Many manufacturers have quality control programs that include inspection of incoming materials for defects. Suppose a computer manufacturer receives computer boards in lots of five. Three boards are selected from each lot randomly for inspection. If we number the boards 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, a possible random selection is (2, 4, 5). a. List the ten different possible selections. b. Suppose that the boards 1 and 4 are the only defective boards in a lot of five. Three boards are to be chosen at random. Define X as the number of defective boards observed among those inspected. Find the probability distribution (pmf) of X.

5. An office manager is looking to purchase a new printer for his office. He has narrowed his choices down to four printers but cannot decide which of the four he prefers. He has decided to choose two of the four printers at random, and then to let the other members of the office decide which of the two they prefer. The speeds, in pages per minute, of the four printers are 25, 30, 27, and 32. Considering the speeds of the two printers chosen to be the sample, what are the mean and the standard deviation of the sample mean?

Mike Wilde is president of the teachers’ union for Otsego School District. In preparing for upcoming negotiations, he is investigating the salary structure of classroom teachers in the district. He believes there are three factors that affect a teacher’s salary: years of experience, a teaching effectiveness rating given by the principal, and whether the teacher has a master’s degree. A random sample of 20 teachers resulted in the following data. Salary ($ thousands), y Years of Experience, x1 Principal's Rating, x2 Master's Degree,* x3 31.1 8 35 0 33.6 5 43 0 29.3 2 51 1 43.0 15 60 1 38.6 11 73 0 45.0 14 80 1 42.0 9 76 0 36.8 7 54 1 48.6 22 55 1 31.7 3 90 1 25.7 1 30 0 30.6 5 44 0 51.8 23 84 1 46.7 17 76 0 38.4 12 68 1 33.6 14 25 0 41.8 8 90 1 30.7 4 62 0 32.8 2 80 1 42.8 8 72 0…

1. A realtor sells houses in three different neighborhoods in the city—A, B and C. He sells ranch style homes and two-story homes. Last year, 60% of his sales were in neighborhood A, while neighborhood B made up 25% and neighborhood C was 15% of the sales. Only 10% of the houses in neighborhood A were ranches, compared with 40% for neighborhood B and 50% for neighborhood C. Suppose we randomly select one of the homes he sold in one of these three neighborhoods. (1) What’s the probability that the home is a ranch? (Enter a decimal as your answer, round to the nearest thousandth when necessary) (2) If the home is a ranch, what’s the probability that it is in neighborhood C? (Enter a decimal as your answer, round to the nearest thousandth when necessary)
