When a production line is properly adjusted, it is found that 4% of the mechanical components produced are defective. Occasionally settings go out of adjustment, and more defectives are produced. A sample of 12 components is examined and the number of defectives is counted. An adjustments have gone badly wrong so that 7.5% of the components are defective. Now what is the probability of a Type II error?

A government sample survey plans to measure the total cholesterol level of an SRS of men aged 20-34. suppose that, in fact, the total cholesterol level of men aged 20-34 follows the normal distribution with a mean of 182 milligrams per deciliter. The standard deviation is 37 milligrams per deciliter. choose an SRS of 1000 men from this population. Now what is the probability that x falls within + or - 2 milligrams per deciliter of the mean?

Cody took his first physics exam and scored an 80. The population mean for this exam is 70, and the standard deviation is 5. What is the probability of selecting a person with a score greater than Cody’s?
Customers of a restaurant have been complaining about food poisoning over the past week. A health professional was called to investigate. She tested a representative sample of the eggs and reported that 24% of the sample eggs tested positive for the salmonella bacterium. If a second health professional tests 66 eggs at random, what is the probability that exactly 14 test positive for salmonella? Use a normal distribution to approximate the answer and write it as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.
Many consumers pay careful attention to stated nutritional contents on packaged foods when making purchases, so it is important that the information on packages be accurate. Suppose that a random sample of n = 12 frozen dinners of a certain type was selected and the calorie content of each one was determined. Below are the resulting observations, along with a boxplot and normal probability plot.
