Car tyres come in many different brands. Even on a car, the tyres can wear out after travelling different distances, due to cornering, braking and wheel alignment. Manufacturers of car tyres are interested in the average distance in kilometres travelled by tyres, or the lifetime of tyres until they are considered un-usable and need to be replaced. At this time a tyre is considered un roadworthy

When a scientist conducted a genetics experiments with peas, one sample of offspring consisted of 927 peas, with 723 of them having red flowers. If we assume, as the scientist did, that under these circumstances, there is a 3/4 probability that a pea will have a red flower, we would expect that 695.25 (or about 695) of the peas would have red flowers, so the result of 723 peas with red flowers is more than expected. a. If the scientist's assumed probability is correct, find the probability of getting 723 or more peas with red flowers. b. Is 723 peas with red flowers significantly high? c. What do these results suggest about the scientist's assumption that 3/4 of peas will have red flowers?
A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of ibuprofen tablets and uses an acceptance sampling plan. This plan randomly selects and tests 26 tablets, then accepts the whole batch if there is at most one that doesn't meet the required specifications. What is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted if a particular shipment of thousands of ibuprofen tablets actually has a 12% rate of defects? (Report answer as a decimal value accurate to four decimal places.) P(accept shipment) =
