Suppose that n observations are chosen at random from a continuous pdf fY(y). What is the probability that the last observation recorded will be the smallest number in the sample? I asked this question earlier today, but didn't quite understand all of the response. P(y1<=yn)p(y2<=yn) and so on was used, but shouldn't the yn be listed first in the inequality since we want to know if yn is the smallest?
T2 #4 Apr 5 Of the international passengers arriving at an airport, 1.5% are selected for luggage inspection. Let X be the number of passengers from a random sample of 400 who are sent for luggage inspection. Use Poisson approximation to X to find the probability that between 6 and 12 passengers inclusive, are sent for luggage inspection.

Workers at a large toxic cleanup project are concerned that their white blood cell counts may have been reduced. Let x be a random variable that represents white blood cell count per cubic millimeter of whole blood in a healthy adult. Then ? = 7500 and ? ≈ 1750.† A random sample of n = 50 workers from the toxic cleanup site were given a blood test that showed x = 6760. What is the probability that, for healthy adults, x will be this low or lower? (a) How does the central limit theorem apply? Explain. The central limit theorem describes the distribution of x as normal with mean ? x = 7500 and ? x ≈ 247.49.The central limit theorem describes the distribution of x as normal with mean ? x = 7500 and ? x ≈ 1750.00. The central limit theorem describes the distribution of x as normal with mean ? x = 7500 and ? x ≈ 35.00.The central limit theorem does not apply because the sample size is too small. (b) Compute P(x ≤ 6760). (Round your answer to four decimal places.) P(x ≤…
