New research continues to highlight the long-term benefits of breastfeeding and its relationship with healthy offspring development. Suppose you are hired to sample a community with low rates of birth control in order to pilot your proposed program to educate new mothers on the benefits of breastfeeding. In this community, the overall prevalence of breastfeeding is only 7%, and you are told to sample from 18 new mothers. What is the probability that at least one mother is currently breastfeeding? 0.2708 0.6378 0.3622 0.7292

The report “Addiction Medicine: Closing the Gap between Science and Practice” from the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University reveals that addiction treatment is neglected by the medical system in the United States. It shows, in particular, that 15% of Americans have the disease of addiction and that 80% of them receive no form of treatment. Determine the probability that a randomly selected American has the disease of addiction and receives no form of treatment. Interpret your answer in terms of percentage.
R4.1. Quality control A consumer organization estimates that 29% of new cars have a cosmetic defect, such as a scratch or a dent, when they are delivered to car dealers. This same organization believes that 7% have a functional defect- something that does not work properly-and that 2% of new cars have both kinds of problems. a) If you buy a new car, what's the probability that it has some kind of defect? b) What's the probability it has a cosmetic defect but no functional defect? c) If you notice a dent on a new car, what's the probability it has a functional defect? d) Are the two kinds of defects disjoint events? Explain. e) Do you think the two kinds of defects are independent events? Explain.
