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?

2. Ceramic items are "baked" in a gas-fired tubular-shaped oven is lots of 100 units. The items are lined up in a single row on a special high-temperature pallet, slid into the oven, the oven closed, and the temperature increased manually according to time-temperature scale. After cooling, a sample of five units is drawn from a lot and strength-tested by breaking them in a special testing device. To be effective in use, breaking strength must exceed 5 psi. If any item breaks at less than 5 psi, the lot from which it came is scrapped. About 10% of the lots have been scrapped in recent times. c. Calculate the pertinent Process Capability Indexes for this process and interpret their meaning relative to your answer to part (b) d. Assuming R chart shows good control, where should the process be centered to ensure that no more than 0.1% of the items do not meet specification (assume a normal distribution)? Calculate the same Process Capability Indexes at this target mean setting.

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)
