High in the Rocky Mountains, a biology research team has drained a lake to get rid of all fish. After the lake was refilied, they stocked it with an endangered species of Greenback trout. Of the 2,000 Greenback trout put into the lake 700 were tagged for later study. An electroshock method is used on individual fish to get a study sample. However, this method is hard on the fish. The research team wants to know the smallest number of fish that must be electroshocked to be at least80%sure of getting a sample of two or more tagged trout. Please provide the answer.

Some commercial airlines recirculate about half the air in the cabin during flights as a way to improve fuel efficiency. Other airlines make a policy of NOT recirculating the air and instead, have fresh air from the atmosphere constantly being inserted into the cabin with the “old” air being pumped out of the plane. A total of 1100 passengers flying from San Francisco to Denver were used for an experiment. After their flight, they were each given a list of symptoms associated with the common cold. They were asked to report if they experienced cold symptoms within 24 hours of the flight landing. Of the 517 passengers who flew on planes that recirculate the air, 108 reported post-flight cold symptoms. Of the 583 passengers who flew on airlines that do not use recirculation in the cabin, 110 reported symptoms. Suppose now that we want to use the recirculation of air data to explore “Goal #2”, which is to resolve a hypothesis test about . a) If we want to resolve this hypothesis…

A group of 110 people, who lived at varying distances (in kilometers) from the 3 kilometer island nuclear power station, were asked if they thought a full evacuation of the area was required, when it went critical. The researches wanted to know if the opinion to evacuate or not depended on how far from the reactor people lived. The people were divided into 5 categories, based on the distance to the power station. Each person was given 3 choices: evacuation was needed, evacuation was not needed, they did not care about it.
