A container contains 15 diesel engines. The company chooses 8 engines at random, and will not ship the container if any of the engines chosen are defective.

There are declining levels of cooperation among persons contacted in surveys and this brings concerns to pollsters. A pollster contacts 92 people in the 18-21 age bracket and finds that 78 of them respond and 14 refuse to respond. When 276 people in the 22-29 age bracket are contacted, 259 respond and 17 refuse to respond. Assume that 1 of the 368 people is randomly selected. Find the probability of getting someone in the 22-29 age bracket or someone who agreed to respond. Report the answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place accuracy.

2. A political scientist developed a test designed to measure the degree of awareness of current events. She wants to estimate the average score that would be achieved on this test by all students in a certain high school. The administration at the school will not allow the experimenter to randomly select students out of classes in session, but it will allow her to interrupt a small number of classes for the purpose of giving the test to every member of the class. Thus, the experimenter selects 25 classes at random from the 108 classes in session at a particular hour. The test is given to each member of the sampled classes, with results as shown in the accompanying table. Number of students, mi Total score, yi Class 1 31 1590 2 29 1510 3 25 1490 4 35 1610 5 15 800 6 31 1720
Blue Embrold.. Pointehaven 200 G. PANDOR A study was conducted to determine whether there were significant differences between medical students admitted through special programs (such as retention incentve and guaranteed placement programs) and medical students admitted through the regular admissions criteria. It was found that the graduation rate was 91.9% for the medical students admitted through special programs. A sample of 11 students from the special programs are randomly selected. An event is considered unusual if it has a probability of less than 5%. Round to at least 4 decimal places! a) Compute the probability that at least 10 of them graduated. b) Compute the probability that exactly 8 of them graduated.
