**Question 5:** The quality control at a refrigerator factory has shown that approximately 3% of the refrigerators that come off the assembly line are defective. If we make 1000 refrigerators, what is the approximate probability that more than 30 refrigerators are defective?---Explanation for Website:In this problem, we are dealing with a probability scenario involving defective units in a manufacturing process. Given that 3% of refrigerators are typically defective, we want to calculate the likelihood that more than 30 out of 1000 refrigerators produced are defective.This type of probability problem can be approached using the binomial distribution, which is suitable for scenarios where there are two possible outcomes, such as defective or non-defective. However, given the large sample size (1000), one might also use a normal approximation for a simpler computation. This question requires knowledge of probability distributions and is typical in quality control analysis.

On March 28, 1979, the nuclear generating facility at Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania, began discharging radiation into the atmosphere. People exposed to even low levels of radiation can experience health problems ranging from very mild to severe, even causing death. A local newspaper reported that 11 babies were born with kidney problems in the three-county area surrounding the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant. The expected value for that problem in infants in that area was 3. Answer the following questions. 7. Do you think that pregnant mothers living in that area should be overly concerned after looking at the results in terms of rates?
