As a quality control manager at Tinker Air Force Base, you perform inspections on shipments of components from suppliers to detect nonconforming components. Assume a lot contains 1000 components and 1% are nonconforming. What sample size is needed so that the probability of choosing at least one nonconforming component in the sample is at least 0.90? Assume a binomial distribution (that is, assume that 1000 is sufficiently large so that we can assume replacement). Solve analytically.

Suppose a plywood from a supplier are suspected to contain 2% that are below specifications. One thousand plywood were delivered by the supplier for the construction of form works for reinforced concrete structures. To ensure the quality of the plywood, the construction company randomly selected plywood and tested them for a specification compliance. Based on the suspected % defective plywood. a. Determine the probability that all 20 plywood will past the test. b. What is the probability that atleast 2 plywood will past the test.
4. A public utility company assumes that annual water consumption (measured in cubic meters) of households with young families with children is normally distributed with mean 120 and standard deviation 55. Compute the probability that a randomly selected family has an annual water consumption of less than 80cubic meters.

9. Women's heights are normally distributed with a mean of 63.8 in and standard deviation of 2.6 in. a) If one woman is randomly selected, find the probability that her height is less than 62.4 inches. b) If one woman is randomly selected, find the probability that her height is more than 64.5 inches. c) If one woman is randomly selected, find the probability that her height is between 61.0 inches and 68.0 inches. d) If 24 women are randomly selected, find the probability their mean height is less than 62.1 inches. e) Find P17.
A) The distribution of the number of gallons of water used for taking a shower in the UnitedStates are skewed right. Some people take long showers using as much as 63 gallons compared to the average of 17.2 gallons. A conservationist is interested in the mean number of gallons of water used in college apartments housing 4 students. Assuming a standard deviation of 4.2 gallons for all US showers, what is the probability that a random sample of 30 college student showers will have a mean water usage of more than 19 gallons of water? This question is for AP statistics about sampling distribution and normal model. Can you help me with this?
3. Suppose a store has a filling machine that fills 12 ounce bottles of juice. It is known that the amount of juice poured by this filling machine follows a normal distribution with a mean of 12.10 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.04 ounce. Find the probability that the bottle contains between 12.06 and 12.16 ounces
4. According to a 2019 Federal Reserve report, 54% of U.S. young adults who went to college took on some debt for their education. Suppose we take a random sample of 400 U.S. young adults who went to college and took on some debt, a) Find the mean and standard of the sampling distribution of ?̂. mean= ?? = standard deviation of the sample proportion, ?? = b) Determine the probability that more than 60% of the persons in the sample took on some debt.

12. The life span of an automatic washer X is normally distributed random variable with the mean of 3.8 years and standard deviation of 1.2 years. a. Probability that life span of randomly selected washer will be more than 3.5 years is b. The percent of the washers with the life span between 3.5 years and 4.0 years is c. The dealer wants only 1.5% of the washers to fail before the end of guarantee period. Then the length of guarantee period is years. Show your work in finding probability (percent) in the questions a, b, and answering the question c.
17. Each full carton of Grade A eggs consists of 1 randomly selected empty cardboard container and 12 randomly selected eggs. The weights of such full cartons are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 840 grams and a standard deviation of 7.9 grams. a. What is the probability that a randomly selected full carton of Grade A eggs will weigh more than 850 grams? The weights of the empty cardboard containers have a mean of 20 grams and a standard deviation of 1.7 grams. It is reasonable to assume independence between the weights of the empty cardboard containers and the weights of the eggs. It is also reasonable to assume independence among the weights of the 12 eggs that are randomly selected for a full carton. Let the random variable X be the weight of a single randomly selected Grade A egg. b. What is the mean of X? C. What is the standard deviation of X?
5. The ages of U.S. commercial aircraft have a mean of 13 years and a standard deviation of 7.9 years (based on data from Aviation Data Services). a. If the Federal Aviation Administration randomly selects 35 commercial aircraft for special stress tests, find the probability that the mean age of this sample group is greater than 15 years? b. If the Federal Aviation Administration randomly selects 42 commercial aircraft for special stress tests, what is the mean sample age of the aircraft for the top 75% of the sample?4
1. We are working in a bakery. 15.62% of all bakery customers will buy a cookie, and you may assume that customers can't buy more than one cookie at a time. Visualize the following distributions in R. Be sure to write out the pmf and submit screenshots of your code and pictures of the plots/graphs. (a) Let X indicate whether the next customer buys a cookie. 1 (b) Let X be the number of customers, out of the next 38, who buys a cookie. (c) The bakery likes all cookies to be fresh, so they don't make that many at a time: they only bake batches of 12. Let X be the number of customers until they sell all of the first batch of cookies (d) Let X be the number of chocolate chip cookies which are brought to you if you ask the server to randomly select 4 cookies from a platter containing 5 chocolate chip, 3 oatmeal, and 7 peanut butter.
