Suppose that 27% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked (rather than having to be scrapped). (a) In a random sample of 227 shafts, find the approximate probability that between 53 and 67 (inclusive) are nonconforming and can be reworked. (b) In a random sample of 227 shafts, find the approximate probability that at least 65 are nonconforming and can be reworked.

A sample of water has a 10% chance of containing a organic pollutant Assume that the samples are independent with regard to the presence of the pollutant. Find the probability that the next 18 samples (i) exactly 3 contain the pollutant. (ii) at least two samples contain the gollutant.
A new surgery is successfully 85% of the time . If the results of 7 such surgeries are randomly sampled, what is the probability that at least 5 of them are successful. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places, and round your answer to two decimal places.
In a survey of U.S. adults with a sample size of 2082, 370 said Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II. Two U.S. adults are selected at random from this sample without replacement. Complete parts (a) through (d). (a) Find the probability that both adults say Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II. The probability that both adults say Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II is O. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (b) Find the probability that neither adult says Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II. The probability that neither adult says Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) Find the probability that at least one of the two adults says Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II. The probability that at least one of the two adults says Franklin Roosevelt was the best president since World War II is.…

2) A particular NBA player is a career 59% field goal shooter. If he takes 50 shots, find: a) the probability he makes at most 30 using the normal approximation to the binomial. b) the probability he makes exactly 28 using the normal approximation to the binomial.
The proportion of items in a population that possess a specific attribute is known to be 0.25 a. If a simple random sample of size n=100 is selected and the proportion of items in the sample that contain the attribute of interest is 0.30, what is the sampling error b. Referring to part a, what is the probability that a sample size of 100 would have a sample proportion of 0.30 or less if the population proportion is 0.25
Suppose a dresser drawer has blue shirts, yellow shirts, red shirts, and green shirts so that if a shirt is pulled from the drawer at random, each color has an equal chance of being drawn. P(Green) = P(Blue) = P(Red) = P(Yellow) = ¼. Complete parts (a) – (d) to create a probability distribution for the number of yellow shirts if two shirts are pulled from the drawer at random (replacing the shirt after each draw). a. List each possible outcome for the colors of the shirts if two shirts are drawn randomly from the drawer. The teacher said there should be total of 16 outcomes, not 9 or 10. In my original answer, I have 10 outcomes when there should be 16. c.Find the probability of each event (not the probability from each outcome) from part (b). For my first answer, I had the probability of each outcome, and I should have the probability of each event.
