It has been determined that 5% of drivers checked at a road stop show traces of alcohol and 10% of drivers checked don't wear seat belts. In addition, it has been observed that two infractions are independent from one another. If an officer stops five drivers at random, then the probability that exactly two of the drivers have committed any of the two offenses is: O 0.1314 0.0232

2) A company was examining the perception of sports fans in a specific region and outside of that region to see if people viewed a specific team favorable or unfavorable. It was previously determined that given a person was from the region the probability they considered the team favorable was 0.7, and given that the person was not from the region, the probability they considered the team unfavorable was 0.28. Consider a collection of 35 people were surveyed, where 28 were from the region, and 7 people were from outside the region. a) Given that a randomly selected response from the sample was favorable, what is the probability they were from the region? b) Given that a randomly selected response from the sample was not favorable, what is the probability they were from the region?
In a survey to determine the opinions of Americans on health insurers, 400 baby boomers and 600 pre-boomers were asked this question: Do you believe that insurers are very responsible for high health costs? Of the baby boomers, 224 answered in the affirmative, whereas 210 of the pre-boomers answered in the affirmative.

A manufacturer of light bulbs may want to be reasonably certain that less than 3% of the bulbs are defective. Suppose 300 bulbs are randomly selected from a very large shipment. Each tested and 10 defective bulbs are found. Does this provide sufficient evidence for the manufacturer to conclude that the fraction defective in the entire shipment is less than 0.03? the manufacturer's alternative hypothesis is? A. The fraction defective light bulbs in the entire population is less than 0.03 B. The probability defective light bulbs in the sample is less than 0.03 C. The mean defective light bulbs in the entire population is less than 0.03
