he hypergeometric probability distribution is used in acceptance sampling. Suppose that a machine shop orders 500 bolts from a supplier. To determine whether to accept the shipment of bolts, the manager of the facility randomly selects 12 bolts. If none of the 12 randomly selected bolts is found to be defective, he concludes that the shipment is acceptable. If 10% of the bolts in the population are defective. What is the probability that none of the selected bolts are defective?

Pollsters are concerned about declining levels of cooperation among persons contacted in surveys. A pollster contacts 95 people in the 18-21 age bracket and finds that 81 of them respond and 14 refuse to respond. When 260 people in the 22-29 age bracket are contacted, 235 respond and 25 refuse to respond. Assume that 1 of the 355 people is randomly selected. Find the probability of getting someone in the 22-29 age bracket or someone who responds.Report the answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place accuracy. You need not enter the "%" symbol.P(22-29 or responds) =
In a recent year, the Better Business Bureau settled 75% of complaints they received. You have been hired by the Bureau to investigate complaints this year involving computer stores. You plan to select a random sample of complaints to estimate the proportion of complaints the Bureau is able to settle. Suppose your sample size is 288. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be at most 4 percent more than the population proportion?
Two coins are selected from a pocket that contains 3 nickels and 4 quarters. The random variable is the total value in cents of the 2 selected coins. Find the probability distribution. Find the expected value, variance, and standard deviation.
Jenny works for a local brewing company. She and her team mates try to estimate the Hong Kong consumers’ preference on their beer brand compared to other imported ones. They performed a survey asking if the respondent prefers the company’s brand the most or not. Based on this survey result, they want to decide how much money the company needs to invest on brand promotions in the coming year. This is an important decision for the company, and the management wants to have the probability that the sample proportion p is +/- 3% from the actual proportion p to be very high (i.e., at least 99%). In this case, what is the desirable sample size n for the following two cases? Give the answer in the form of: at least ___ x100 samples. Case i. When the actual proportion is 50%. Case ii. When the actual proportion is 10%. Explain why the sample sizes required to achieve the same accuracy in the two cases are different.
The president of Doerman Distributors, Inc. believes that 30% of the firm's orders come from first-time customers. A random sample of 100 orders will be used to estimate the proportion of first-time customers. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within .05?
According to the Disney Times, 37% of all people in NeverNeverLand are digitally illiterate. Suppose you randomly select eleven people off a city street. Make a probability distribution of the number of digitally illiterate people out of the eleven in the sample. Make a histogram showing the probability distribution of the number of digitally illiterate people out of the eleven people in the sample. Find the mean and standard deviation of the probability distribution. Find the probability of out of eleven people, at least 5 are digitally illiterate. Find the probability of out of eleven people, at most 8 are digitally illiterate. Find the probability of out of eleven people, between 6 and 9, inclusive, are digitally illiterate.
