forwardThe table below reveals the relative frequencies of students and how they get to and from school. Why is the lower right cell in this table 100%? is it because every row in this sort of table adds to 100? all of the other numbers in the table add to 100? it was just a lucky set of numbers that happened to add to 100? or because 100% represents all of the students who were included in the data set?arrow_forwardPlease see picturearrow_forward
