5. Seventy percent of clay pots are produced by Machine 1 and 30% by Machine 2. Among all pots produced by Machine 1, 4% are defective, and of those produced by Machine 2, 8% are defective. a) What percentage of the total produced are defective? (0.70)(0.04) + (0.30)(0.08) = 0.052 or 5.2% b) If a pot is found to be defective, what is the probability that it was produced by Machine 2? Explain your answer. (0.30)(0.08) 0.052 = 0.4615 or 46.2%

There are 3.8 × 1013 microorganisms in the human gut. Nearly all of these microbes interact with one another. Say we want to study a small fraction of these interactions. 2. Assume we look at only 0.001% of this microbiome. (a) How many microorganisms are we studying? (b) Assume we study each microbe for 1 minute. Could we study this portion of the microbiome in a lifetime? (c) What percent of the gut microobiome could someone study if they work non-stop for 80 years, 1 minute per microbe?

40. A survey was conducted to determine the percentage of high school students who planned to go to college. The results were stated as 82% with a margin of error of ± 5%. What is meant by ± 5%? a. Five percent of the population was not surveyed. b. In the sample, the percentage of students who plan to go to college was between 77% and 87%. c. The percentage of the entire population of students who plan to go to college is between 77%and 87%. d. It is unlikely that the given sample proportion result would be obtained unless the true percentage was between 77% and 87% e. Between 77% and 87% of the population were surveyed.
1. A salesman for home insulation conducted a telephone poll of the first 25 people from his firm's client list. He asked each person this question: Home insulation is one of the best ways to reduce your monthly heating bill. On a scale of 1 to 7, where 1 is unimportant and 7 is extremely important, how important is it to you to have adequate home insulation? All but one responded with a rating of 5 or above. The salesman wrote to his manager that "96% of people in our town think that insulation is very important." Are the survey results valid? Why or why not? (Hint: Discuss sample size, question, sample technique, and survey technique)
An interdepartmental task force is being formed to investigate an increase in violent crimes. 1/5 of the task force will be police officers from the local precinct. 1/4 will be ATF agents, and the remaining 22 will be from the FBI. How many people are participating in the task force?
1. In AP Econ, the total points accrued thus far is 800. The instructor has announced that there will be a total of 1000 points at the end of the semester. The final exam, therefore, is worth 200 points. Christina L currently has an average score of 87%. Is it possible for Christina L to squeak by with an A- in the class? Explain. Show your work.

18 - The amount of tea leaves in a can from a particular production line is normally distributed with µ= 110 grams and o= 25 grams. A sample of 25 cans is to be selected. So, the middle 70% of all sample means will fall between what two values?
3. A coffee chain owner is concerned with the proportion of people who would rather order a coffee from another store. The corporate office tells her that from a separate large-scale study, they found the true proportion to be p = 0.6. As she wants to estimate this proportion herself, she asks 20 people in line whether they would switch and records a ‘1’ if they said “Yes” and records a ‘0’ otherwise. (a) Based on this study, what is the approximate distribution of the sample proportion pˆ? State all parameters and assumptions required for your answer. (b) The store owner wants to determine the cutoff point for the sample proportion for which the probability of observing a larger sample proportion is 0.50. That is, find the value ‘a’ such that P(ˆp > a) = 0.50. Show all your work. Explain how you could have found your answer immediately without using the Normal probability table and using a property about the Normal distribution.
