In a quality control procedure to test for defective light bulbs, two light bulbs are randomly selected from a large sample without replacement. If either light bulb is defective, the entire lot is rejected. Suppose a sample of 200 light bulbs contains 5 defective light bulbs. Find the probability that the sample will be rejected. (Hint: First calculate the probability that neither bulb is defective.)

A gender-selection technique is designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a girl. In the results of the gender-selection technique, 876 births consisted of 447 baby girls and 429 baby boys. In analyzing these results, assume that boys and girls are equally likely. a. Find the probability of getting exactly 447 girls in 876 births. b. Find the probability of getting 447 or more girls in 876 births. If boys and girls are equally likely, is 447 girls in 876 births unusually high? c. Which probability is relevant for trying to determine whether the technique is effective: the result from part (a) or the result from part (b)? d. Based on the results, does it appear that the gender-selection technique is effective? a. The probability of getting exactly 447 girls in 876 births is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
There are declining levels of cooperation among persons contacted in surveys and this brings concerns to pollsters. A pollster contacts 92 people in the 18-21 age bracket and finds that 78 of them respond and 14 refuse to respond. When 276 people in the 22-29 age bracket are contacted, 259 respond and 17 refuse to respond. Assume that 1 of the 368 people is randomly selected. Find the probability of getting someone in the 22-29 age bracket or someone who agreed to respond. Report the answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place accuracy. You need not enter the "%" symbol. prob = Question Help: M Mes
