Question
The quality-control inspector of a production plant will reject a batch of syringes if two or more defective syringes are found in a random sample of ten syringes taken from the batch. Suppose the batch contains 1% defective syringes.
(a)
Make a histogram showing the probabilities of
r = 0, 1, 2, 3, ,
9 and 10 defective syringes in a random sample of ten syringes.A histogram has a horizontal axis labeled r with values from 0 to 10 and a vertical axis labeled P(r) with values from 0 to 1. The histogram has 11 bars. Each bar is associated with a label and an approximate value as listed below.

- Let a be a random variable representing the percentage of protein content for early bloom alfalfa hay. The average percentage protein content of such early bloom alfalfa should be u = 17.2%. A farmer's co-op is thinking of buying a large amount of baled hay but suspects that the hay is from a later summer cutting with lower protein content. A small amount of hay was removed from each bale of a random sample of 50 bales. The average protein content from the samples was determined by a local agricultural college to be -15.8% with a sample standard deviation of S = 5.3%- At a = .05, does this hay have lower average protein content than the early bloom alfalfa?arrow_forwardIn the airline business, "on-time" flight arrival is important for connecting flights and general customer satisfaction. Is there a difference between summer and winter average on-time flight arrivals? Let x1 be a random variable that represents percentage of on-time arrivals at major airports in the summer. Let x2 be a random variable that represents percentage of on-time arrivals at major airports in the winter. A random sample of n1 = 16 major airports showed that x1 = 74.9%, with s1 = 5.3%. A random sample of n2 = 18 major airports showed that x2 = 70.2%, with s2 = 8.6%. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value a small amount and thereby produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.
