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.

Data from 14 cities were combined for a 20-year period, and the total 280 city-years included a total of 153 homicides. After finding the mean number of homicides per city-year, find the probability that a randomly selected city-year has the following numbers of homicides, then compare the actual results to those expected by using the Poisson probabilities: Homicides each city-year а.

10. The number of students who fail per semester is often modeled as a Poisson random variable. Assume that on the average there are 6 students who fail per sem. d. If exponential distribution can model this system, what is the probability that there will be no failing students right after midterm? Let X denote the time in semesters from the start of the interval until the first failure and that a semester is divided by midterm period.e. Calculate the probability that there will be a failing student within the first semester.f. Calculate the probability that a failing student will be first spotted after midterm up to end of the first semester?

Suppose that 14% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked (rather than having to be scrapped). Consider a random sample of 200 shafts, and let X denote the number among these that are nonconforming and can be reworked. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) In USE SALT (a) What is the (approximate) probability that X is at most 30? (b) What is the (approximate) probability that X is less than 30?

The finish of a hole depends on the edge of the bit used, only 1% of the holes with a new drill have an irregular cut, 3% have an irregular cut with average bits and 5% present irregular cut with worn bits. If 25% of the holes are made with new bits, 60% have average edges and 15% are worn out. [use 3 decimal places] a) If a piece is taken at random, what is the probability of having holes irregular? b) If a piece with irregular holes is taken, what is the probability that would have been made with an average drill bit?
