Every year, the veterinary hospital at a major research university treats a number of horses that have stones called enteroliths in their guts. A sample of 20 years shows that on average about 2% of horses presenting at the veterinary hospital are treated for enteroliths. Some breeds of horses seem more prone to developing enteroliths than others. Below is a table with the distribution of enteroliths among the breeds. Breed Fijian Thoroughbred Morgan Quarter horse Probability 0.4 0.2 0.3 The probability that a horse arriving at the veterinary hospital is not a Fijian,Thorougbred, or a Quarter horse is:

Every year, many people hiking the Australian Outbacks are reported to be lost, and around 44% of them are eventually found by rescue missions. 73% of the people who were rescued were found to carry an emergency GPS locator, whereas 25% of the people who were not rescued were known to carry a similar locator. a. If a lost hiker is carrying an emergency GPS locator, what is the probability of them being rescued? Answer in exact fraction, or rounded to at least 4 decimal places b. If a hiker gets lost without a GPS locator, what is the probability that they will not get rescued? Answer in exact fraction, or rounded to at least 4 decimal places
Recall the use of data from the National Health Survey to estimate behaviors such as alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, and hours of sleep for all U.S. adults. In the 2005-2007 report, they estimated that 30% of all current smokers started smoking before the age of 16. Suppose that we randomly select 100 U.S. adults who are smokers and find that 25% of this sample started smoking before the age of 16. Is this much error surprising? Find the probability that a sample proportion will be an over- or underestimate of the parameter by more than 5%.
A study of consumers smoking habits include 160 people in the 18-22 age bracket (49 of whom smoke), 133 people in the 23-30 age bracket (37 of whom smoke), and 85 people in the 31-40 age bracket (21 whom smoke). If one person is randomly selected from this sample, find the probability of getting someone who is age 18-22 or does not smoke.
Organ Donors USA Today provided information about a survey of 5100 adult Internet users. Of the respondents, 2346 said they are willing to donate organs after death. In this survey conducted for Donate Life America, 100 adults were surveyed in each state and the District of Columbia, and results were weighted to account for the different state population sizes. a. What percentage of respondents said that they are willing to donate organs after death? b. Based on the poll results, what is the probability of randomly selecting an adult who is willing to donate organs after death? c. What term is used to describe the sampling method of randomly selecting 100 adults from each state and the District of Columbia?

A random experiment was run 23 times with groups of 24 mice. Each time the experiment was run, 4 mice were initially infected with a disease; the remaining mice were susceptible to contracting the disease. After one day, they measured the number of number of newly infected mice (not including those originally infected). They found the following frequency table: Newly infected mice Newly infected mice 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Frequency 1 2 2 6 5 4 2 1 Determine the expected probability of transmission for this particular variant of disease. Round your answer to three decimal places.

It is known that the use of banned drugs can contribute to mental illness. The minister of health wants to put a cost to this disaster and request that you take a study. In Barbados 40% of mentally ill blame their illness on drugs. Without previous knowledge in Jamaica we assume that this is the same proportion here. You selected a random sample of 12Bellevue patients to review. What is the probability that 6 patients used the drugs that caused their illness.
