A major steel pipeline is used to transport crude oil from an oil production platform to a refinery over a distance of 100 km. Even though the entire pipeline is inspected once a year and repaired as necessary, the steel material is subject to damaging corrosion. Assume that from past inspection records, the mean occurrence rate of corrosion along the pipeline is 0.15/km, what is the probability that there are at least five corrosion sites between inspections? Express your answer in three decimal places.

To gauge their fear of going to a dentist, a random sample of adults completed the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale questionnaire (BMC Oral Health, Vol. 9, 2009). Scores on the scale range from zero (no anxiety) to 25 (extreme anxiety). The mean score was 11 and the standard deviation was 4. Assume that the distribution of all scores on the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale is approximately normal with µ = 11 and o = 4. Complete parts a through c below. a. Suppose you score a 10 on the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale. Find the z-value for this score. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) 1)
The toco toucan, the largest member of the toucan family, possesses the largest beak relative to body size of all birds. This exaggerated feature has received various interpretations, such as being a refined adaptation for feeding. However, the large surface area may also be an important mechanism for radiating heat (and hence cooling the bird) as outdoor temperature increases. The table contains data for beak heat loss, as a percentage of total body heat loss from all sources, at various temperatures in degrees Celsius. The data show that beak heat loss is higher at higher temperatures and that the relationship is roughly linear.
