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 1⁄4 :35, and calculate the probability that: (d) Between three and six inclusive were preventable

The probabilities that the diameter of any item is less than, greater than or equal to some accepted value are respectively 0.05, 0.10 and 0.85. From the total lot, one selects 100 random samples. Find the probability that among them there will be five items with a smaller diameter and five with a larger diameter than the acceptable diameter.
A sample of n=64 observation (independently drawn) is selected from a population with mean 20 and s.d.16. What is the probability that the sample mean is less than 15.5?
A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of aspirin tablets. The acceptance sampling plan is to randomly select and test 22 tablets, then accept the whole batch if there is only one or none that doesn't meet the required specifications. If a particular shipment of thousands of aspirin tablets actually has a 6% rate of defects, what is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted? ... The probability that this whole shipment will be accepted is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
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?
Two chips are drawn at random from a bowl containing 2 white and 3 red chips. Let ?=X=the number of red chips drawn. (a) Write down the probability distribution for ?X. (b) What is the expected value of ?X? (c) Compute the standard deviation of ?X.
Suppose that 70% of Americans support the death penalty for persons convicted of murder. Let p> (p hat) be the sample proportion of proportion of people who support the death penalty in an SRS of Americans. Suppose we set our sample size to be n=84. What is the probability of choosing an SRS in which between 65% and 73% of the people in the people in the sample support the death penalty? That is, find P(0.65<p(phat)<0.73).
