A farmer has 2000 sacks of beans in his store, 600 of which are found to be infested with pests. (a) What is the sampling distribution of the proportion of sacks of beans infested with pests if a sample of size 50 is drawn without replacement? (b) Determine the probability of selecting a sample whose proportion of sacks infested with pests is greater than 0.40

The records of a light bulb manufacturer show that, when the manufacturing machinery is working correctly, the defect rate (due to imperfections in the material used) is 1%. The manufacturer's control department periodically tests samples of the bulbs, and when 1.25% or more are defective, they call repair technicians for service. The control department is going to take a random sample of 4400 light bulbs. Let p be the proportion of defective light bulbs in the sample assuming the machinery is working correctly. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of p. (b) Find the standard deviation of p. (c) Compute an approximation for P(P ≥ 0.0125), which is the probability that, assuming the machinery is working correctly, the repair technicians will be called. Round your answer to four decimal places.
A researcher studying public opinion of proposed Social Security changes obtains a simple random sample of 25 adult Americans and asks them whether or not support the proposed changes . To say that the distribution of the sample proportion of adults who respond yes, is approximately normal , how many more adult Americans does the researcher need to sample in the following cases? (a) 15% of all adult Americans support the changes (b) 20% of all adult Americans support the changes
In a survey of 175 females who recently completed high school, 76% were enrolled in college. In a survey of 150 males who recently completed high school, 72% were enrolled in college. At a = 0.05, can you reject the claim that there is no difference in the proportion of college enrollees between the two groups? Assume the random samples are independent.
