A manufacturer of car crankshafts is attempting to determine the likelihood of faulty samples in a lot that comprises exactly 10% defective and 90% good product. The probability that any given sample will be a defect is 0.2, and the probability that any given sample will be satisfactory is 0.8. if there are two samples drawn. Calculate the probability of the possible combinations.

To reduce laboratory costs, water samples from five public swimming pools are combined for one test for the presence of bacteria. Further testing is done only if the combined sample tests positive. Based on past results, there is a 0.004 probability of finding bacteria in a public swimming area. Find the probability that a combined sample from five public swimming areas will reveal the presence of bacteria. Is the probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely necessary? The probability of a positive test result is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
A suspension bridge is located in an earthquake region. When an earthquake occurs, the probability that the bridge will collapse depends on the magnitude of the earthquake and also on the condition of the cables. The cables are either good or bad with relative chances of 4 to 1. The odds of having a strong or weak magnitude earthquake are 3 to 2. The bridge will definitely collapse if a strong earthquake occurs. The bridge will survive a weak earthquake if the cables are good. If the cables are bad, it will have a 50% chance of survival. What is the probability that the bridge will collapse during an earthquake? O a. 0.64 O b. 0,03 Oc.0.28 O d. 0.71 e. 0.0084
A production of 20 fuses is received by the store. It is known that 4 of the fuses are defective. The quality control engineer randomly selected three of the fuses from the production run. Find the probability that two of the fuses selected are defective.

Suppose you did an experiment with 3 groups and 16 subjects per group. The sample variances in the three groups were 14, 16, and 18. Using Tukey's test to compare the means, what would be the two-tailed probability for a comparison of the first mean (14) with the last mean (18)?
A study reported that about 40% of high school students have tried out for a sport at their school. To find out if this applies to Jessica’s school, she surveyed an SRS of 20 students. Nine of them said that they had tried out for a sport. To see if this result is surprising, a simulation is to be conducted to estimate the probability of obtaining a sample result as high as this one. Let 0–3 represent students who tried out for a sport and 4–9 represent students who did not try out for a sport. Using the line of random numbers to run one simulation, what proportion of students tried out for a sport? 0.40 0.45 0.50 0.60
A psychologist believes that 65% of male drivers when lost continue to drive hoping to find the location they seek rather than ask directions. To examine this belief, he took a random sample of 350 male drivers and asked each what they did when lost. Assume that the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of male drivers who continue driving is at least approximately normal. If the belief is true, determine the probability that less than 60% said they continue driving. Show your work below
The acceptable level for insect filth in a certain food item is 2 insect fragments (larvae, eggs, body parts, and so on) per 10 grams. A simple random sample of 40 ten-gram portions of the food item is obtained and results in a sample mean of x=2.3 insect fragments per ten-gram portion. What is the probability a simple random sample of 40 ten-gram portions of the food item results in a mean of at least 2.3 P(x≥2.3)= (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Anita's, a fast-food chain specializing in hot dogs and garlic fries, can monitor how many customers at its restaurants want to eat (in addition to ordering takeout) to decide whether or not to build a location to play in the city. . Including the presence of Sammy the mascot in local locations, stores and franchises, Anita reports that 45% of her customers order food for delivery. If this ratio is true, what is the probability that a random sample of 3 of Anita's 4 customers will order food? Round your response to at least three decimal places. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
