In an order placed at Gerdau, the customer requested some rolls of "25.4 kg Round Wire Rod", others of "26.99 kg Round Wire Rod" and also rolls of "25.4 kg Hexagonal Wire Rod" and "25.4 kg Hexagonal Wire Rod". 26.99 kg". It is known that 25% of rolls of "Round Wire Rod" are 26.99 kg and that, among rolls of 26.99 kg only, those of "Hexagonal Wire Rod" represent 25%. Also, 30% of the total number of rolls ordered is "Round Machine Wire of 25.4 kg". Choosing a roll at random, among all orders, the probability that it is a roll of "26.99 kg Hexagon Wire Machine" is approximately:

Suppose that if an adult falls in the bottom 5% of the distribution of the amount of blood of adults, that person is considered anemic. What is the most amount of blood the adult may have and still be considered anemic?
A certain county had a population of 34,485 people. The county hospital is interested in estimating the number of people in the county with blood type-O. To do this, they test blood samples from 228 patients. Out of this group, 10 have blood type-O. Use this sample to estimate the number of people in the county with blood type-O.
The highway department wants to estimate the proportion of vehicles on a Highway at KM 25 between midnight and 5:00 A.M. The head of the department wants to see how many 18-wheel tractor trailers pass on the road. These estimates will be used to determine highway repairs and construction considerations and in highway patrol planning. The department chief asked investigators to calculate estimates of vehicles at different locations on inter-island roads over the past 7 days. From 3,481 vehicles counted there are 927 are 18-wheel drive. However, out of the total 927, there were 51 vehicles that had accidents so that the sample was calculated based on the results of a reduction in the number of accidents. Specify an approximate point for the proportion of vehicles performingtravel on KM 25 during this time period which is an 18-wheeled vehicle!(Assume the confidence level is 99%). What are the benefits of estimating value estimates in this case (analysis of the answers you have obtained)?
(3-B is needed to answer it I am only asking for question 4.) 3) You go out and collect the following estimates of earthworms / acre:54,276 57,378 51,108 66,190 66,232 59,018 57,159These data yield the following: ̄y = 59,765.86, and s = 5,689.606a) Construct a 90% CI for these data.b) Construct a 99% CI for these data.c) Darwin once estimated that an acre of soil had about 50,000 worms in it. Is his estimateconsistent with the data above? (Historical note: His estimate was considered way too high inhis day). 4) Consider the results of 3(b). Notice that all the data fit within the 99% confidence interval. Is thisusually the case (in other words, will a 99% CI contain most of the observations)?Caution: a lot of people get this wrong! Here's a hint: suppose you had measured the worms in6000 acres (instead of just 7). What happens to the confidence interval? If you're not sure,substitute 6,000 for 7 in your calculation for (b) to see what happens.

The control department of a light bulb manufacturer randomly picks 4400 light bulbs from the production lot every week. The records show that, when there is no malfunction, the defect rate in the manufacturing process (due to imperfections in the material used) is 1% . When 1.5% or more of the light bulbs in the sample of 4400 are defective, the control unit calls repair technicians for service. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a)Find the mean of p , where p is the proportion of defective light bulbs in a sample of 4400 when there is no malfunction. (b)Find the standard deviation of p . (c)Compute an approximation for P≥p0.015 , which is the probability that the service technicians will be called even though the system is functioning properly. Round your answer to four decimal places.
