Nine plants are operated by a garment manufacturer. They feel there is a sixteen percent chance for a strike at any one plant and the risk of a strike of a strike at one plant is independent of the risk of a strike at another plant. Let X be the number of plants of the garment manufacturer that strike. Compute the probability that 3 of the plants will strike. Round your answer to four decimal places, if necessary.

Bill Alther is a zoologist who studies Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna).t Suppose that in a remote part of the Grand Canyon, a random sample of six of these birds was caught, weighed, and released. The weights (in grams) were as follows. 3.7 2.9 3.8 4.2 4.8 3.1 The sample mean is x = 3.75 grams. Let x be a random variable representing weights of hummingbirds in this part of the Grand Canyon. We assume that x has a normal distribution and o = 0.96 gram. Suppose it is known that for the population of all Anna's hummingbirds, the mean weight is µ = 4.80 grams. Do the data indicate that the mean weight of these birds in this part of the Grand Canyon is less than 4.80 grams? Use a = 0.10. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. Will you use a left-tailed, right- tailed, or two-tailed test?

A new soft drink is being market tested. It is estimated that 60% of consumers will like the new drink. A sample of 96 tasters tested the new drink. Q27 What is the probability that between 59% and 62% of tasters will indicate they like the drink? Your answer should be in % and have two digits after the period. So, if your answer is 50.023%, enter 50.02. Your Answer:
In the winter time, Baltimore can get snow storms at various times throughout the season. Let's imagine that in an analysis of the weather, I found that the probability of no snow on a winter day was 0.90. Let's also make the crude assumption that the probability of snow on any given day is independent of other days. What is the probability that there will be no snow for 30 days? T TTArial 3 (12pt) v T
