Kanjanarat et al. (A-12) estimate the rate of preventable adverse drug events (ADEs) in hospitals to be 35.2 percent. Preventable ADEs typically result from inappropriate care or medication errors, which include errors of commission and errors of omission. Suppose that 10 hospital patients experiencing an ADE are chosen at random. Let p = .35, and calculate the probability that: (c) None of those drug events were preventable (d) Between three and six inclusive were preventable

According to a candy company, packages of a certain candy contain 24% orange candies. Find the approximate probability that the random sample of 300 candies will contain 29% or more orange candies. Using a normal approximation, what is the probability that at least 29% of 300 randomly sampled candies will be orange?
Suppose that a random sample of size 25 is to be selected from a population with mean 46 and standard deviation 8. What is the approximate probability that X will be more than .5 away from the population mean?
In a genetics experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 433 green peas and 121 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected?
An apple juice producer buys all his apples from a conglomerate of apple growers in one northwestern state. The amount of juice obtained from each of these apples is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 2.25 ounces and a standard deviation of .15 ounce. What is the probability that a randomly selected apple will contain between 2.00 and 3.00 ounces?
The level of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and nonmethane organic gas (NMOG) in the exhaust over the useful life (150,000150,000 miles of driving) of cars of a particular model varies Normally with mean 8080 mg/mi and standard deviation 66 mg/mi. A company has 1616 cars of this model in its fleet. Using Table A, find the level ?L such that the probability that the average NOX + NMOG level ?¯x¯ for the fleet greater than ?L is only 0.030.03 ?

An apple juice producer buys all his apples from a conglomerate of apple growers in one northwest state. The amount of juice squeezed from each of these apples is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 2.06 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.16 ounce. What is the probability that a randomly selected apple will contain more than 2.35 ounces?
Suppose that from the past experience a professor knows that the test score of a student taking his final examination is a random variable with mean 61 and a standard deviation 8.5. how many students would have to take the examination to ensure, with probability at least 0.94, that the class average would be within 3 of 61?
A newborn baby is classified as having Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW) if it weighs less than 1000 grams (g). The average weight of children with ELBW is N.d. with mean 815g and standard deviation 100g. What is the probability that an SRS of 45 children with ELBW weighs less than 810?
An employee survey conducted by a company two years ago found that 53% of its employees were concerned about future health care benefits: A random sample of 80 of these employees were asked if they were now concemed about future health care benefits. Answer the following, assuming that there has been no change in the level of concern about health care benefits compared to the survey bwo years ago a What is the standard enor of the sample proportion who are concerned? b. What is the probability that the sample proportion is less than 0.507 cWhat is the upper limit of the sample proportion such that only 4% of the time the sample proportion would exceed this value?

Suppose the demand for a company’s product in week 1,2, & 3 are each normally distributed. The means are 50, 45, and 65. The standard deviations are 10,5, and 15. Assume these 3 demands are probabilistically independent. Suppose the company has 180 units in stock, and it will not be receiving any more shipments from its supplier for at least 3 weeks. What is the probability that stock will run out during the 3 week period? How many units should the company have in stock, so that it can be 98% certain of not running out during the 3 week period , assuming it will not receive any more shipments during this period?
