23. Composite Drug Test Based on the data in Table 4-1 on page 146, assume that the probability of a randomly selected person testing positive for drug use is 0.126. If drug screening samples are collected from 5 random subjects and combined, find the probability that the combined sample will reveal a positive result. Is that probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely necessary?
On March 28, 1979, the nuclear generating facility at Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania, began discharging radiation into the atmosphere. People exposed to even low levels of radiation can experience health problems ranging from very mild to severe, even causing death. A local newspaper reported that 11 babies were born with kidney problems in the three-county area surrounding the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant. The expected value for that problem in infants in that area was 3. Answer the following questions. 7. Do you think that pregnant mothers living in that area should be overly concerned after looking at the results in terms of rates?
1. Power companies severely trim trees growing near their lines to avoid power failures due to falling limbs in storms. Applying a chemical to slow the growth of the trees is cheaper than trimming, but the chemical kills some of the trees. Suppose that one such chemical would kill 20% of sycamore trees. The power company tests the chemical on 250 sycamores. Consider this a SRS from the population of all sycamore trees. Calculate the probability that less than 24% of the tress in the sample are killed. (Hint: Shape, Center, Spread, Curve, Calculations, Conclusion....)
